Grace Mugabe sees light on media functions

First Lady Grace Mugabe's sudden U-turn on her tirade targeted at journalists and showering them with praises on Friday, could be a positive sign she has seen the light on media functions.

Grace last week praised journalists saying they were "my hardworking children", but attacked senior party officials in the Zanu-PF politburo and central committee for leaking party information to the media.

While addressing a women's league rally in Gutu last Friday, Grace exonerated journalists, who wrote negatively about Zanu-PF private meetings, and accused senior party officials of selling out.

Media Institute of Southern Africa-Zimbabwe (Misa) director, Nhlanhla Ngwenya, said the acknowledgement by Grace that journalists were simply doing their jobs was encouraging and refreshing.
