Grace Mugabe moves in to exploit the intimate vulnerability and weakness common to most men

'All my internal organs and bones are strong and functioning' says Mugabe, Grace moves in to exploit the intimate vulnerability and weakness common to most men.

President Mugabe was married to his late wife Sally for several years and then came the temptation from Grace Marufu (Mugabe) at the time when his wife was ailing on a sick bed. The temptation from Grace could have arisen out of her proximity with the President at the ZANU PF Jongwe offices and of course the erotic moral weakness with women that are characteristic with most men. The saying that "behind every great man's fall is a woman" may be a relevant point of reference in this argument. This view is further re-enforced by the biblical phenomenon code named the 'Delilah Effect' drawn from the stories of Samson and Delilah, Adam and Eve, Ahab and Jezebel, and Lot and his wife. These stories explain the demise of powerful biblical characters at the hands of women depicting the earthly role of Grace over the President in the case of ZANU PF succession battles.

ZANU PF succession has the trademarks of the 'Delilah Effect.' Some within ZANU PF have code named the ZANU PF succession battles, the Graceland Effect; the bed room coup; conjugal power; bedroom seminars; proximity to the president, sexually transmitted politics and matrimonial leashing of the President by the first lady. The pronouncement by Grace Mugabe at Chinhoyi youth interface rally that President Mugabe should anoint a successor left President Mugabe a lame duck. The call by Grace for a successor did not attract any form of consequences or retribution from the President as is the norm by the President to reprimand those who make reference to regime change. This explains the power of the 'Delilah Effect' that Grace is using as an asset to manipulate the President to get her way including her own protection when making embarrassing attacks towards fellow ZANUPF members. Grace is challenging her husband to make the announcement because the decision has already been made during several all night bedroom seminars but Mugabe is holding back to make the announcement for just a while.

Ilse Koch was the wife of Karl Koch, commanding officer of the concentration camps 1937 to 1943. Ilse got drunk with absolute power rendered by her husband during the era of the dictator, Adolf Hitler. Using the power and authority of her husband, Karl Koch, Ilse got involved in corruption, obscenity, torture and murder of inmates. She was notorious for her souvenirs; tattoos peeled off with the skins of murdered inmates and used the tattoos as trophies. She built the state of the art indoor sports arena in 1940, with 250,000 marks stolen from inmates and following that leveraging her power from the position of her husband, Karl Koch; Ilse got parachuted to the position of concentration camps chief overseer. She committed suicide by hanging following a protracted trial on her murderous crimes. There are similarities to the present Grace Mugabe and Mugabe relationship in how they project themselves in the power matrix of the country. President Mugabe has derailed from the traditional way of leading people and he has fallen to the wayward charms of his wife. This behaviour is not helpful to the future of Grace when Mugabe is no longer around in the short while to come.

The matrimonial power of evil of Elan Ceausescu, wife of the Romanian dictator, Nicolae Ceausescu led to the death of the couple by a firing squad on 25 December 1989 for crimes against humanity including genocide. It was a Christmas present for the people of Roman who had suffered tremendously under the rule Nicolae Ceausescu influenced by his wife. Elan is believed to have been instrumental and had a pretty large hand in what was going in the state house. She had a large thirsty for power influencing her husband to make unpleasant national decisions. She gave herself several high positions in government, harassed government officials, converted state money to her own use, presided over the torture and killings of those who spoke against her husband's failures, captured the state security organs and she imposed the total withdrawal of supply of contraception pills for women as she wanted to boost the falling birth rates in Romania. It is believed that Elena Ceausescu's idea of women furthering the cause by having more children led to the deaths of over 10,000 women due to backyard abortions, as well as the orphaning of over 100,000 children, all of whom were forced to live in appalling conditions in state run orphanages.

Grace Mugabe is currently working as an apprentice understudying the President with respect to the doctrines and codes of power and control; divide and rule; instilling fear in hearts and minds of people; and stick and carrot which President Mugabe has used all these years to remain in power. Grace Mugabe is in fact currently performing the duties of a president. She is a de-facto president in preparation to be the next president. Senior government and ZANU PF officials are already compliant to her influence and authority even though she does not hold a position in the public office. She is the preferred choice of President Mugabe. It is a return of favour by the President for the apple provided to him from the Garden of Graceland abundant with fruits right inside his bedroom. The current problem with Mugabe is how to make the declaration to anoint Grace without appearing that he is being influenced by the 'Delilah Effect' but that time is coming as it does not fail. There is a worry that defence minister Sydney Sekeramayi has allowed himself to be used as a decoy in the succession battle. G40 has effectively allocated its members roles. The role of Grace Mugabe is to charm Mugabe to declare her the next president perhaps her and to push for women league support; Jonathan Moyo is allocated to deal with Mnangagwa to write him off, Kasukuwere's role is to strength the pro G40 structures, Chipanga is to mobilise the youths to support Grace and Patrick is to run the youth bank as a source of inducement for the youths. Mugabe is used as protective cover. That is why he should not die.
