In 2014 the controversial war veteran Gokomere High school for $63.000 for turning away his son after he failed to pay his school fees.
But for the last few months the war vet had shifted his goal post and started attacking the Firsts Lady Grace Mugabe in public which led to his expulsion from the Zimbabwe National Liberation War Veterans Association executive by Mandi Chimene.
He was accused of belittling the First Lady calling her a ‘step mother’ and a ‘young girl’.
“She must ship out and go home and cook for her husband instead of meddling in the affairs of the country.
“We had President Robert Mugabe’s first wife, Sally, who was down to earth and died like that, why is she challenging the powers of our President in public,” he said then.
