Grace cannot always have her cake and eat it too - give Mugabe walking stick or he will fall again!

Sources told the Daily News on Sunday yesterday that so angry was Grace - whom Mugabe has said is recuperating from a minor operation in Singapore - that she had allegedly demanded the heads of all the implicated people to roll, including those of some security details.

"She was raving mad when she heard of the incident and felt that his aides and security team were negligent in this unfortunate issue,” said the source.

Such is the vicissitude of demigods; they are used to having their cake and eating it and they will get be raving mad the odd occasion when their wishes are simply impossible to meet.

As a child one quickly learns that one can either eat one’s cake of keep it to eat later but cannot have both. But when you are demigods like the Mugabes they learnt that they can demand an extravagant $ 5 million wedding, for example, but not have not suffer the curse we ordinary mortals have to suffer – paying the bill.

The Mugabes had the $1 million birthday bash for Mugabe and two weeks later has the $5 million wedding for his daughter at the time 100 children below the age of five were dying every day across the nation of preventable diseases. The nation had no funds to buy the necessary vaccines for the children but had the money to pay for Mugabe’s birthday party and wedding.

Mugabe and his cronies have continued to enjoy unparalleled luxuries at public expense. The ordinary people have been forced to give up their food, medicine, clean running water and many other basic necessities of life so the ruling elite can have their luxuries; the ruling elite just took whatever they wanted and the ordinary people really had no democratic say in the matter, period.

Grace Mugabe went on the rampage last August to crash plans within Zanu PF to have Mugabe replaced. What was clear was that the then Vice President Joice Mujuru was set to win that position at the party’s December 2014 elective congress since she had the backing of all nine out of the ten provinces. Grace’s fear was that Mujuru may use her solid party backing to force Mugabe to give up the presidency too of the grounds that at 90 years, he was too old to continue.

Grace wanted Mugabe to remain president went raving mad at the thought of Mugabe giving up the presidency; he was fit and strong to continue as far as she was concerned. So she wanted Mujuru stopped from getting the VP position and went straight for Mujuru’s the jugular vein and landed her kill.

So after carrying out a ruthless campaign to promote her husband as fit to continue as president now, three months later, she is admitting that he is not fit after all.

"As any spouse would do, she is clearly fearful that things could have turned really nasty on the day given the president's age and state of health, and is thus keen to see that this is never repeated,” the source said.

"She (Grace Mugabe) is angry because President Mugabe's staff knew very well that he has difficulty walking, especially climbing and walking down steps, but did not appear to have factored this in at the airport,” said the official.

Other than dyeing Mugabe’s hair jet black, pump him full of the Botox and all manner of drugs to keep him awake there is very little else anyone can do to stop a 90 year old walking like a 90 year old.

Grace Mugabe will have to accept that Mugabe is old and needs a walking aid if does not want me seen in public using the walking aid then she will have to accept that he will stumble and fall again. She can rant and rave all she likes but this time she will have to accept that there at times when even the demigods like her cannot have their cake and eat it too!
