Zimbabwean first lady, Grace Mugabe declared herself as the new president to take over when her husband, Robert Mugabe eventually steps down due to his concerned health issues.
According to Buzz South Africa Grace made the declaration while speaking to the ruling Zanu-PF party women’s league over the weekend.
According to the report, Mashonaland West Zanu-PF women’s league chairperson Angeline Muchemeyi said Grace, told them that there was no point for her fighting to be vice president, 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,” Muchemeyi was quoted as saying.
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.
