HARARE – Outspoken MP for Norton Temba Mliswa yesterday said he was
sympathising with President Robert Mugabe because he did not deserve the
current attention and drama surrounding his family.

This comes as Mugabe, 93, has had to endure embarrassment due to the
conduct of his two sons – Robert Junior and Chatunga Bellarmine – whose
wayward behaviour led to their mother’s alleged assault of a 20-year-old
South African model found in their hotel room on Sunday night, in
Johannesburg.

Grace has been charged for the alleged assault of Gabriella Engels who
suffered multiple injuries which she said were caused by an extension cord
that was used by the first lady to strike her.

Yesterday, Mliswa said the saga surrounding Mugabe’s family had the
potential of adversely affecting the health of the 93-year-old.

“I am not a person to kick someone who is down and I am sincere about
this. But I feel for his excellency, he is a good man, despite what we are
facing from the economic point of view, despite him being in power for a
long time.

“But his excellency is also getting old and you don’t want him being
stressed. I feel for him. He doesn’t deserve this at this moment. We have
to make sure we comfort him and I am hoping that discussions going on in
South Africa are positive for his excellency,” said Mliswa.

Mliswa also said Grace needed anger management and prayers, adding that he
went through the same route on his way to be becoming “a peaceful”
citizen.

“I don’t want to celebrate her downfall because she is the first lady. I
wanna offer a solution, one, anger management and two, prayer,” Mliswa
said.

“I went through Bishop Noah Pashapa because I was very temperamental, but
he worked on it through God and I am appealing to all churches in the
country to pray for the first lady in terms of the anger that she has and
for her to be forgiven.”
