Earlier on we posted a story on how First Lady Grace Mugabe is being sued at the High Court. We have compiled a few tweets showing how people are responding to the issue.

We await Grace and Russell's side of the story but this looks like a scandal of huge proportions. Must be embarrassing to President Mugabe.

Just how can she afford such an expensive ring given her husband 's salary & the perennial losses from their businesses

Judge President George Chiweshe probably has this covered.

The $1.4 million for Grace Mugabe's diamond ring was paid outside the country from a CBZ account. CBZ clients are queuing for paltry amounts

And by the way, Grace's diamond ring is worth 70% of ZACC allocation as per Chinamasa's budget
