President Mugabe last Friday expressed concern over the high rate of divorce that was destroying many families. He said in most cases, men were to blame for the break-ups.
President Mugabe said it was disturbing that the rate of divorce in the country was increasing at an alarming rate. He urged couples who face problems to approach elders for counselling rather than resorting to divorcing.
Meanwhile, Mugabe has said Zanu-PF is solidly united and will not allow rumours to divide and destroy its top leadership, including the two Vice Presidents with liberation war credentials. He said factions did not exist in the revolutionary party, which only had distinctive organs. He emphasised the need for unity.
Zanu-PF Secretary for Women's Affairs First Lady Grace Mugabe says the Women's League is in full support of the party's two Vice Presidents, Phelekezela Mphoko and Emmerson Mnangagwa.
She dismissed wrong insinuations and misunderstandings drawn from the women's cry to be represented in the party's Presidium as implying efforts to remove one of the two VPs.
The First Lady said proposed amendments to a section of the Zanu-PF constitution were wrongly misinterpreted as a strategy by women to oust one of the reigning VPs, stressing that the league was solidly behind the VPs' leadership.
