Man arrested for emailing photographs of the interior of Robert Mugabe’s mansion
HARARE – A 65-year-old man was arrested in Zimbabwe on Tuesday for emailing colleagues photographs of what appears to be the interior of Robert Mugabe’s mansion.
Editors Note: These pictures have not been proven or substantiated
Reports said the executive was charged in a case that shows just how dangerous it is to criticise the 86-year-old leader.
It is no secret that the president built himself a huge mansion on the outskirts of Harare. But very few people know what it looks like on the inside.
Now a senior Harare executive from Freshpro Company is being accused of circulating an email showing pictures of the mansion’s interior. State media reported that John Rushdin said Mugabe was living like an “American billionaire or a Saudi prince”. That is not a great thing to say in Zimbabwe where criticising the president can land you in jail.
Rushdin has already appeared before a magistrate and been given bail of 200 Zimbabwean dollars. What everyone wants to know and what the state’s not saying yet is, was that really Mugabe’s house in the pictures?
These Pictures are not proven. They have appeared elsewhere on the internet.
