On the beginnings of her relationship with Robert Mugabe, Grace has said: “He came to me and started asking about my family. I looked at him as a father figure. I did not think he would at all look at me and say: ‘I like that girl’. I least expected that”

On being booed at a rally this month:  "So I have said to the president, you can also leave me in charge. You can also give me your position. Give me the job and I will do it very well because I am good. I can do a great job."
Shouting back at hecklers:  "If you have been paid to boo me, boo, go ahead. I don't care, I am powerful."
