Grace Mugabe is reportedly divorcing Robert Mugabe according to Zimbabwe news sites
Former First Lady of Zimbabwe, Grace Mugabe has reportedly filed for
divorce from her 93-year-old husband Robert Mugabe after he was ousted
as the President, Zimbabwe Today reports.
Grace Mugabe and Robert Mugabe have been married for 21 years. Grace
began by working as the secretary of then President Mugabe and when his
wife, the former First Lady died, she married the President and
immediately became First Lady. She remained First Lady for 21 years
until he husband was ousted last month.
Sources close to the Mugabe family confirmed that Grace Mugabe has
filed for divorce. The South African born woman has reportedly voiced
concerns over her role as the former First Lady of Zimbabwe, claiming
that it’s about time she enjoys some peaceful life. She reportedly said
she is not prepared to be ridiculed for the years ahead and that her
ostracism and her husband’s resignation as the leader of Zimbabwe have
gradually grown into a life-threatening headache.
A family source told Zimbabwe Today: "She’s been very upset ever
since Mugabe gave up to hand over power to his ousted Vice-president.
She wanted a role as a First Lady, not as a woman who acts as
subordinate. She is also not prepared to leave her luxurious lifestyle
to live in a home of captivity. She thinks that the decor is despicable
and beyond repair."
Judiciary spokesman, Lawrence Brown has confirmed divorce proceedings
were in motion and if both parties agree, they could go their separate
ways in about a month.
