Zimbabwe's First Lady Grace Mugabe says there is no vacancy at State House and MDC-T leader Mr Morgan Tsvangirai was dreaming if he thinks that he will be the next President after the harmonised elections on July 31.

Addressing thousands of people gathered at Nzvimbo High School to attend President Mugabe's first star rally, Mugabe said the MDC-T leader was not leadership material.

"I want to repeat what I said in 2008. Ndakataura kuti kuState House hakuna vacancy. Ngazvinzwisisike izvozvo," she said. (Ngatsho ukuthi eState House akula msebenzi.  Kakuzwisise khonokho)

"Tsvangirai akaenda achinyunyuta kuti VaMugabe mukadzi wenyu ati kuState House hakuna vacancy zvino nanhasi ngoma ndiyo ndiyo. Hakuna vacancy kuState House. Tichiriko full time and ndinozviva kuti imimi mune confidence nemutungamiri wenyu ndiye wamunoda kuti arambe ari muState House." (uTsvangirai wahamba ekhuluma ukuthi Mugabe umkakho uthe eState House akulamsebenzi, manje lamhlanje ngitsho njalo, eState House akula msebenzi. Silokhe sikhona full time and ngiyazi ukuthi lina liyamthemba umongameli wenu, nguye elifuna ukuthi ayale ekhona eState House)

She said leadership was not about changing women or going to holidays - in apparent reference to Mr Tsvangirai's love life where he flirted with several women two years ago before he settled for Ms Elizabeth Macheka.

"Vamwe vanofunga kuti kana waitwa mutungamiri kuenda kuma beach kuchinjanisa vakadzi uchidya dumbu richifuta kudai. Kutonga hakusi kuenda kuholiday. Kutonga kuita zvinodikwa nevanhu uchishanda pachokwadi." (Abanye bacabanga ukuthi ma sebeyenzwe umongameli ukuya kuma beach, ukuntshintshanisa abafazi usidla isisu sisiba sikhulu kangaka. Ukubusa akusi ukuya kuholiday. Ukubusa yikwenza okuthandwa ngabantu usebenza ngeqiniso)

She said President Mugabe is a hardworking leader who remained resolute on what he believed was best for the people of Zimbabwe.

"Baba vedu munhu ari consistent. Zvavakataura makore apfuura nemakore ati pfuurei hazvichinje. Hakuna chinhu chakaoma sekuti nyika yese inenge ichikurwisa iwe uchiramba wakashinga chete. (uBaba ngumuntu o consistent. Akutsho kudala akuntshintshi. Akulanto ebuhlungu njengokuthi ilizwe lonke liyabe likulwisa wena wale unjalo)

"Baba rambai makashinga nekuti simba ramuinaro rinobva kuna iye musiki. Saka vanorota vachiti dai Mugabe azombodai kana kuti dai ambobva ngavarote zvavo hazvisati zvave kuitika. (Baba yalani linjalo ngoba amandla elilawo avela kumvelinqangi. Abaphupha besithi ngani uMugabe uyasuka kabaphuphe akukenzeki)

"Isusu vana Mai Mugabe hatisi vanhu vanochinjwa, hatichinjwe nyange dai zvinhu zvikaoma sei. Tinoramba takangomira tichidzidziswa nemi baba," she said. (Thina kMugabe asibantu abantshintshwayo loba izinto zingabazimbi kanganani. Sizahlala lani lisifundisa njalo)

Amai Mugabe donated food assortments worth thousands of dollars to orphans and the elderly in Chiweshe.
