Grace Mugabe yesterday attacked War Veterans Minister Chris Mutsvangwa calling him a “despicable” man for claiming that Higher Education Minister Professor Jonathan Moyo’s father was in fact the late nationalist, Ndabaningi Sithole.
She said this without naming him, but giving away enough for her audience at a rally in Chiweshe, Mashonaland Central to know who she was referring to. The First Lady said Mutsvangwa thought of himself as a super war veteran who is above everyone else.
During a very public verbal war with Prof Moyo over the last month, Mutsvangwa first claimed the Tsholotsho North MP was Sithole’s nephew, and later revised his story to say he was in fact Sithole’s biological son.
Grace Mugabe said: “There’s nothing as despicable as insulting people by questioning their paternity. It’s not nice at all. What if we told you that the children you think are yours aren’t really yours?”
The First Lady said there had been a push in the party to tarnish Prof Moyo’s name so much so when she spoke at the Zanu-PF headquarters last Wednesday urging leaders not to insult each other, an official newspaper had reported the next day that she had warned Prof Moyo to stop abusing fellow Zanu-PF officials on social media where he is active on Twitter (@ProfJNMoyo).
“Jonathan, were you just shouting at people without provocation? Are you mad?” Grace said, turning to Prof Moyo. “Jonathan isn’t crazy that he would just start shouting at people. Such an intelligent person can’t be crazy. He shouts at those who shout at him.
“You then begin to see who’s controlling the paper. Some journalists are taking money to write these things.”
A push to ban Zanu PF officials from using social media came to grief at the Politburo last Wednesday after Prof Moyo and other officials said it was not just social media open to abuse but “all forms of media”, including newspapers.
Prof Moyo joined Twitter on February 9 last year after being appointed Zanu-PF’s secretary for science and technology. In the 12 months, he has gained nearly 46,000 followers — a phenomenal feat. Zimbabwe’s most followed Twitter accounts took longer to rack up such numbers — David Coltart’s current 50,000 were built up since December 2008, Trevor Ncube’s 46,000 since March 2009, Kirsty Coventry’s 41,000 since July 2010 and Saviour Kasukuwere’s 38,000 since April 2010.
Introducing Prof Moyo at the rally in Chiweshe yesterday, Kasukuwere — who is Zanu-PF’s national commissar — joked: “Twitter is his job. It’s part of his role as technology minister. We’ve some people who want to stop this man from going to work.” – state media

In our culture, the only first wife is the amaiguru, dead or alive. so Sally was the first lady. Unfortunately she passed away. then the president married a second wife, who incendentary was his small house (kana kuti hure rake). I am sure she can testify that she was sleeping with the president, while the first lady was still alive and she was still married to reward. chihure chaiitika.
As they say once a hure always a hure, that is why people call you a prostitute.
So the boss married a second wife, so she remains a second wife, or a second lady. Unfortunately it is something that gire has to live with.

It’s the three shells game. She and Dzasukwa have perfected the game where the protagonists keep guessing if they are in the right basket. Jonso at the moment is as safe as a brick house. As I said before Sarah Mahoka was the advance hound dog that exposed the prey. Dr. Fugu will start naming and shaming the Lacoste faction.
