While the rest of the country was in jubilation over Robert Mugabe’s resignation, the so-called Rich Kids of Zimbabwe took to social media to show-off their wealthy possessions.
Among the ‘Rich Kids of Zimbabwe’ are his own sons Robert Jr, 25 and Chatunga Mugabe, 21. The pair have shared pictures of themselves showing off Rolls Royces, Bentleys, £45,000 watches and a private jet.
Vanessa Chironga, one of the so-called ‘Zimbabwe Kardashians’ – daughters of property mogul and politician Philip Chiyangwa, a ‘nephew’ of Mugabe, who is worth $280 million.
Sidney Himbara Jr tops the lot for parading his wealth online, as his father Sidney Sr is one of the richest businessmen in the nation. He showed his 5860 followers his customised alligator skin, gold plated Giuseppe Zanotti $14,000 trainers and a golden revolver that fires out lipstick pellets.
Zimbabwe’s richest ‘kid’ is Wicknell Chivayo – a controversial businessman with close ties to Mugabe’s family – with more than 75,000 followers on Instagram.
His excuse for buying custom-made cars is his ample frame, saying: “I fit comfortably, the seats are easily adjustable.”
