Grace Mugabe was this weekend seen in public for the first time in some weeks, after she went to Asia to reportedly receive treatment for a dislocated hip.<\/p>\n

She travelled to Rome on Saturday with Robert Mugabe, for the beatification ceremony for the late Pope John Paul 11 at the Vatican.<\/p>\n

It’s reported that Grace had flown back to Harare last week Wednesday from Asia. She was last seen in public on 7th April. Despite reports that she dislocated her hip in a bathtub slip, Grace showed no discomfort as she arrived in Rome together with her two sons, Robert junior and Chatunga.<\/p>\n

Mugabe’s spokesman George Charamba had previously suggested that Grace was in Singapore seeking treatment for a back injury. There were also claims that she was in the Asian country studying towards a degree.<\/p>\n

But she rarely misses out on a chance to accompany her husband on trips to Western capitals – which has earned her the title of ‘first shopper.’<\/p>\n

Mugabe is a practicing Catholic but recently he was highly critical of the Catholic church in general, accusing it of being a tool of the west.<\/p>\n

For this trip to the Vatican he controversially sidestepped a European Union travel ban, which had been imposed on him in 2002 for his massive human rights abuses.<\/p>\n

Italy was criticized for allowing him to travel through Rome and the UK press were highly critical of the fact that Mugabe had been invited to the Vatican.<\/p>\n

But it was not the first time that the 87 year old Mugabe has caused controversy by attending a Vatican function. In 2005 he attended Pope John Paul’s funeral.<\/p>\n
