By Own Correspondent| Exiled former cabinet minister and alleged G40 kingpin Professor Jonathan Moyo has turned the tables on ally and former first lady Grace Mugabe accusing her of benefiting from President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s rule.
Moyo said that Grace should not tell the rest of the people to accept Mnangagwa and to move on simply because she is benefiting from his rule.
Mnangagwa last week chartered a private jet for Dr Mugabe from Singapore to attend her late mother’s funeral.
The former first lady was in Singapore where she had gone to seek medical treatment when her mother died.
Said Moyo in a statement:
“It is an absurd corruption of public morality, values and ethos for Mrs Mugabe to claim that Mnangagwa’s gesture to hire a fancy private plane to fly her from Singapore and to pay for her mother’s funeral constitutes a political paradigm for the country to move on.
Narcissism cannot be the basis for politics. Mrs Mugabe was indeed well within her rights to thank Mnangagwa for assisting her family at a time of need, but she had no rhyme or reason or right to turn that into a national cause.
…Does she care about how these victims of the coup have fared since that fateful November day? What does she think moving on means for these people?
Does she think it just means hearing that she has been flown in a fancy private plane by Mnangagwa who also ordered the government to foot the bill of her mother’s funeral? Is that what it is all about? Has Mrs Mugabe thought about how Mrs Munetsi and her family struggled to bury her husband?
…Does Mrs Mugabe care about all this, or she just wants everyone to move on, simply and only because she has moved on after receiving Mnangagwa’s largesse?”
