Grace warns against ‘dirty’ money, declares war on Kaukonde

FIRST LADY Grace Mugabe has declared war on former-Zanu PF Mashonaland East provincial chairperson, Ray Kaukonde after she told party supporters on Saturday that Kaukonde is distributing money to 15 year olds ahead of the elections.

Addressing Zanu PF supporters at a rally in Murehwa, Amai Mugabe urged suffering Zimbabweans not to receive the money which she termed ‘dirty money’.

“Kaukonde is busy distributing money to some of you, please do not receive ‘dirty money’.

“Takambochiudza icho Kaukonde chine nharo tichachibhabhatidza chikapfupika kusvika chanyura,”she said confirming that she has the capacity to deal with Kaukonde.

She said the kids are unware of  the country’s history  and are likely to accept the money.

“I’m told he is targeting young kids from the age of 15, and these kids do not understand our history and are bound to receive that money,” she said.

She fired a barrage on parents who could not keep an eye on their children.

“Please take care of your kids, we do not want them to be associated with such money. At the end you will be the ones who will be crying foul,” she said.

She said that the money is meant to motivate the kids to cast their votes against the ruling party in 2018 elections.

“These little kids are being influenced to turn away from Zanu PF come 2018 and if your kids bring new cellphones home, please ask them how they got those  phones,”she said.

She added that Kaukonde should be charged and sent to prison for extortion.

“He should also be sent to prison for extortion, he is making white farmers pay huge sums of money,For what,Why should their pay? Asked Dr Amai Mugabe.

Kaukonde was sacked from Zanu PF in May this year after being deposed from his position as chairperson late last year.

He was accused along with then Vice President Joice Mujuru of plotting against President Robert Mugabe.

The former Zanu PF Mashonaland East provincial chairperson Ray Kaukonde, is believed to be one of the leading lights in the new political outfit, People First made up of former ruling party leaders.
