JOHANNESBURG - Zimbabwean President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s ally has reportedly claimed that he was the one who organised young people and war veterans to heckle the then first lady Grace Mugabe during a rally in last month.

According to Newsday, the ex-war veteran minister Tshinga Dube said that the move was part of plans to clip Grace’s wings, as she had become “uncontrollable” and “lacked respect for the party elders”.

Four people have been arrested in November for booing the former first lady at a rally in Bulawayo.
