Zimbabwe's first lady Grace Mugabe last week described Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai as "probably" the ugliest Zimbabwean man.
Grace said the first time President Robert Mugabe, her husband met Tsvangirai, he came home trembling, as he had never seen an uglier man.
But Tsvangirai also hit back at a separate rally saying Mugabe's age, at 89, had become a national security risk, as the campaign trail took a humorous turn.
"He (Tsvangirai) is ugly both facially and in his heart," Grace told a rally in Nzvimbo, Chiweshe. "When Baba (Mugabe) first met him physically, he came home trembling and I asked him what the problem was, to which he (Mugabe) said he had never seen someone that ugly."
The First Lady said if Tsvangirai looked at himself in the mirror, he would think he was looking at a monster.
Grace described the Prime Minister as a philanderer who spent time on exotic beaches, while her husband was consistent in messages of empowering people.
Speaking at a Zanu-PF rally at White City stadium in Bulawayo, Grace also asked the country to pray for MDC-T leader Morgan Tsvangirai 'who has resorted to saying unfortunate statements.'
She said Tsvangirai is one of our own and is aware that he is going to lose the election that is why he is saying all sorts of utterances.
