President Robert Mugabe Scheming To Make His Wife 'GRACE' His Successor.

According to an online source,President Robert Mugaba is scheming for his wife and Firstlady  Lady Grace Mugabe to succeed him,Reports have it that Grace has been a controversial figure over the years.
There are people who adore her as the Mother of the Nation, an enthusiastic philanthropist, but there are also people who called her "Dis-Grace", blaming her for untidy business involvements and alleged overseas shopping sprees.

This is what the site said ....

But the 49-year-old former presidential office secretary,the source claims has proven not to be a person to be sidelined, not even in politics, under the watch of her iconic husband, Zimbabwe's founding father Robert Mugabe since 1980.

Zimbabweans were surprised by the nomination of Grace Mugabe, who does not hold any party or government positions, to head the ruling party's women' league, a nomination that is likely to secure her a position in the powerful politburo.

Speculation on Mugabe's succession has grown wild lately as the president turns 90 and the ruling party Zanu PF is scheduled to hold a national congress to elect a new politburo this December.

The latest development adds intrigue into a party that is riddled with factionalism and may "shift the ground" of the party's succession politics, analysts say.

Even the state-controlled Sunday Mail newspaper on Sunday ran an Op-Ed hailing Grace Mugabe's transformation from village girl to "political game changer."
Current affairs analyst Tichaona Muchapera said the emergence of the First Lady is one of the most real tests for the party.

"The move signals that the First Family is now planning for a post-Mugabe era, by parachuting Grace into the top echelons of power. The family is now seeking a continuation of their stranglehold on power," he said.

He said, to those who closely follow the First Family, this does not come as a surprise since, over the years, Grace Mugabe has been trying to be her own "man" in public by handling issues to do with women without her husband.

Minister of Women's Affairs, Gender, and Community Development, Oppah Muchinguri, the current Secretary of Women's Affairs in the Zanu PF politburo, said it was time that the First Lady became active in the party structures by assuming the position.

According to the party's internal electoral regulations, a person should have served actively for at least 15 years to be considered for a position in the Central Committee, which is still a rung below the politburo.

In the week after Muchinguri made the nomination public, a number of groups and party sub-sections like the women's league and the youth league have given their support for Grace's political endeavour, leading analysts to believe the nomination is not a "trial-balloon" but a fact "as real as carved in the stone."
