Grace Mugabe runs amok, something has happened to her

The relentless obsessive and compulsive looting, grabbing and stealing of private and state resources by Grace without a recourse to those resources, and without financial compensation to the affected and a disregard of the rights of others is a prototype of ultimate evil of greed.

Could this be worse than that of Imelda Marcos, Cecilia Kadzamira and Winnie Mandela? All we know is that all these women's quest for wealth ended them in solitude and misery. Grace seemingly struggles with a severe and enduring addiction to materialism that has become a security risk to the country and to her personal wellbeing. Her addiction has become a progressive illness to seek gratification, power, authority and control so she must constantly seek to accumulate more and more material wealth to satisfy a distorted view that to be powerful she must be wealthy.

The vicious cycle that she has to contend with is dealing with the urges and cravings for more power and so she grabs more, much to the bewilderment of the people of Zimbabwe. Once she steals or grabs from the state and private citizens she gets driven to grab more to get the ego gratification that she requires in order to feel good about herself. She has an underling belief that she requires greater and greater material and financial success to help her to sustain her cherished illusion that she really is superior and powerful. This gives her a sense of fiscal and material elation, bravado and maniac. It is hard to imagine given this king of personality if Grace is the kind of leader that our country needs.

Grace Mugabe has a greed-laden, extreme, short-sighted and  irresponsible materialist personality in pursuance of wealth in its audacity and cruelty that is grossly insensitivity to the needs and feelings of others, in particular members of society that are in a position of vulnerability. The people around Mazowe have suffered the brunt of the evil of greed.  Grace's mercenary and ego-driven material, obsessive political and social pursuits of achievements is self-inflicted; undermines her integrity, image and respect. This is an incredible a dent to her social and moral national standing and for now I do not think she cares. She has developed a thick skin she may say she has but underneath that skin is someone who is emotionally fragile. She confuses artificial conformity of respect and unconditional respect of her by people. She associates respect as being attached to materialism. Grace is already very rich and she does not even remember where some her wealth is. The presentation now is that of emotional and psychological deficiencies very much like alcohol and drugs addiction, sexual addiction, fashion addiction or addiction to food. It is necessary for those significant in her life to provide better advice and guidance to rescue her from this ego- trap.

The production of wealth most of which Grace does not need is unhelpful self-inoculation to camouflage underlying and unrecognized feelings of fear, distress, depression, anxiety and guilt. Her response to the underlying problems is represented by narcissistic, self-importance, egotistic, anger and vain tendencies. Grace is exceedingly competitive and aggressive in responding to critical views by others especially when those views expose her weaknesses. She takes ruthless advantage of every opportunity to accumulate wealth and she does not seem to shy away from turning against others in the process to get what she wants. The sad story is that the state and the President is providing her with all the police and legal assistance she needs to feed her addiction of materialism and power. The compulsive drivers for accumulating wealth are her therapy to deal with loneliness, lack of satisfying relationships, lack of affection, intimacy and love; unconditional acceptance and even  her own self-acceptance. Money does not naturally buy these things.
 
When Grace accumulates more wealth (illegal wealth) other problems set in for her. The major fear is to avoid any possible wealth reversal. The fear of losing the wealth she has illegal accumulated is a reality. She copes with this fear and anxiety by spreading her economic fortunes all over the world to increase her chances of holding onto some of her ill-gotten wealth in the event that the people of Zimbabwe reclaim what she stole from them. For now the cravings will go on and the next to be grabbed by Grace Mugabe is the motor way along the Mazowe dam. As long as precipitants such presidential and state protection which are vital resource to feed her addiction continue to exist more headlines about Grace grabbing more properties that she never worked for are on the way.
