Grace Marufu Mugabe

March 18th, 2008 · No Comments

gracemugabe.jpgBefore Sally Hayfron Mugabe died, her husband had already begun a relationship with his secretary Grace Marufu. Grace was 40 years younger than Mugabe and, unlike Sally, was mercenary and materialistic. To open the way for himself, Mugabe sent Grace’s husband and son on a permanent diplomatic mission to China. Ultimately, Grace and Robert had three children, two boys and one girl. While Zimbabwe struggles under horrific inflation rates, as the life expectancy drops by decades, as the unemployment rate nears 80%, Grace Marufu Mugabe is notorious for her lavish spending sprees in Europe. Sally loved her African heritage and always dressed in traditional clothing. Grace is one of the nouveau riche, insulated in a cocoon of her own self-gratification. Could these two women possibly be more different?
