Grace Mugabe is hallucinating, says opposition parties

First Lady Grace has come under fire for declaring that President Robert Mugabe "will rule from the grave" during the Zanu-PF million-man-march in Harare on Wednesday.

Analysts and opposition parties said the message was a clear sign the 92-year-old leader wanted to die in power. MDC-T secretary-general Douglas Mwonzora said the decision on who rules the country lies with the people.

Political analyst Pedzisai Ruhanya said Grace appeared to have an idea of when Mugabe was likely to go and was preparing the nation for that eventuality.

He said the fact that Zanu-PF failed to mobilise a million people showed that people had at best resisted Mugabe's overtures.
