RobertMugabe’s nephew, Leo Mugabe, confirmed that the former president did not own the house, and said it was in fact owned and registered to a company linked to Zanu-PF.

Harare - Former Zimbabwe president Robert Mugabe does not own his mansion known as the “Blue Roof”, his nephew said on Sunday. Mugabe’s body is being kept in the same house after an official state funeral service - without a burial - was held at the National Sports Stadium in Harare on Saturday. Mugabe spent most of his life as president in the multi-storey 25-bedroom mansion, which was reportedly built by the Serbian company, Energo- project.

This came after days of conflict between the family and the government about where Mugabe would be buried. The family had wished for him to be buried in his hometown. “It’s so funny that the party is the one that bought him the land where Blue Roof is. It leaves president Mugabe without a house in Harare,” said Leo candidly.

But Simon Khaya Moyo, a spokesperson for the governing Zanu-PF pleaded ignorance when asked about the house. He said he did not know who owned the Blue Roof.
