Papers filed in Zimbabwe's high court by lawyers for Shupikai Chiroodza allege that Mugabe used her fists and then her shoe in a prolonged attack that left Chiroodza's face pouring blood.
HARARE - Grace Mugabe, the wife of former Zimbabwean ruler Robert Mugabe, has been accused of attacking an employee at the family's home with a shoe in 2017, lawyers said on Tuesday.
Chiroodza was a government employee working at the Mugabes' private Blue Roof mansion in Harare when the alleged attack took place in March 2017, eight months before then president Mugabe was forced from office. "She started beating me with clenched fists shouting, 'Who do you think you are? You are milking my husband behind my back'," Chiroodza said in her court application."I was terrified. She removed her shoe and continued assaulting me with it and blood started gushing out of my forehead, mouth and nose. The assault continued for about 20 minutes."Coltart said the civil service commission had indicated it would not contest the case.
In August 2017, Grace allegedly attacked Gabrielle Engels using an electrical extension cord at an upmarket hotel in Johannesburg where the Mugabes' two sons were staying.
