First Lady Amai Grace Mugabe says there is no vacancy at State House and MDC-T leader Mr Morgan Tsvangirai was dreaming if he thinks that he will be the next President after the harmonised elections on July 31.

Addressing thousands of people gathered at Nzvimbo High School to attend President Mugabe’ first star rally, Amai Mugabe said the MDC-T leader was not leadership material.

“I want to repeat what I said in 2008. Ndakataura kuti kuState House hakuna vacancy. Ngazvinzwisisike izvozvo,” she said. “Tsvangirai akaenda achinyunyuta kuti VaMugabe mukadzi wenyu ati kuState House hakuna vacancy zvino nanhasi ngoma ndiyo ndiyo. Hakuna vacancy kuState House. Tichiriko full time and ndinozviva kuti imimi mune confidence nemutungamiri wenyu ndiye wamunoda kuti arambe ari muState House.”

She said leadership was not about changing women or going to holidays - in apparent reference to Mr Tsvangirai’s love life where he flirted with several women two years ago before he settled for Ms Elizabeth Macheka.

“Vamwe vanofunga kuti kana waitwa mutungamiri kuenda kuma beach kuchinjanisa vakadzi uchidya dumbu richifuta kudai. Kutonga hakusi kuenda kuholiday. Kutonga kuita zvinodikwa nevanhu uchishanda pachokwadi.”

She said President Mugabe is a hardworking leader who remained resolute on what he believed was best for the people of Zimbabwe. “Baba vedu munhu ari consistent. Zvavakataura makore apfuura nemakore ati pfuurei hazvichinje. Hakuna chinhu chakaoma sekuti nyika yese inenge ichikurwisa iwe uchiramba wakashinga chete

“Baba rambai makashinga nekuti simba ramuinaro rinobva kuna iye musiki. Saka vanorota vachiti dai Mugabe azombodai kana kuti dai ambobva ngavarote zvavo hazvisati zvave kuitika.

“Isusu vana Mai Mugabe hatisi vanhu vanochinjwa, hatichinjwe nyange dai zvinhu zvikaoma sei. Tinoramba takangomira tichidzidziswa nemi baba,” she said.
Amai Mugabe donated food assortments worth thousands of dollars to orphans and the elderly in Chiweshe.
