Grace Mugabe Statement After SA Assault Saga🔊: 'Respect Women'

In her first public statement since she left South Africa following allegations that she assaulted a young model at a Johannesburg hotel., Zimbabwean First Lady Grace Mugabe has reportedly urged young men to treat women with respect, especially as rape cases remained high in the southern African country.

She said, "You are not just respecting your mother alone, but other women as well. When you see a woman anywhere, you should think about your mother, sister or your wife."

The statement obviously conflicts with her actions when she assaulted the young South African model Gabriella Engels on August 13.

In the same statement, she said that she "turned to God for wisdom" as her two sons (also studying in SA) were giving her "sleepless nights" after they were kicked out of an apartment block over "unacceptable behaviour" & and doing drugs. She blamed their behaviour on demons saying "Nowadays there are spirits attacking our children.

The spirit of drinking, drug abuse and doing other abnormal things way beyond their age... does not matter if they are the president's children or not. All children are mischievous these days."
