First Lady Grace Marufu Mugabe Zimbabwe, 40 years President Mugabe junior and with whom he already had two children before his first wife death Sally Hayfron, in a tribal ceremony. Abandoning his previous claim of a Christian background, Mugabe justified the marriage under a traditional African law which allows him to take a junior wife.Grace Marufu Mugabe has three children: Bona, Robert Peter Jr. and Bellarmine Chatunga. As first lady, she has been the subject of much criticism for her lifestyle.
