Zim First Lady says MP is harassing her

First Lady Grace Mugabe said Mazowe South legislator Fortune Chasi was terrorising her in Mazowe where she has a children’s home and had told people in the area that she and her husband wanted to take all the land in Mazowe.  She said that Chasi, who is the Deputy Minister for Justice, was very rich and was using his money to hire lawyers to block her from getting more  land. “I must be open and honest. Muno muconstituency muno tina MP munyowani, ini handinyatsomuzivi anonzi Chasi . . Ndakangonzwawo kuti ane mari sitereki saka anenge achienda kumalawyer. Zvazvakaita ndakaita apply pane conservancy iri kuseri uko which was being run by the whites.  Ndikangoona yakagara, then I applied to use it to raise mari yekuchengeta vana pano apa ndobva ndapiwa tsamba inini. Saka vanhu vakangozvigarisa vaichera chera imomo vakanzi vabude, iye akati ‘muri kuvaburitsirei?

Akatengwa nemurungu akapiwa mari akati handiride,” the First Lady was quoted by The Herald as saying.  Grace Mugabe has been proposed at the secretary for the Women’s League which will see her going into the party’s highest body, the politburo.
