“When she was about to leave, people some started booing her showing their displeasure but she seemed unbothered as she went to her car, waving with a fist,” said the source.
The first lady has in the past few weeks, become less popular as citizens accuse her of meddling in government business affairs despite her not being a government office bearer.
Skeptics say she risks going the former First Lady, Grace Mugabe’s way if she does not tone down.
Together with President Emmerson Mnangagwa, the first family seems to be high on the list of the county’s most hated persons,as Mnangagwa is largely blamed for not reviving but rather worsening the socio-economic situation since assuming office in November 2017.
