First Lady

The Resume

    (July 23, 1965- )
    Born in South Africa
    Current wife of Zimbabwean president Robert Mugabe
    Formerly married to Stanley Goreraza, an air force pilot and the current Zimbabwean ambassador to China
    First lady of Zimbabwe (1996- )
    Full name is Grace Marufu Mugabe

Why she might be annoying:

    She is a shopaholic that constantly shops around while most Zimbabweans remain flat broke.
    She had two children with her second husband prior to their marriage.
    Her second wedding to Robert Mugabe in an extravagant Roman Catholic Mass was called the ‘Wedding of the Century’ by Zimbabwean media.
    She was nicknamed ‘Dis Grace,' ‘The First Shopper' and ‘Gucci Grace’ by Zimbabweans due to her extravagant lifestyle.
    Her fine living, along with her husband’s dictatorial style of ruling, eventually resulted in economic embargos on Zimbabwe by the European Union, so the country had to get help from China instead.
    She built two controversial estates; the first was funded by her personal savings and the second one was funded by money gained from her husband’s human rights abuses.
    She had illegal dealings with Nestle.
    She attacked a photographer named Richard Jones during a visit to Hong Kong (January 18, 2009), which resulted in the Chinese government giving her immunity from prosecution.
    Her daughter Bona may have been a student in Hong Kong, though this has yet to be confirmed.
    She acts like a rabid or mangy version of Uzbek businesswoman Gulnora Karimova, the daughter of Uzbek president Islam Karimov.

Why she might not be annoying:

    Former South African president Nelson Mandela attended her wedding.
    She may be related to former South African president Thabo Mbeki.
