But
she faces arrest warrant in South Africa and illegal ivory probe in Zimbabwe
Grace Mugabe could now face prosecution for
crimes committed while her husband Robert was in power following his death
today aged 95.
The 55-year-old former secretary, who is known as
‘Gucci Grace’ for her fondness for luxury shopping, enjoyed a lavish lifestyle
in a desperately impoverished country.
But current president
Emmerson Mnangagwa then told the BBC in January 2018 how he had not granted
either of them immunity, although they would be ‘left in peace’.
Mr Steirn spent four months investigating wildlife trafficking
and posed as a customer for contraband ivory to infiltrate the illegal poaching
networks by Robert Mugabe and his second wife
Grace through the years
He filmed sources claiming Grace smuggled ivory poached in
national parks out of Zimbabwe by exploiting her airport security screening
exemption as First Lady.
Then in December last
year, South African prosecutors issued an arrest warrant for her for
allegedly assaulting a model in Johannesburg in 2017.
Mugabe’s decline in his last
years as president before he resigned in November 2017 after a 37-year rule was
partly linked to the political ambitions of Grace.
She was a brash and divisive
figure whose ruling party faction eventually lost out in a power struggle with
supporters of Mr Mnangagwa, who was close to the military."
Hope she goes to jail and stay there for at least the next 20 years.
