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.

    It is beautiful amana

  2. Charles Jana says:

    These same pictures are posted online on various websites. Some of them show satelite images showing a full view of the property…minus the obvious swimming pool and the palm trees…not authentic!

  3. Haiwawo says:

    Nonsense.

  4. Dzimai Moto says:

    So the editor has also committed a punishable offence by reproducing the illegal Mugabe pictures?

  5. Bobby says:

    Dzimai Moto. Only an offence if reproduced and published from within the Zimbabwe borders.That law falls away outside of Zimbabwe or as they like to say becomes null and void.By the way, it is not his house.

    • Dzimai Moto says:

      Readers in Mugabe’s Zimbabwe will have access to the photographs which are a state secrete.

  6. dogbite swiss says:

    what,s all this old man.every one has lost it.It’s not about Tsvangirai or Baba Chatunga.It’s about us .What is it that we want? We Zimbos we want our country back from the black minority.We will choose who to lead us.Its now ZUMA, BOB and Richy. Please world leaders ,be realistic and make things work for an Ordinary Zimbabwean.

  7. Mukomana says:

    If its its not his then whose is it?????

    • Bobby says:

      The house in those pictures is not in Zimbabwe. Those pictures have been circulating the internet for a number of years claiming to be the house of a number of different presidents from around the globe.

      If you look at the ariel photographs of bobs house you will notice that he does not have a swimming pool. You can see his house on google earth on thr borrowdale brooke road.

  8. Guseni says:

    This goblin is staying in a beautiful house (if these are true pictures) while the masses are suffering, power corrupts and its high time we vote him out of power and he can go back to Malawi where he comes from.

  9. Bobby says:

    If you enlarge these pictures and look at the photographs and paintings hanging on the walls and fire place, you will notice that they are all of white people.Do you honestly think that bob would want to see these pictures of white people in his house considering how much he hates the whites !!!!!!!.

    • Isabel says:

      Bob does not hate whites as such, he hurts anyone who doesn’t support his murderous ideas and intents- black, green or white. It is strongly believed that it is a white man who saved his skin in June 2008 by funding his killing campaign with the so-called war veterans- the guy being ultimately rewarded by lucrative ranch(es) and platinum mines.

  10. Haiwawo says:

    NO. MUGABE WILL KICK THE FIRST WHITE ARSE THAT ENTERS HIS HOUSE.

  11. me myself and i says:

    are they acknowledging that IT IS the interior of his house by arresting this guy? if the pictures arent aunthetis then why the fuss??????????
