By Dorrothy Moyo| Former First Lady Grace Mugabe allegedly told her farm workers that she was untouchable and no one will force her to pay their outstanding wages.

She even told them to go to President Emmerson Mnangagwa.

Workers at Grace Mugabe’s Gwina Farm in Banket quoted by the weekly Standard say Grace visited the property last week together with her husband Robert Mugabe and told the 106 employees that she was not going to pay them their terminal benefits.

Robert Mugabe’s family reportedly owns over 14 farms in the country and late last year the new Minister Of Agriculture, Perrance Shiri said he was conducting an audit of Mugabe’s farms, amid indications they are set to lose some of the properties. “Minister Shiri has ordered, through our directors, that we compile a full list of the former first family’s farms and we are already doing it,” a source in the lands department said.

Meanwhile workers at the Gwina farm confirmed meeting the Mugabes with one Sarudzai Mutema, alleging that Grace was trying to intimidate the workers instead of paying them their benefits. “The former first lady Grace came here yesterday threatening us and telling us that she is not giving as our money even if we report the matter to Mnangagwa,” she said.

The report says Grace wanted to give them rice as payment for their labour.

Grace’s lawyer, Fungal Chimwamurombe has confirmed the meeting but said the workers were raising false allegations.
