Emmerson Mnangagwa yesterday said his party, ZANU-PF, was determined to transfer title deeds of the imposing Blue Roof mansion in Borrowdale and a Mount Pleasant property to the late former President Robert Mugabe’s family.

ZANU-PF secretary for Administration Dr Obert Mpofu said Mnangagwa had informed him that the ruling party will transfer title deeds of the two properties in the near future, to the late national hero’s family.

The clarification came as Dr Mpofu had been quoted in the media insinuating that the ruling party was considering converting the two properties into museums and derive benefits for the party.

Dr Mpofu set the record straight.
“I was in a meeting with President Mnangagwa today (yesterday), who advised me that the party will transfer title deeds of the two properties to the family as promised.

“Nothing has changed on the party’s commitment to transfer the two properties,” said Dr Mpofu.

Mugabe, who died on September 6 in Singapore, was declared a national hero by ZANU-PF, but his family indicated that he wished to be buried in Kutama, Zvimba, in Mashonaland West Province. – State media
