Ailing Minister for Masvingo Provincial Affairs Shuvai Mahofa is under probe following revelations that she looted some of President Robert Mugabe's first daughter Bona's wedding gifts donated by big companies in Masvingo in 2014.
Some party members are saying the development will likely see Mahofa losing her ministerial post if proven guilty.
TellZim News was informed that Mahofa was left with an egg in the face at a meeting held in Harare a few days before the Victoria Falls conference in December when Masvingo Women's League chairlady Veronica Makonese openly told Grace that Mahofa was involved in a spate of corrupt activities.
It was also Makonese who told Grace that Mahofa looted Bona's wedding anniversary gifts and some donations which were supposed to be used at the Gutu - Mushayavanhu rally held recently.
"It was drama when Makonese burst and told Grace everything in front of Mahofa - she said Mhai munhu aripadivi penyu uyo haakudei (that lady next to you does not love you) and Mahofa screamed as she tried to stop Makonese.
However, Makonese refused to be stopped and went on to give a blow by blow account of how Mahofa was making money using the name of Zanu-PF and Grace," said the source.
Makonese confirmed that she reported everything to Grace but was reluctant to go into details saying the issue was still under investigation.
"Yes I told the First Lady everything. However, I cannot go into details, the whole issue is being investigated including that of the Mushayavanhu rally. I am not at liberty to divulge everything to you at the moment," said Makonese.
Zanu PF Masvingo provincial chairperson Ezra Ruvai Chadzamira refused to give details regarding the issue saying it was a Women's League matter but he however confirmed that an investigation team was coming to Masvingo.
"We don't know what exactly happened but we were informed that Makonese said something nasty about Mahofa at a meeting held in Harare just before the conference. Yes it's true that an investigation team is coming to Masvingo," said Chadzamira.
Although Mahofa who was reportedly ill could not be reached for a comment, party members said she fell sick soon after the Harare drama.
"She fell sick soon after that drama…she is aware of the consequences of the outcome of the investigations," said the source.
