MASVINGO Minister of State Shuvai Mahofa says had it not been for the First Lady, Grace Mugabe, Zanu PF would have been defeated and Zimbabwe recolonized.
Mahofa was addressing the on-going Zanu PF conference in Masvingo.
“Your Excellency, takatarisana nenyaya yeZimAsset and 10 point plan that you endlessly preach about, Tokwe Mukosi has been completed. Oh what a wonderful achievement by you,” gushed Mahofa.
She added, “Cde President, I don’t want to lie to you, if it was not for the First Lady, this country would have gone. She brought back the country in 10 days. Amai nemadzimai avo vakadzosa nyika whither you like or not.”
Her comments come after Grace, who is the Zanu PF leader of Women’s League, has held a number of rallies around the country since 2013. In all her rallies, she has denounced percieved enenies of her husband including the expelled former VP Joice Mujuru.
Mahofa also said she was delighted that Zanu PF was meeting in Masvingo, adding that the oldest city has protected and nurtured the country’s traditions as symbolised by the Great Zimbabwe ruins.
“Great Zimbabwe is the name of the country and that should not be taken for granted….Cde President let me remind you in 2003 when members adopted a resolution to leave the Commonwealth as hostile Western nations intensified their onslaught on us…in 2005 was a victory built on the backdrop of the land reform,” said Mahofa.
Among the delegates at the conference is South Africa’s vice President Cyril Ramaphosa.-NewZim
