Zimbabwe's First Lady is also
Lady of the many manors;
The cash-strapped Zimbabwean government is to fight a potentially
embarrassing legal case in Hong Kong over a £4 million luxury villa said
to be one of the favourite properties of the first lady, Grace Mugabe.
And the Mugabes' daughter who lived in it while a student in Hong Kong.
Asked how they could afford the expensive property in the New
Territories, the Mugabes claimed it belonged to the Zimbabwean
government and their daughter had been “borrowing it”.
[President] Mugabe has subsequently claimed the original purchase of the flat was part of a “secret government project”.
Then there's;
... the construction of about two dozen cottages for Mrs Mugabe on land she
took from white farmers about 24km west of Harare, and which formed the
basis of her orphanage.
Financed by businessman Jack Ping, who also was involved with Grace Mugabe's mining ventures;
The case [in Hong Kong] threatens to shed light on the long relationship between Ping
and Mrs Mugabe. They were jointly connected to a number of failed
platinum and gold-mining ventures in Zimbabwe several years ago,
according to documents in the country’s mines ministry.
We thought diamonds were a girl's best friend.
Everywhere, the wives of national presidents make out well.
