Police deputy commissioner general and close relative of
president Robert Mugabe Innocent Matibiri is being blamed for failing to
protect the dictator as details emerge of the embarrassing altercation in which
the president was beaten up by his wife Grace Mugabe.
Footage of the incident shows Grace
Mugabe slapping her husband in a fit of rage. Matibiri, Mugabe’s chief police
guard, rushes in and tries to calm the situation, telling Grace Mugabe that if
she wants to fight her husband she must do it in their bedroom, not in public.
Grace Mugabe slaps Matibiri hard in
the face and he withdraws in shame, leaving Mugabe to face further abuse from
his wife, who is 40 years younger than the 92 year-old despot now afflicted
with poor health.
The beating left Mugabe and his aides
shell-shocked. Mugabe has previously complained of abuse from his wife, who
harbours presidential ambitions and has declared: “Who has more right than me
to be president?”
The failure by Mugabe’s guards to
restrain his violent wife has left the president exposed and allowed Grace
Mugabe to institute a reign of terror within Zanu PF where her entry as the
women’s league chairperson has sparked chaos amid allegations of sex scandals.
Grace Mugabe has declared that she
will not follow protocol because she is ‘superior’ to all of Mugabe’s aides by
virtue of being “their boss’s wife”.
