I Feared Mugabe Used Juju When I First Dated Him Says Grace

FORMER First Lady Grace Mugabe yesterday said the first thing she searched for in the late President Robert Mugabe’s bedroom was evidence of juju after wide speculation that the long-serving ruler depended on powers from the occult.

Grace, who married the late Mugabe in 1996 after the death of his first wife Sally, told representatives of several charitable organisations gathered at her Mazowe Children’s Home, that before she fell in love with him she would hear stories that he used lion fat.

“I used also to travel using public transport and people would say Mugabe uses juju,” she said.

“People said he uses mafuta eshumba (lion fat), but I realised he has a shiny skin and when I first went into his bedroom, I was afraid and searched and looked under the bed and all over, but he had only his rosary and I thanked God that he had given me a Christian husband.”

Grace was distributing donations raised from her lavish 50th birthday celebrations held in Harare last Saturday. Mugabe and Grace’s marriage raised eyebrows given their age difference.

At the Mazowe function, Grace described Prophetic Healing and Deliverance Ministries founder Walter Magaya as a popular prophet.

Mashonaland Central Provincial Affairs minister Martin Dinha took bootlicking to a higher level after he promised to sire a child and name her after the First Lady. He revealed that he had pictures of the First Family posted all over his matrimonial home in their honour.

“Ladies and gentlemen, I am not fit to untie her shoes or stand to introduce her,” Dinha said. He said the opportunity to introduce the First Lady came a few times in a lifetime.

“Like her, vilify her, but you can’t take the beauty of a fresh bouquet of roses,” Dinha said. “The post-independence history of Zimbabwe will never be complete without the mention of the First Lady.” Dinha made it clear that he had run out of superlatives to describe her.

DUI License Suspension: Can A Lawyer Help You Keep Driving?

One of the biggest concerns after a DUI arrest is losing your license. A DUI license suspension can make it difficult to work, take children to school, attend appointments, and handle daily life.

rnrn

In many states, license suspension can happen through an administrative process separate from criminal court. You may have a short deadline to request a hearing. If you miss it, your license may be automatically suspended.

rnrn

A DUI lawyer can help with the license hearing and argue against suspension when possible. They may challenge the legality of the stop, the testing process, or whether proper procedures were followed.

rnrn

If suspension cannot be avoided, a lawyer may help you seek a restricted license, hardship license, or ignition interlock option depending on state law.

rnrn

Driving during a suspension can create more legal problems, including additional charges and longer penalties. It is important to understand your options before driving.

rnrn

A DUI does not always mean you are out of options. Acting quickly after arrest gives you the best chance of protecting your driving privileges.
