President Emmerson Mnangagwa is building a mansion in Borrowdale suburb in Harare.
Daily News reports Mnangagwa’s new home is being built on an expansive piece of land with exotic bricks and other accessories fit for a king. It is not clear how the project is being funded but government insiders claim it is bankrolled by Treasury with Mnangagwa expected to pay back the money.
Recently, MDC Member of Parliament Virginia Zengeya asked Local Government minister July Moyo in Parliament what government policy was with regards to the president using State funds to build a lavish mansion. Speaker of the National Assembly Jacob Mudenda stopped Zengeya from getting a response. Contacted for comment by Daily News yesterday, presidential spokesperson George Charamba suggested Mnangagwa is building the mansion with proceeds from his farm. Said Charamba:
Talking about what he is doing by way of investments, that’s really another ballgame altogether. And don’t behave as if the president will be in that State House until his last days on this earth,” Charamba said.
So there is a distinction between a facility which is availed to him by virtue of the fact that he is the head of State, a sitting head of State and then his investments which he does as VaMnangagwa (Mr) in his private capacity. I laughed when I saw that debate. This man, have you been to his farm?

Normally, instead of going for such multi billion dollar mammoth projects leaders take the noble route of donating such funds for development of disadvantaged people in rural and urban communities
That’s why they stay in power, heaven on earth.
