Harare - Zimbabwe's 91-year-old President Robert Mugabe told state television that his wife Grace, a rising political star in the ruling party, is not the power behind his throne.
Mugabe, the only leader his country has known since independence from Britain in 1980, will be in the resort town of Victoria Falls on Saturday where his Zanu-PF party is planning $1m birthday celebration with thousands of supporters.
Grace, a former typist in Mugabe's office before they married, was hoisted into the top echelons of Zanu-PF last December after attacking former vice president Joice Mujuru, who was later fired by the veteran leader.
