Green bombers rally behind Grace Mugabe

Zanu-PF youths in Masvingo have openly declared allegiance to First Lady Grace Mugabe, saying anyone who opposes her was against President Robert Mugabe.

This sets them for a bruising showdown with war veterans who blasted Grace, saying her conduct of publicly attacking party leaders was "unmotherly", urging her to "behave".

Zimbabwe National Liberation War Veterans' Association national executive member Francis Zimuto, whose Chimurenga nom de guerre was Black Jesus, on Tuesday dared Grace, telling her she was just a "young girl", whose behaviour was in sharp contrast to her predecessor, the late Sally.
