Mugabe’s 21-year-old slay king son speaks out about dad

On Thursday morning, after days of turmoil which saw his father seized by the army and mother Grace reportedly flee the country, Mugabe’s son Chatunga shared his thoughts about the situation.

Chatunga Mugabe, 21, is known for his lavish party lifestyle, which he often shares with thousands of followers on social media.

Last week he was pictured on social media apparently pouring a £200 bottle of champagne over his glitzy watch which he claimed was worth £45,000.

On Thursday, as President Mugabe’s future leading the country looked unlikely, son Chatunga Mugabe posted a more sober update to his 35,000 followers on his Facebook timeline. The clip he shared comes from a BBC Newsnight interview, recorded in 1980 when he first became PM of Zimbabwe.

He tells the interviewer: “I’m prime minister of my country, and I intend to rule that country with firmness.

After his father made his first public appearance today, Chatunga posted, “The President,Commander In Chief of the Defense Force and Chancellor of Zimbabwe Universities will be capping Zimbabwe Open University graduates today. Gushungo
#ProudOfYouDad” on Facebook.
