Shameful! I wonder if they have a spare bedroom for visiting Zimbabwean citizens.

ZIMBABWE’S President Robert Mugabe and his wife Grace have secretly bought a
£4m bolt-hole in the Far East while his country struggles with
hyper-inflation, mass unemployment and a cholera epidemic.

The Mugabes’ house, in an exclusive residential complex in Hong Kong, was
purchased on their behalf by a middleman through a shadowy company whose
registered office is in a run-down tenement block. When a reporter and a
photographer called at the house last week, they were attacked by the
Zimbabwean occupants. The assailants were questioned by the police.

The property came to light during a Sunday Times investigation into the
Mugabes’ financial interests in Asia, where a web of associates has helped
them to spend lavishly on luxuries and stash away millions in bank accounts.
In Zimbabwe, meanwhile, inflation has reached 231m%, unemployment stands at
94% and 3,467 people have died in recent months from cholera.
