Grace Under Fire


Grace Mugabe that is, the wife of Zimbabwe's brutal dictator Robert Mugabe. While his country continues it's downward spiral into abject poverty and lawlessness she has managed to earn the title of First Shopper of Zimbabwe.

The picture above was taken while she was on a shopping spree in Paris.

Ever the world traveler she has now run into trouble in Hong Kong.
A Sunday Times photographer has been beaten up and punched repeatedly in the face by the wife of President Robert Mugabe.

Grace Mugabe, 43, known as the First Shopper of Zimbabwe, flew into a rage when she was spotted last week leaving the exclusive Shangri-La hotel in Hong Kong. She has been staying there with her entourage while her country endures poverty, hunger and disease.
What is the exchange rate on a Zimbabwe dollar? Her checked luggage must be quite a load.

I wonder if she shares notes with Michelle Obama.
