I am an achiever, I don’t compete with women- Zimbabwe First Lady says

Zimbabwe’s First Lady Grace Mugabe told church leaders and their members yesterday that she is an achiever. She does not compete with women because they have been marginalised for a long time. She competes with men.

“ Inini handisi munhu anovhaira kutaura zvandinoita, but I can promise you, I am an achiever, big achiever, I achieve great things, I do great things,” she told a rally organised by apostolic churches yesterday.

“I actually have said, I don’t compete with women because isusu semadzimai we have been marginalised for a long time, saka I compete with men. Ndinoshanda, zvakarongeka, musambonditye, kana muchida kundipa basa ndipei makasununguka.

“Yes, that is the truth; that is the truth, handitauri zvekunyeba, handisati ndambotaura izvi, handisati, ndatanga nhasi but ndichataura kuti sei ndiri kuzvitaura.

“Vanhu vanofanira kundinzwa kuti ndinogona basa, ndipei muone,” she said.
