Grace Mugabe frustrates Mnangagwa in Dubai

Vice President Emmerson Mnangagwa reportedly used a private jet owned by multi-millionaire arms dealer to fly to Dubai for a private meeting with President Robert Mugabe - but he was, however jettisoned by the ever presence of First Lady Grace Mugabe who allegedly did not give him a chance for a one-on-one with the 91 year old.

As details surrounding the embattled VP trip to Dubai emerge, the Daily News was told by the authoritative sources that the South African millionaire Ivor Ichikowitz- who is involved in arms dealings- provided the jet but it was not clear at the time of going to press yesterday why Mnangagwa decided to use the controversial businessman's plane.

Vice President Phelekezela Mphoko also left for Dubai to meet the Mugabes.
