Grace Mugabe's super cars involved in an accident after trying to 'sneak them out'

Observers say Mugabe's family are stashing their prized belongings outside the country

According to Botswana Newspaper, Mmegi Online, the three cars were involved in a freak accident near Artesia on the A1 road around 10pm. The cars, Rolls Royce, Range Rover and Porsche, were badly damaged but the drivers escaped unscathed.

Reports indicate that Russell and a close relative were among people driving the cars to Johannesburg via Botswana to be serviced. This could explain the huge speculation surrounding an affidavit in which Grace Mugabe had authorised her son Russell Goreraza to drive one of the cars, the Range Rover, out.

Observers say the former First Lady and her son have been trying to avoid having the cars seized when an amnesty expires for the return of all money illegally spirited from Zimbabwe during Mugabe's long rule.

Grace's appetite for luxury and her barely-cloaked determination to take over from Mugabe made her very unpopular. She was largely blamed for Mugabe's downfall in November.
