Former First Lady Grace Mugabe is reported to have pleaded with President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s new administration to proceed with the building of the USD1 billion Robert Gabriel Mugabe University. Grace who is intent on protecting Mugabe’s legacy is reported to have insisted that all streets and structures named after Mugabe should not be renamed. She also pleaded with the mediators to make sure that the new government did not reverse the proposed grants for the university. She also pleaded with the new government to let her family keep its farms, reported to be at least 10. The government has confirmed that the Mugabe family’s assets would be protected.
The Robert Gabriel Mugabe University project was proposed by Minister of Higher Education, Professor Jonathan Moyo and approved by cabinet in August 2017 and is supposed to be built in Mazowe. The Responsible Authority of the University is the Robert Gabriel Mugabe Foundation, whose Founding Trustees are former President Robert Mugabe and former First Lady, Grace Mugabe.
However, the new government has not made any decision as yet on Grace’s proposals. A source who spoke to South African publication, the Sunday Times said:
It is too early to tell whether the new government will fully agree on some of her proposals

I thought she is no longer in the top office and her husband so why pursue policies that might not be a priority in view of the starving masses. Am sure they’ve their own plans and priorities.
That is bullll shit this lady is crazy for sure,at first she must tell G40members to bring back $15Billion so that this Ruling Gorvenment may subtract $1billion for that project.and she must not tell Rulling Gorvment wht to do coz her voice is no longer needed in Zimbambwe with all people of the republic of Zimbos
Is she in her right mind or mentally ill? Who’s she to dictate what’s to be done. Game over forget it Gucci. We need the 15 billion you took to reconstruct Zimbabwe. You should be thankful you are still in the country. Achatinetsa muhure uyu. What legacy when you destroyed our beloved country? Ngaayende ku Singapore.
I think her call is in the right direction considering the fact that her husband has fought for the country. After all it’s a plea and not dictation as some want to say
Nonsense…who hasn’t fought for the country? Tongogara died for it. Mugabe ruined everything that many sons and daughters of Zimbabwe sacrificed their lives for. We want to build our country and not to deal with Gire’s
stupid demands.
1billion iyoyo can be used to revive health services, water etc. She should sit down and look after her old husband let the new president rule the country according to the people’s will. Vairega Chombo achiviga mari mumba dai mari iyoyo vaishandisa kuvaka.
Gire should know that she does not own Zimbabwe. To President Munangagwa please don’t forget chazuro ne hope. #gushungo-ice-cream
Shut up Gire….we have better things to focus on kwete that university. Gara kumba uchengete murume wako. If u really feel u want that project to go on sell all those properties abroad, get all the money u externalised and buy a piece of land just like everyone of us and then build the university and above all get a genuine PhD from that university for yoself. Taneta newe isu….Mugabe ndiye EGA ane legacy here. What about the rest of us who work so hard.???. U destroyed that legacy iwewe and u still want everybody else to rebuild it for you. Ita wega ndiwe wakauraya.
Certainly the former First Family should not make any demands on the present Government tasked with the mandate to restore the legacy of the very people they looted from. Where is their shame if at all they are truly making those requests? Their current net worth best known to themselves is well able to meet their future projects without ever touching a dime from this nation. What effect would injecting the Banks with 1 billion in cash have on the country? Would we still have any ques?
ihure for sure,she’s mean and selfish,only thinks abt her family,bitch
please the President must stop this woman Grace from huuuuuuuuting stop it dont disturbe
our president plizzz.wakaita sei usingagute
