Ousted Zimbabwe president, Robert Mugabe has revealed that his wife, Grace cries daily. He explained that Grace weeps over the harassment she receives, especially over her doctorate degree.
This is the first time Mugabe would speak on the emotional torment of his wife, three months after he was forced out of office by the military.
South Africa’s News 24 reports that Mugabe gave this insight at a meeting with African Union chairperson, Moussa Faki Mahamat during a courtesy call he made to the Mugabes at their Blue Roof Harare mansion.
The former leader also told Mahamat that he doesn’t feel safe and that his pension has not been paid by President Emmerson Mnangagwa. He said, “They told you I was safe, but how can I be in this environment? “My wife is crying daily.
They are persecuting her… What am I without my wife and family? We are not safe.” Mugabe said his wife was being harassed over her PhD from the University of Zimbabwe. Last week UZ Vice Chancellor Levi Nyagura was arrested for alleged abuse of office for awarding her the degree in 2014.
Mugabe to meet Mnangagwa
Zimbabwean President Emmerson Mnangagwa has requested a meeting with his former boss‚ Robert Mugabe.
The two former allies are set to meet for the first time since Mnangagwa ascended to power through military assistance.
Mugabe said this to close family and friends at his private residence‚ “Blue Roof”‚ in Harare at his 94th birthday celebrations.
“He requested for a meeting and promised to bring along other leaders (from Zanu PF) so that we could talk‚” Mugabe said.
He added that he would not hold back because Mnangagwa and the military had acted illegally and lied to the people.
