All is set for the First Lady Grace Mugabe’s eighth rally at AmaZulu Sports Club in Bulawayo today. Zanu-PF chairperson for Bulawayo, Professor Callistus Ndlovu, yesterday said the province was ready for the big rally expected to attract thousands of Bulawayo residents.
“Everything is in place and we’re just waiting for the big day. I’m calling upon all Bulawayo residents and people from surrounding areas to come in their numbers to meet the First Lady,” said Prof Ndlovu.

Zanu-PF Politburo member Dr Sikhanyiso Ndlovu said he was happy with the preparations and urged residents to come in their numbers to meet Cde Mugabe.

“We had come to inspect the venue and check on preparations and I must say we’re happy because everything is in place. We’re therefore urging all citizens to come in their numbers to meet Umama,” said Dr Ndlovu.

Yesterday Cde Mugabe who has been nominated Women’s League secretary, addressed yet another successful rally at Somhlolo Stadium in Lupane.

She has since addressed The Meet the People rallies in Chinhoyi, Mutare, Gweru, Gwanda, Harare, Masvingo, Lupane and Mutare.

At all her gatherings, the First Lady’s message has been centred on unity, development and family building.

All the 10 provinces have welcomed Cde Mugabe’s ascendancy to the Women’s League top post.

The First Lady in her refreshingly candid addresses has blasted some local authorities for demolishing houses before providing alternative accommodation to affected residents.

She has also castigated police brutality on women vendors that she says are struggling to fend for their families.
