Grace Mugabe - the first lady from hell - has gone too far
07 Jul 2017 at 19:20hrs | Views
The People's Democratic Party has consistently criticised the demons of derangement unleashed many times against defenceless citizens by the first lady from hell.
The latest episode of the demonic manifestation must not be tolerated by any patriotic Zimbabwean. Grace Mugabe's decision to cease the Mazowe Dam is madness of the highest order; Zimbabweans must draw a line in the sand. Grace Must Fall, this is urgent business.
When an individual is allowed to cease state owned property because of their conjugal link to the highest office, the nation state automatically turns not only to a banana republic but into utter chaos.
Grace has in the past ceased farms displacing thousands of people leaving them homeless. Recently she expanded her territory deploying soldiers who were armed to the teeth to unlawfully evict occupants of Manzou Farm.
This incident left hundreds of families homeless, exposed to the relentless rain of the season with children and pregnant women also at the mess of the life threatening weather conditions. We find this despicable; the rate at which Grace is violating the people's rights has ceased being a pattern but a habit that has a danger of being accepted as the new normal.
This insatiable appetite of the first family from hell is flummoxing, they own a dozen farms against the dictates of the law which provides against multiple farm ownerships.
The fact that the law is being violated right inside the President's bedroom is an indictment on Mugabe whose biggest obligation is to uphold the constitution. Failure to rein his wife on such critical issues is enough evidence of a failure to discharge the duties expected of him by the supreme law of the land.
Realising that there is neither political will nor physical capacity to uphold the law, citizens' right to equal protection of the law is now a mere pipe dream. The only option Zimbabweans have is to create a coalition of champions not only against dictatorship but against the looting of resources and the destruction of a possible future for this country.
Beyond an election, the transformation agenda must include putting in place tight mechanisms guarding against abuse of privilege by those in power.
It is our contention that the conduct by the first lady from hell if unchallenged endangers not only the individuals in Mazowe or Zvimba but to everyone else who is a citizen of this country.
The family's lack of care is the only reason why they spend millions on a birthday party eating 93 kilograms of cake in the middle of starving villagers.
Grace publicly squandered millions on a diamond ring. Only Zimbabweans can save themselves from this situation.
