First Lady Grace Mugabe yesterday said she turned down a $10 million bribe to persuade her husband President Robert Mugabe to abandon the land reform programme, according to The Herald. But it was not clear whether this was 10 million Zimbabwe dollars or 10 million United States dollars. Zimbabwe currently uses United States dollars but it was using its own local currency when the land reform started. “Munoziva zvatiri pano takaenda through zvakawanda zvatakaona. Baba kwaiuya vanhu vachioffer kuti toda kukuvakirai imba. Pane vakauya tikati let us look at the plan zvikanzi thank you very much kana une mari endesa kuZANU-PF.
