First Lady Grace Mugabe has revealed that she used to climb trees the same way young boys do.
Speaking during her birthday celebrations as she called for gender equality,  Grace indicated she ruled the jungle.
The First Lady who was born in the diaspora in South Africa after her parents migrated in search of greener pastures, said she
“ grew up in a rural background, typical African rural environment.”
She continued, “I grew up a very disciplined girl. I could stand my ground among my peers. I could climb trees, milk cows, fetch firewood and carry a bucket of water on my head.”
Grace called for equality between boys and girls, saying it was good that the new Constitution recognised gender equality.
She said girls should be empowered through education and praised President Mugabe for education policies which encouraged people to go to school.
“I realised early in my life as I grew up the importance of education and the difference it makes to one’s life,” she said.
“Education is the only chance that the girl child has to rise above the cultural customary practices that continue to cast women as inferior to their male counterparts.”

  5. As they say …”you can take the Shona savage out of the bush but you can’t take the bush out of the Shona savage”!!!! Hence the reason why 90% still live in mud huts. They never have advanced as a tribe and never will. The white folk tried but failed, they reverted back to their old destructive ways. It’s such a pity the Ndebele killing parties didn’t do a far better job during their Shona hunting expeditions all those years ago! What a pity.
