Former President Mugabe died in 2019 at the age of 95, two years after being forced to resign after 37 years from the southern African nation.

He led the battle in the seventies of the last century against the base of white intelligence of what was called Rodisia – but was later accused of using violence to win the elections and destroy the Zimbabwe economy.

Mugabe SR has been replaced by its former right leg with Emmerson Mnangagwa.

The relations between Mnangagwa and the Mugabe family were reserved after accusing the current president of betrayal of Zimbabwe’s leader for a long time.

Grace was sheltering aspirations for her husband, but she was marginalized by Manangjoa’s supporters.

However, Mr. Mugabe Junior has since been reconciled with Mnangagwa, and he attended a gathering in 2022 when he was publicly welcomed in the ruling Zanu-PF party.
