Robert Mugabe

While the poor people of Zimbabwe fight for a days meal, this is how the President of Zimbabwe, Robert Mugabe lives.

  • Arab artists spent a year decorating the ceilings
  • 3 acres of accommodation
  • Estimated 26 million USD to build
  • 25 en-suite bathrooms
  • Neighbours in Borrowdale, Harare, have been told to sell up and leave to protect Mugabe’s security
  • China has donated the glazed blue tiles that cover the roof.
  • Malaysia has donated the timber
  • there are underground rooms reinforced with concrete
  • It is 3 times the size of the State House.
  • has 44 acres of landscaped grounds
  • A Serbian construction company built it – Energoproject – to a Chinese design. Mugabe said in interview that the Serbian company donated their material and labour
  • 50 crack riot response police guard it on a 24 hour watch

    He was once lost but now he is found!!

    I too believe tat Mugabe is "becoming" heroic!! He i 1 of the "few" Afrikkan leaders who has taken the stance and the opposition to "white rule" and power! He has baulked at both the former Bush Administration, as well as the Queen! He is no l,onger allowing himself to be a "complete" puppet and syncophant unlike several before him and his current peers!

    These pics along with this story is an attempt at "character asassination, a viscious weapon use by white authority when they want you ousted!!

    Ask Mr. Marion Barry, former mayor of washington, D.C.; to let them tell it, Barry is the reason for a 25% unemployment rate AMONG BLACKS in a 62% BLACK DC, Barry is the reason for closing schools, UNDERFUNDED AND AN ANTIQUATED SCHOOL SYTEM (Bush's NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND), AIDS, ILLITERACY, HOMERULE (taxation without representation), CONTROL BOARD, ROGUE CITY CONTRACTORS AND GENTRIFICATION just to name a few!!

    Welcome aboard Mr. Mugabe, when you switch teams someone always NOTICES (good ad bad)!!!!

    To all the idiots leaving comments.
    It is the white man who is responsible for this mess.
    He succeeded so well in mentally destroying the African, that the African is now gone crazy and is too easy to manipulate like clay.
    The white man is a cunning devil, when he leaves an african country, he knows that he has created a situation where he can pull strings from the shadows to his benefit.
    He wants to plunder and steal Africas resources. He wants all of it for free. So all he needs to do is to get a mentally malleable African and put him in power. This way the country is in civil war/confusion/debt etc etc. The white man slowly walks in and takes all the resources out for free. Ofcourse the white man controls the global media also, so he will be careful how he paints the picture.
    Any real African who genuinely wants to take care of his people wont be allowed to come to power. And if he does come to power he will be removed. The west still rules the entire continent and will make sure this happens. The old Congolese leader Patrice Lumumba is a perfect example of this. He wanted to use the Congo for the benefit of his own people. The west would not have it, so they got him assasinated and turned the land into warzone. So they walk in free to log the timber, mine all the diamonds and walk back to Europe laughing. Africa gets sucked dry by the western parasite. This same parasite then makes the mainstream media and talks about how such corrupt African leaders are ruining the continent (all of whom are ofcurse their little puppets).

  • zimbo from zim
    I can't blyv this world is so full of dumb-asses...who ever says Mugabe is a hero should be tied to the upper most branch of a mopane tree with his nuts....Mugabe has plandered,raped,killed,stolen,kidnaped(remember Jestina Mukoko) and done all that Hitler did (gukurahundi)and more & some people still lick his black ass as if its made of sugar...ask Jonathan Moyo the man is an ass & you can't change him...even though that house is not his (i mean no one in their ryt mind could ever be brave enough to take detailed photos of vthe devils lair and hope to see the sun rise the next morning) but i tell you if you want to see that the man is an inconsiderate dick head go to his rural home and you'll that the whole road up to his place is well paved but just a few meters after his turn off point there is a small gridge with huge craters...when the rest of Zim is driving in zig zaks trying to avoid port holes he is travelling all the way kwaZvimba in comfort...fuck Mugabe,fuck Zanu and fuck all yo who support that stupid motherfucker....

