"Mugabe isimbi yebasa. Nyaya yaMugabe ichanetsa. Tine basa naye Mugabe, Tichamusumudza mudhaara wedu, mubhara (Mugabe is a strong man ready to work, the issue of Mugabe (succession) will be very problematic, we will carry him in a wheelbarrow)," she said.

At another recent rally, Grace also indicated that a special wheelchair would be designed for the aging leader who has appeared in news broadcasts struggling to walk unaided on foreign trips.
