Robert Mugabe houses
Influencers have been recently drumming for public attention into some of the cozy homes allegedly owned by Mugabe. Their outcry seems to have garnered sufficient momentum after his forceful removal from power in 2017. Details into every one of his houses sitting in different parts of the world never come short of tingling marvels.

It is a big deal owning properties in first-class city-states such as Dubai, but Mugabe seems to have embraced the challenge fearlessly with a rented posh home where he paid USD 500, 000 which is equivalent to 7 million Rands (about Shs. 49 million) every month. Mugabe’s house in Dubai caught the public attention after his wife Grace unveiled the lump sum that paid for the property, and it was claimed that the Dubai house was in the same neighbourhood as that of the Zuma's. Some people prefer to call it Grace Mugabe mansion. Sources indicate that the family owns yet another stately home within the neighborhood.
2. Robert Mugabe house in Hong Kong
Mugabe and Grace own an apartment in Asia, Hong Kong, which the couple and Mugabe children visit occasionally. The property is, however, amid a severe legal dispute after a South African businessman claimed its ownership through acquisition, and there are claims that this House 3 of JC Castle Tai Po property was sold at a loss in 2010. His close ties with Hong Kong coincidentally explains why the fallen African hero preferred to fly to the region for his medical routines.
3. Robert Mugabe house in South Africa
The president crossed his way south to establish a decent house for himself away from home. Unlike thousands of other Zimbabweans who left their country for South Africa in search of better economic grounds, Mugabe’s family did it on purpose for his close ties to the country. He was among a few leaders that collaborated with Nelson Mandela to destroy apartheid epidemic. Conflict of interest would later result in a massive divide between him and South African political leadership. Sources indicate that Grace acquired a 45 million Rand in the leafy Sandtown area for her family. Robert Mugabe sons among them Robert Mugabe Jr, now reside in Johannesburg permanently.
4. Robert Mugabe house The 'Blue Roof'
Blue Roof House Zimbabwe is the most famous among Mugabe's countrymen for its strategic location in the capital, Harare. The Borrowdale home is worth 10 million US dollars (8 million Euros), which estimated to about Sh. 1 billion. The house is a real image of Mugabe’s extended stay in office and remains a symbol of his influence in the country for close to four decades.

However, according to Leo Mugabe, the late president did not own the Blue Roof. Instead it is owned by a firm linked to Zanu-PF but the transfer of the property to the family will be done by the current president, Emmerson Mnangagwa. So, if he did not own it in life, his family will own it in his death.

Where is Robert Mugabe from? The ex-president has another beautiful home in his Kutama village where his family insists on having his body laid to rest.
