Its no longer news that Zimbabwe’s First Lady Grace Mugabe has Filed For Divorce to leave her twenty one year marriage over concerns about her role as an irresponsible former First Lady of Zimbabwe and a bane on the nation’s economy.
The world is in shock after sources close to the Mugabe family confirmed that Grace Mugabe has filed for divorce on Wednesday.
The South African born woman has voiced concerns over her role as the former First Lady of Zimbabwe, claiming that it’s about time she enjoys some peaceful life and she is not prepared to be ridiculed for the years ahead, her ostracism and her husband’s resignation as the leader of Zimbabwe have gradually grown into life threatening headache.
“She’s been very upset ever since Mugabe gave up to hand over power to his ousted Vice-president,” said a source close to the family.
“She wanted a role as a First Lady, not as a woman who acts as subordinate.
She is also not prepared to leave her luxurious lifestyle to live in a home of captivity. She thinks that the decor is despicable and beyond repair.”- the source disclosed.
Judiciary spokesman, Lawrence Brown has confirmed divorce proceedings were in motion and if both parties agree, they could go their separate ways in about a month.
Throughout her husband’s presidency she had supervised the government’s poverty relief programmes and a strong force behind women’s affairs in ZANU-PF.
Grace Mugabe had an affair with the married President when working as a secretary in his office.
Grace Mugabe has assumed an increasingly political role in recent years. Born in Benoni, South Africa, she became wedded to Robert in what was dubbed Zimbabwe’s “Wedding of the Century” following the death of the president’s first wife, Sally Hayfron after suffering kidney failure in 1992.
The couple had two boys – Robert Jr, 25, and Chutunga, 21, – who have become “Playboys” flaunting their wealth and party exploits on social media.
South African-born Grace, 52, is also legendary for her ostentatious living. So much so that’s she been dubbed “Gucci Grace” for her shopping as millions of Zimbabweans live in poverty.
Grace recently sued a Lebanese gem dealer for failing to deliver a 100-carat diamond ring, worth more than £800,000.
Her ambitions to take over from her ailing 93-year-old husband led to their demise, according to many observers and the sacking of popular vice-president Emmerson Mnangagwa appeared to have been the final straw.
