Grace Mugabe came to prominence while working as a secretary to the married Catholic Marxist President of Zimbabwe. Grace Guririza, a good Catholic school student, was married to Flight Lt Patrick Guririza. Mugabe was married to his first wife Sally when he and Grace commenced their love affair. Grace's husband Patrick was conveniently transferred to Beijing, from whence he never returned. Bob married Catholic Grace, 40 years his junior, with whom he already had 2 children in a ceremony attended by 40,000 of her closest friends (1996).
While Bob was a Freedom fighter, imprisoned for ten years by the Smith regime, his son died (1966 Malaria). Mugabe's request to be allowed to attend the funeral on compassionate grounds was denied, laying the foundation for his subsequent hatred towards English Authority figures. Grace very quickly produced a son for Bob, establishing the sanctity of their union.
Whilst Bob was with Sally his reputation as a socially concerned leader with a vision for a better future for all was widely held as a beacon of hope not only for Zimbabweans, but for many other Africans as well. The insane thoughts and dark deeds that have become characteristic of Mugabe's legacy appear to coincide with his union with Grace.
Grace has gone on to become much more than just the second first Mugabe lady of Zimbabwe. Her commitment to the Muntuist credo serves as a shining beacon to any wannabe Muntu seeking to live a life of gluttony and conscience free excess.
Grace earned her reputation as a fully qualified Muntuist in the 90's with her monstrous squandering of many Millions of pounds (UK) in shopping sprees at the worlds leading centers of indulgence as Zimbabwe spiraled into poverty and despair. With every indicator of economic regression flashing red - inflation - poverty - infant mortality - exports - basic food supplies - agriculture - industry - medicines - education - emigration - human rights abuses, Grace continued indulging her Billionaire lifestyle with the trappings of vulgar excess. Private planes.(Bob treated her to a plane owned by Hugh Hefner) Multiple mansions. Multiple walk in wardrobes filled with multiple designer outfits best suited to show off her traditional African build ........ well you get the idea. Self importance and megalomania taken to unimaginable levels. Totally, blissfully and deliberately unaware of anything beyond her own selfish needs.
On a scale relative to the poverty that surrounds her, Grace's achievements in Muntuism may be placed in the appropriate context. Most notably in living on over 1 Million dollars a day while many millions of other Zimbabwean women live on less than 1 dollar a day we see just how credible her claims to 'Female Muntuist of the year' really are.
For this reason alone we have no hesitation in making Grace the first recipient of 'The worlds leading female Muntuist award'. Winnie does not even come close. (Sorry Winnie but Grace has a much better qualified husband teacher in this regard.)
Every good Muntuist should plan ahead, because if Muntuism has taught us anything it is that accountability has no place in the credo. In this regard Grace once more demonstrates her natural aptitude with Muntuism. Chaing Ria, in Thailand, some 860kms North of Bangkok, a popular tourist paradise, is where Grace has completed construction of another magnificent Mugabe mansion, which, along with a significant portfolio of income generating investments in Thailand will ensure that she continues to enjoy the wealth of Zimbabwe long after her husband steals his final breath.
We at Muntism.com acknowledge and salute our first and reigning Female champion. Muntuist of the year. Lady Grace Mugabe. Catholic. Adulterer. Muntuist.
