Robert Mugabe's extravagant son teased as he posts tribute to him

Chatunga Bellarmine Mugabe, Robert Mugabe’s flamboyant son has been teased for posting a tribute picture of his father online after he was forced to resign as president of Zimbabwe.

He was mocked by social media users after uploading the image hours after his father’s reign ended.

One commenter on the Facebook post told the 21-year-old, known for his love of luxury living, that the “money is gone now”, with another adding: “no more champagne baths”.

It comes after his father Mr Mugabe stepped down as the country’s leader after the army took control of Harare and placed him under hours arrest.

Mr Mugabe was the president of the country’s ruling party Zanu-PF.

Commenting on Chatunga’s post, one user wrote: “Dad fell off the cash cow called Zanu PF,no more champagne bathes.”

Another added: “Am sure they have enough to live for four more lifetimes spending exactly the same.”

But others jumped to defend Zimbabwe’s departing president, with one Facebook user saying: “He will forever be celebrated by me! Iconic leader he was!”

And another wrote under the photo tribute of Mr Mugabe: “I will always salute you my President! you will remain a hero and nothing can change that! Fare well.”

The tribute came after Chatunga previously posted a defiant message, again on Facebook, in support of his father as he sensationally refused to resign.

At the time he said that the country’s ruling party Zanu-PF “is nothing without President Mugabe".

Using the name of his father’s clan Gushungo, he added: “Gushungo will always remain the champion of champions!” - ES

Republic of corruption !!! Babachir Lawal, others diverted PINE funds – UNDP, UHRC

The United Nations Development Programme, UNDP, has accused the Presidential Initiative on the North East, PINE, of complicity in the illegal diversion of funds donated to help Internally Displaced Persons, IDPs, in the country.

The draft report, which UNDP issued in collaboration with the National Human Rights Commission, NHRC, on Tuesday, revealed that out of N8.352billion released to PINE in 2016, a total sum of N6.326bn was spent, leaving a balance of N2.026bn.

It however decried that PINE which depleted the funds, “paid less attention to the critical needs of IDPs in the areas of housing, food, education and healthcare, but rather used the bulk of the resources on contracts that were found to have immensely benefitted some public officials including the now-suspended Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Babachir Lawal”.

According to the report which UNDP and NHRC made available to newsmen in Abuja, “Public procurement rules and extant federal financial guidelines were breached in the award of the contracts.

“Prima facie cases of conflict of interest were established and companies were fully paid as at a time they had not finished the assigned jobs, whilst kickbacks were made by some companies to others where public officials had clear interest.

“Again, out of 249 trucks carrying 10,000 metric tonnes of Maize released by the Federal Government for the benefit of the IDPs in the six states of the North East, 65 trucks were diverted and did not reach their intended destination.

“They were later recovered by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission after the Senate Committee report was made public.

“But this is a development against the background of the mounting hunger and food crisis in the IDP camps”.

“The findings was that governments did not use the maximum of available resources to protect the rights and welfare of the IDPs. The resources provided at the federal and state levels were paltry.

“In Gombe State, even the little provided in the state budget was not released and cash backed. Most of the IDPs lived in host communities with little access to official humanitarian support, putting additional strain on the already stretched communual health, education and social services.

“The camps were struggling to accommodate the increasing number of displaced people, who found themselves subject to unhealthy living conditions. Many children were malnourished, as adequate provisions were not made to feed them”. - Daily Post
