Terrence Mawawa|Presidential spokesperson George Charamba has claimed Emmerson Mnangagwa is building a mansion in Harare’ s leafy suburb of Borrowdale using his personal resources.

Mnangagwa is building a mansion in Borrowdale suburb in Harare.

According to The Daily News Mnangagwa’s new home is being built on an expansive piece of land with exotic bricks and other accessories fit for a king.

It is not clear how the project is being funded but government insiders claim it is bankrolled by Treasury with Mnangagwa expected to pay back the money.

Recently, MDC Member of Parliament Virginia Zengeya asked Local Government minister July Moyo in Parliament what government policy was with regards to the President using State funds to
build a lavish mansion.

Presidential spokesperson George Charamba has said Mnangagwa is
building the mansion with proceeds from his farm.

Said Charamba:”Talking about what he is doing by way of investments, that’s really another ballgame altogether. And don’t behave as if the President will be in that State House until his last days on this earth.”

“So there is a distinction between a
facility which is availed to him by virtue of the fact that he is the head of State, a sitting head of State and then his investments which he does as VaMnangagwa (Mr) in his private
capacity. I laughed when I saw that
debate. This man, have you been to his farm?”
