Mugabe’s wife, Grace flees to Namibia

Wife of Zimbabwean president, Robert Mugabe, Grace Mugabe, has reportedly fled the country for neighbouring Namibia.

Her husband is under house arrest in the capital, Harare, after the Zimbabwean military took control of the government.

It is unclear how Ms Mugabe was able to make her escape but Eddie Cross, an MP from the main opposition party, Movement for Democratic Change, told Independent UK that he understood the First Lady was now in Namibia.