    Obviously The house of stones (Zimbabwe) has a long way to go, infact nearly the whole of Africa is still to endure more suffering for its brown people. Burnt by the unforgiving African sun let alone monkeys drunk on power and wealth. I bet most of you people posting comments here if given the opportunity you would probably have even bigger mantions. I don't support this but its just a reflection of your nature and imagination. Africa is still in the dark ages and its practically impossible for us to bridge the gap without slitting each others throats. As much as some of you lot beleive you have benefited academically improving your cognitive abilities our humanity is very primitive no wonder some of these people in the west think we're monkeys and shit. What man would shit on his doorstep and laugh at his feet for squashing it. Thats the behavior reflected in all your thinking. Just because you support Mugabes causes don't mean you're not brain washed. Mugabe has a point but has gone beyond any reason to justify the peoples suffering. Your childrens suffering and their children too. You can call yourself a nigger from PE, Educated,unbrain-washed but the fact remains you are as primitive as your ancestors. I am black and Zimbabwean I will play my part in the evolution of the African being but glad that my children will be spared this (baboonish)chikudo behavior. Untill we learn to argue our opions without shooting/murdering each other we are in this for a time. Don't be so selfish life belongs to your children, their children and all generations to come. No doudt future African generations will look back and laugh at your very twilight efforts(a bit dim)just like they used to drawn alleged witches in the dark ages.

    Why cant he have good things,whats wrong with you people,you have no respect thats why you have no dignity and pride of your president,i respect him ,to me he is an inspiration and i always thank God that he has kept him,we need him you need him ,ZANU PF is for you
  • louise
    zimbabwe used to be so beautiful and safe, much like south africa.
    why cant black and white live together in peace. Why did god make people differ in colour? why does mugabe hate whites so much, we can be quite nice if you get to know us. yes im white and priveleged and niaeve perhaps but i recon black people have qualities that whites dont have and vise versa. in a country where blacks and whites live together and work together treated as equals. i believe a formidable country with education and food galore would be created. just imagine zimbabwe with a balanced black and white parliament, if has to be let there be two presidents. bloody hell solve your problems, black and white children are dying.

    The ignorance being shown here is shocking.
    You are all idiots if you believe this.
    SWITCH OFF CNN AND BBC and go read a book.
    Slaves of western media...

    Mugabe is the greatest african leader of our time.

    MUGABE IS DOING WHAT MANDELA FAILED TO DO:

    EMPOWER THE BLACK MAJORITY.

    the images above are not the mugabe mansion. the mugabi 'palace' has a solid gold rooftop. i saw the picture in wikipedia on mugabe. all images of the mugabi residence in china were removed less that a week after obama was in office.

    about a year ago i began hearing about sen.obama more often than any other senator, that, and too, i have this knack for spotting good/evil. i was spooked enough to do some delving. i learned of wright before it was aired. the shock that he was running for president made my skin crawl, i began going deep as possible. I had uncovered obama's mentor frank marshal davis (leader of the communist party in hawaii).........there's so much more to obama than what we hear on television,.......too many things to tell, I read that he smoked cig's. when i first took an interest in this man. while i was looking into ruthless and corrupt govornment's, I came to a screeching halt at the mugabe's genocide on zimbabwa/rawanda. and bingo!....obama's (dead on ball's) agenda for this country. look up migabe rise to power.. (to the young girl who has been misinformed): no one should live that extravegant when there are starving children in the world, especially when it is your own country and double expecially he is the one who caused the destruction, the economical ruin, which caused famine...desease/etc.......he gave china 250 billion belonging to the people of zimbabwa.

    obama lies to us about his motive's and his agenda. He wants to destroy our engine of productivity. if you want to track his moves, read all about mugabe.

    i have a bad feeling about tsvengerai too. i don't know enough about him yet, but he is close friend's with mugabe.

    we all need to get more educated. we elected a person who hate's us to be in charge of us? we will ALL find out very soon just how much he can't stand g.d. america. we ALL need to come together and save oUr country from genocide.
  • you wish
