What's Motivating Mrs. Mugabe?

President Robert and Grace Mugabe

Zimbabwe's president, Robert Mugabe, is 91 years old. This makes him the oldest leader in the world. It also, especially in light of the fates of neighbors Muammar Gaddafi and Saddam Hussein, makes his 49-year-old wife more than a bit concerned about her own future. Her rise from village chicken-seller to first lady suggest that Grace Mugabe has both ambition and moxie. Her nicknames, ranging from "Lady of the Revelation" to "Gucci Grace," suggest that she is a complex character. And her latest moves have people suggesting that she may be eying her husband's job. So who, exactly, is Grace Mugabe? This is a fascinating profile of her, her husband, and the country: http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/jul/15/dont-mess-with-grace-mugabe-she-could-be-next-president-zimbabwe
