Grace Mugabe Booing Lands Four Behind Bars in Zimbabwe

Three men and a woman are facing a charge of undermining the authority of the president after they allegedly heckled Zimbabwean First Lady Grace Mugabe at a ruling party rally held in Bulawayo. The booing apparently upset President Robert Mugabe and may ultimately have played a part in the sacking of former vice president Emmerson Mnangagwa, a political decision that leaves the First Lady widely tipped to become Mugabe's deputy.
