Grace Mugabe, the wife of
Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe, has reportedly fled the country for
neighboring Namibia following the crisis in the country.
Although, it's unclear how Mrs.
Mugabe was able to escape from the country.
Her husband, Robert Mugabe is
said to be under house arrest in Harare, after the Zimbabwean military took
control of the government including the national state broadcaster ZBC.
In a statement read live on state
television, Major General Gen Sibusiso Moyo said Mr. Mugabe and his family are
"safe and sound and their security is guaranteed".
Eddie Cross, an MP from the main
opposition party, Movement for Democratic Change, said he understood the First
Lady was now in Namibia.
A representative for the ruling
Zanu-PF party also said he believed she was no longer in Zimbabwe.
The ruling party also confirmed
this morning that President Robert Mugabe, who has ruled the country for over
37 years, since independence from the UK, has been removed from power and his
former vice president, Emmerson Mnangagwa, who he sacked some days back, has
been installed as an interim president.
