Queen mother, sent by God?

Grace also declared herself to be some sort of messiah, placed in the midst of mere mortals to put an end to Zanu (PF) infighting. “God sent me for a purpose. To end these machinations and factional fights,” she said.

Mrs Mugabe criticised vote buying. And soon after she gave out bags of grain. When the first lady gives out free maize, it is an act of philanthropy and not vote buying.

Oppah Muchinguri, who is said to have once been in a public catfight with Grace, has emerged as the first lady’s praise singer. At the Masvingo rally, Oppah made a royalty reference – ‘Queen Mother’ – as is the now the norm in Zanu (PF). In addition to sinking to a new low in bootlicking Muchinguri, who recently threw that ‘husband burner’ barb, once again made snide remarks that seemed to have been aimed at VP Joice Mujuru.

“There were some people eyeing the presidency. We outwitted them. We decided to bring in the Queen Mother, so that she could lead us, thereby blocking those that had leadership aspirations.”

Muchinguri seemed rather pleased with her handiwork, referring to the grand scheme as ‘tingoringo,’ a word which is as made-up as it is meaningless.

In attendance was the schemer-in-chief, Emmerson Mnangagwa. The justice minister is widely believed to be the man behind the plot to usurp the presidency from Mujuru, who until now appeared to be frontrunner. If pushing Grace into the political limelight is intended to block Mujuru, it is still not clear how Mnangagwa will achieve his own presidential ambitions.

Perhaps it is a case of ‘if I can’t have the top office, then neither will Mujuru.’ While the takeover plot may still be murky, what is clear is that the smear campaign against Mujuru indicates the extent to which the Mnangagwa camp is intimidated by her.

      much as I don’t support Grace , her team, Zanu-Pf etc the word ‘Queen Mother’ is not British. Its a generic term.

        You are correct, but where is the Queen?

        As in ‘Queen of Sheba’. I’m sure Rotten Row had a lady of the night called this.

        ‘Queen Mother’ might be generic,
        but the mere mention of the word
        Queen when referring to that fraud
        “dis-Grace”, is misplaced.

        ‘Queen’ indicated royalty, where the
        Mugabe’s are far from royal.

        The ‘Mother’ refers to caring for
        ones “children”, which this greedy,
        filthy, useless person does not!

        Generic or not, this wh*rish pice
        of garbage is no “Queen or Mother”.

    If it wasn’t so sad for the ordinary Zimbo one could cry with laughter at the unfolding saga. This just gets better and better.

    Queen Mother would be the mother to a Queen. In this case Bona would be the queen .Right? So why all these meaningless titles for a woman whose only claim to a status is by virtue of marriage to an old Dictator?

    The more the stupid titles people bestow on her the bigger her head swells with self importance. She is as unstable as a lunatic and seriously believes that she is all these things.

    She is so deluded she has even started to see herself as
    a Godsend AS IF ALL OF US ARE HERE AT THE DEVIL’S BEHEST.

    She already thinks she is on a mission to save us -like JESUS
    She will be expecting us all to kneel and bow and worship her in gratitude.

    I for one think she is as dense as smoke and deserves no such reverence as she is getting from the idiots following her around the nation like flies to a turd.

      I think you quite missed the sarcastic effect of the article, the author only gives Grace the title in jest,therefore it does not have to be technically appropriate

    Rubbish with all the idea of Mrs Mugabe as queen or send from God for what ever purpose. If she has forgotten characteristics of women send from God for a purpose she should read the bible and stop all this nonsense. Easther married King Ahasurus and saved the jewish from total destruction by a craft man called Haman. Ruth rescued Naomi from total oblivion by marrying Boaz. Elizaberth bore John the baptist, who Jesus referred to as the greatest man on earth of all men born by women. Mary bore Jesus the Saviour. Put simple Godly women do not snatch people’s husbands, they do not take over farms and leave poor people helpless. They do not threaten to spill blood. They do not ask their husbands to be heartless towards opposition. The ones aI know to do so are evil ladies. Ahab married an evil woman called Jezebel, and she caused Ahab to spill the blood of Naboth, because Ahab wanted to take over the land of Naboth. Heroditus spilled the blood of John the baptist after John cautioned Herod not to take her since she was a wife of Philip Herod’s brother. There is a famous harlot in the bible called Jezebel in Revelation, drunk with the blood of saint, she is filth rich, thus the trait of Grace. The trait of her does not point to godly woman as she tries to tell. As a Roman Catholic, she should be aware of these saintly woman. But her moves does not even have a trait of any but evil women.

    For goodness sake look at what you are dealing with! Idi Amin was a self appointed “field marshall” and then became “the king of Scotland” nog al! Then the generals and others in Africa all loading them selves with glorious titles and now we have our very own “Queen Mother” and she also is a “doctor” which we all know is a joke.Then zanu pf alligned Muagabe with God when it became “blasphemy” to say anything bad about him and to the extent where he said the he was “better than Jesus Christ”. Very very stupid thing to say.
    This whole fasade is like a kindergarten class out to play mummy and daddy, cops and robbers, knights of the round table,and oh boy do we have a bunch of shallow brain dead infants running this show!!
    Quite embarrasing for normal citizens.

    “…DOWNPRESSOR MAN, WHERE YOU GONNA RUN TO????…” (Peter Tosh)
    I have said it before and I will say it again. For these Shona gukurahundis, no amount of revenge will ever quench their thirst for Matebeleland blood in revenge for the alleged tribal wars of the 1800s. Theirs is permanent revenge, for ever and ever Amen. The only way to bring this tribalism against the people of Matebeleland to an end is to target Bona, Robert jnr and Chatunga. If as children of our forefathers, we are being daily punished for the alleged sins of our forefathers; equally so, why should these gukurahundi Mugabe children escape punishment for the gukurahundi sins of their parents, I ask??? No amount of pleadings, talk writing of acres and acres of articles complaining will ever solve this problem. It is time for an eye for an eye – their children are the easiest target. I urge the MLF and other groupings in Mthwakazi to also seriously consider this. Enough is enough. Rise Mthwakazi rise – take action. You have nothing to lose but your chains!!
