First Lady Grace Mugabe reportedly donated used underwear and night dress at a Zanu-PF meeting in Mutare on Sunday. Zanu-PF legislator for Dangamvura Esau Mupfumi made the donation on the first lady’s behalf and told the members:
Recently, I visited the State House and I met the First Lady Grace Mugabe and I was given these clothes so that I can give you.
I have briefs for you and I am told that most of your briefs are not in good shape, please come and collect your allocations today. We have night dresses, sandals and clothes, come and take, this is from your First Lady Grace Mugabe
However, some people did not appreciate this gesture of apparent generosity saying they would rather be empowered to fend for themselves than to become charity cases. A man who spoke to Newsday said:
There are issues which need to be addressed rather than giving us briefs, we do not have jobs and why is she doing this.
