Grace Mugabe, First Lady of Zimbabwe has announced herself as the new
president to take over when her husband, Robert Mugabe finally steps down due
to his concerned health issues.
Robert Mugabe, is the world's oldest and one of
the longest serving Head of State at 92 years old. Mugabe having ruled for over
30 years, was reportedly advised to drop out of the 2018 election race by his
medical doctors, which possibly is the main reason he is forcing himself into
retirement.
Speaking at a gathering over the weekend, Mashonaland West women’s league
chairperson, Angeline Muchemeyi revealed that Grace Mugabe who has been the
league secretary since 2014, told them that there is no point for her fighting
for a lesser position after several plans and arrangements had been made with
the ailing president to hand over the role of the state affairs to her.The First Lady said:
‘I’m the wife of the president, I’m the president already … I plan and do everything with the president, what more do I want, for now the position of the women boss is enough.’
