A staunch Grace Mugabe supporter - Gokwe-Nembudziya legislator Justice Mayor Wadyajena has rebelled against Grace by pulled down her [posters from his BMW sport utility vehicle in protest over the brutal attack of war veterans by police in Harare.
Wadyajena removed the stickers at Parliament Building just before the afternoon sitting on Thursday.
He threw the stickers in a rubbish bin by Parliament Building entrance.
"He went to his car in anger and started pulling off Grace's stickers from his car, saying she was behind the police brutality on war vets," one MP told NewsDay.
"We saw him remove the stickers from his car that was parked on the third row from the entrance of Parliament's parking lot. He threw the stickers in a rubbish bin by Parliament Building entrance.
"When he entered the House, other MPs, who saw him, asked why he decided to do that in public, and he told them that it was his car and was free to do whatever he wanted with it because no one bought it for him."
Wadyajena said: "It's now a broken record invoking the name of our dear mother the First Lady. No amount of tomfoolery will justify such shameless fabrications. I'm sorry there is no story there."
But Nkayi South MP for Abednico Bhebhe (MDC-T) said: "When I saw the car last Thursday, it no longer had stickers, but two weeks ago, it had them. I asked him why he removed them, he just laughed."
The Gokwe-Nembudziya MP was among the first Zanu PF supporters to have Grace's stickers on his vehicles when the First Lady was leading a campaign that culminated in the ouster of former Vice-President Joice Mujuru.
Wadyajena has a pending court case where he is accused of insulting Grace at a Zanu PF conference in Victoria Falls in December.
