While addressing thousands of Zanu PF supporters at a rally in Mberengwa this week, the First lady of Zimbabwe, Grace Mugabe, said women who wear mini skirts have no one but themselves to blame if they are raped by sexual perverts.
According to Newsday Reports in Zimbabwe, she said:
“If you walk around wearing mini skirts displaying your thighs and inviting men to drool over you, then you want to complain when you have been raped? It’s unfortunate because it will be your fault,”
She advised women to cover up by wearing long dresses or trousers.
“Wear clothes like Mai Mugabe or you can chose a trousers, but not those which are too tight. These types of clothes are the signs of moral decadence in our country,” Grace said.
The shocking statement by the First Lady caused several Africans to lash out at her on social media. See their tweets:
According to Mrs Grace Mugabe women who wear skimpy clothes are to blame if they are raped. What a DIS(GRACE). #GraceMustFall
