JOIN Zimbabwe Vigil protest about Grace Mugabe on Tuesday 5th September from 11 am to 1 pm outside the Zimbabwe Embassy in London
The Zimbabwe Vigil is holding a protest about Grace Mugabe’s misdemeanours on Tuesday 5th September from 11 am to 1 pm outside the Zimbabwe Embassy in London. Please come and support and bring your own posters and messages for Grace. We will also try to give the Zimbabwe Ambassador a letter to pass on to Grace. Below an outline of some of the reasons why Grace has shamed Zimbabweans – plenty of scope for good posters!
Grace Mugabe’s violent and lawless behaviour has shamed and disgusted Zimbabweans worldwide. We list some international incidents in which she behaved disgracefully and embarrassed he country:
Hong Kong 2009: British photographer Richard Jones was beaten and punched repeatedly by Grace Mugabe while trying to photograph her in Hong Kong.
A Sunday Times (UK) correspondent, Michael Sheridan, who witnessed the event said Mugabe had instructed her bodyguard to attack Jones. “The bodyguard grabbed Mr Jones, wrestled with him . . . . then held him while Mrs Mugabe struck him in the face repeatedly.” “She was completely deranged, absolutely raging with anger,” Jones added. He suffered cuts and bruises said to have been caused by the “diamond rings on her fingers”.
Malaysia 2009: GM assaulted airport staff at Kuala Lumpur airport when required to go through a check-in process, grabbing a member of security staff by the collar and bellowing that she was the wife of a President and could do whatever the hell she wanted to whenever she wanted to.Members of the Mugabe entourage had to plead with Malaysian authorities to stop her being arrested
Dubai September 2016: once again Grace Mugabe assaulted a journalist.
Singapore August 2017: she assaulted reporters and threw their cellphones into a pond and was made to reimburse them before being released. She paid money to reporters in Singapore to try to prevent the incident making front-page headlines. When it did, a member of Mugabe’s close protection unit was accused of leaking information and tortured and beaten.
The Reuters offices were stormed in Harare by police and state security agents after a leak to their office was shared with Reuters in Singapore. Journalists at Reuters Zimbabwe were promised “severe consequences should any further leaks lead back to them”.
Johannesburg August 2017: Grace assaulted Johannesburg model Gabriella Engels with an extension cord at a Sandton hotel. Ms Engels’ head was cut open in three place. Her sons and security watched without intervening.
Other misdemeanours that have embarrassed and shamed Zimbabweans:
Heartless eviction of occupants of Arnold farm, Mazowe. Police claiming to act on behalf of Grace Mugabe demolished homes, destroyed property and beat up those who resisted.
Efforts to establish a Mugabe dynasty including telling people to vote for Mugabe’s corpse if necessary
Fraudulently acquiring academic qualifications – a 2 month doctorate from the University of Zimbabwe.
The drug and alcohol-fuelled antics of your out-of-control children.
