The first lady leads a rather wasteful way of life, she is known for her “round-the-world shop-tours”, because of which she began to be called Disgrace, not Grace. She, however, prefers to be called “the mother of the nation.” In one of the diplomatic dispatches for 2008, posted on WikiLeaks, the former US ambassador to Zimbabwe accuses Mugabe of collecting proceeds from corruption schemes and from diamond deposits in the east of the country where violence reigns. Grace filed a lawsuit for $ 15 million against the newspaper in Zimbabwe, which cited this dispatch.
