The mansion depicted in these photographs is not Mugabe's residence at all.
In fact, the very same set of photographs has also circulated in protest messages decrying
the opulent lifestyles of other political leaders and celebrities.
One version claims that the home belongs to President Pervaiz Musharraf of Pakistan.
Another claims that the mansion is the home of former Nigerian ruler Ibrahim Babangida.
Yet another version suggests that the photographs show the home of former Secretary
of Health Care of Azerbaijan, Russia.
And, finally, many references, including a YouTube video, claim that the home belongs to
Bollywood superstar, Shahrukh Khan.
In fact, all these claims are false. The mansion in the photographs is actually a home
located in the wealthy community of Bell Air, Los Angeles.
The mansion is available as a location for film, television and commercial shoots and
is featured as such on the website of location manager, Toni Maier.
Thus, there is no truth in the story that the mansion in the photographs belongs to Mugabe.
And, in any case, an ariel shot of Mugabe's partially completed mansion in Harare shows
a building quite different to the one depicted in these photographs.
Some commentators have claimed that the mansion belongs to Mugabe's cousin Philippe Chiyangwa.
However, this claim is also untrue.
News photographs of Chiyangwa's mansion show a residence with a different style
and aspect than that of the mansion shown in the above photographs.
Although the photographs do not show Mugabe's residence, various news
reports indicate that, for several years, he has been building himself a lavish mansion
while a great many of his people live under terrible conditions.
The controversial leader also has other luxurious residences.
