What Insider readers said about Rugare Gumbo’s comment that Mugabe’s biggest blunder was marrying Grace

There was mixed reaction to Zimbabwe People First spokesman Rugare Gumbo’s sentiments that President Robert Mugabe’s biggest blunder was marrying Grace, who is more than 40 years younger than him, because she won’t let him step down.

Most people brushed this off as sour grapes because Gumbo was kicked out of the Zimbabwe African National Union-Patriotic Front but others argued that people must debate the issue not the personality.

Here is what our readers said in their own words:

Gain Sibanda: Their biggest blunder was in giving Mugabe sweeping powers to manipulate the party constitution and also allowing him unchallenged endorsements to the presidium. Grace just took advantage of the blunder.

Lawrence Siziba: Kana iwe rugare gumbo wakaita mistake pakuroora usafunga kuti nevanhu vese vakaita zvawakaita…otherwise handikusvori ndiwo maonero ako kwete eruzhinji
