Bob’s hookup and first kiss with Grace reads like a movie

New Zimbabwe has published what it says is how former president Robert Mugabe recounted as how he hooked up with his wife Grace.

Robert and Grace Mugabe on their wedding day in 1996

And it reads like a movie. He was quoted as saying as below at the funeral of his mother-in-law recently:

Yes, we got involved when Sally was still alive, I had to. Grace and I never dated either, I was just introduced to her and I said to myself she is a beautiful girl.

So she came as a secretary and they were many of them, I just looked at them and then it was love at first sight with Grace. Then I said to her one day, I love you and she didn’t respond. I then grabbed her hand and I kissed her. She didn’t protest or refuse and then I said to myself now that she has accepted to be kissed, it means she loves me.

Like old school. Then the kiss acceptance. It’s like watching Notting Hill or one of those movies.

The soundtrack in the background? Probably not Chitekete because that became popular as as wedding song.

We will go with Robert’s favourite artist, Cliff Richard. The song would be the one he did with the shadows, When the girl in your arms is the girl in your heart:
