Dr Amai Grace Mugabe is right

It is quite perplexing and surprising that some private and hostile media applauds South Africa's Women's Affairs Minister, Susan Shabangu, for her reported remarks against the First Lady, Dr Amai Grace Mugabe. The minister is ill informed and advised and does not know the First Lady well and the works she did to the nation.

It is alleged that Minister Shabangu" hit the nail on the head when she said Amai Grace Mugabe is oppressed and needs to be liberated, otherwise how can anyone explain her oafish remarks on rape? Recently she spoke out about touts who harassed women wearing miniskirts and we all thought this was the voice of reason. How wrong we were. (Amai) Grace has made a volte-face, pegging back the fight for gender equality."

The private media alleges that following remarks attributed to the First Lady, there have been reports of women being harassed at some bus termini for wearing miniskirts, with the perpetrators allegedly telling their victims that the First Lady said they were asking for it. This is the misinterpretation of reality.

It is high time that Shabangu should know that the First Lady is a realist and very pragmatic. In fact the First Lady is a woman of the moment who is a caring politician.

It must be recalled that the First Lady actually called for castration of rapists. She only chastised wayward young girls who wear miniskirts with an intention     

Zimbabwe's current economic problems can be tackled by brave personalities in the likes of the first lady Dr Amai grace Mugabe  has proved to be frank when it comes of saying out the truth.

The country is being bedeviled by corruption and in most cases those who are supposed to lead by example are the ones who are spearheading this cancer. Woe to you corrupt people for you are like whitewashed tombstones which are full of extortions and rapacity. For you preach to be righteous during the day whilst during the night you will be involved in shoddy deals.

We should all shun corruption and get involved in serious business for if we continue with the status quo surely this country will crumple before we know it. The first lady should continue shaming this brood of vipers who are continuing to ruin the country. The level of corruption has reached alarming levels to the extent that even the police ,who are supposed to be the custodians of the law, are being involved in the vice  on daily basis, hence, the First Lady's concerns about the vice.

Surely who will guard the guard in such scenarios; we should all welcome the First Lady's stance on corruption. Some proponents of regime change are now opposing the First Lady's move alleging that she is fast becoming a dictator. The truth is that these people are now seeing that the First Lady is cleansing the messy which was created by some corrupt and power hungry individuals in their self aggrandizing nefarious activities.

Regime change agents and MDC should stop labeling ZANU PF supporters as if it is a crime to be a party member. In the inclusive government MDC failed to address the economic backlog now they are politicizing the issue and strategizing on how to block the projects. The MDC run councils and local authorities have also been found wanting as they involved in corruption. Really no one is perfect on this earth of ours.

The first lady has been involved in a number of philanthropic activities. Among some of her philanthropic works include the upkeep of orphans in Mazowe and the ongoing distribution of food and other goods throughout the country. Her noble philanthropic work is being admired by other First Ladies around the world.  The First Lady has been instrumental in empowering women and exposing corrupt officials in the government.  Corrupt officials in the government fear to be exposed, hence the vice has been reduced although a lot more needs to be done.
