Grace Mugabe (née Marufu), (born 23 July 1965),[1] is the second wife of Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe and the First Lady of Zimbabwe from her marriage to the leader in 1996.[2]
Grace was previously married to Stanley Goreraza, an air force pilot, and now working in the Zimbabwe embassy in China.[3][4] As secretary to the president, she became his mistress while still married to Goreraza and together they had two children, Bona, named for Mugabe’s mother, and Robert Peter, Jr.[5] The couple were married in an extravagant Catholic Mass, titled the “Wedding of the Century” by the Zimbabwe press, after the death of Mr. Mugabe’s first wife, Sally Hayfron.[5][6]
In 1997, Grace Mugabe gave birth to the couple’s third child, Chatunga.[7] Grace is popularly known in Zimbabwe as “Dis Grace”, a reference to her extravagant life-style while maintaining political responsibilities as first lady.[8]
