GRACE MUGABE Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe has been married to his wife Grace for more than 20 years, but the last few months may well have been the most trying period of their union yet. Firstly, Grace Mugabe undermined her 93-year-old husband in July by challenging him to name his eventual successor , a task that Mugabe has demurred from.

Now, Grace Mugabe—and her dirty laundry—have been caught up in another incident that will likely create embarrassment for Zimbabwe's first family.
