Grace Mugabe foe killed by G40

The family of the late Midlands provincial heroine, Espinah Nhari, yesterday claimed the suspended Zanu PF women's boss was assassinated for her anti-G40 faction chant at a campaign rally addressed by First Lady Grace Mugabe in Gutu last year.

Addressing mourners in Kwekwe before her burial at the Midlands Provincial Heroes' Acre in Gweru yesterday, Nhari's son, Rodgers, said prior to her death, she received death threats from anonymous callers.

He said the callers felt offended by the women's league's secretary for administration's "Down with G40" chant at the rally, adding the horrific accident, which claimed her life last Friday, was engineered by her detractors in the ruling party.
