        She most likely beat the sons together with the girl. Any mother would do that in my view. Especially when you find them misbehaving

        Misogyny claim in South Africa is now officially non-existence. First lady Grace Mugabe has helped kill this protracted claim, period!

        Wait, why then castigate men and in particular SA Min Mduduzi if a mother n lady of Grace's calibre can afford a fellow woman with such act?
