, while his wife will receive a generous pension after his death, and his children’s businesses won’t be touched by the incoming administration.
"The government will give him a $5 million lump sum and then the remainder to be paid out in instalments," a source told the Zim-bob-we Independent, whose report has since been confirmed by other media outlets. "Mugabe will also enjoy full medical cover as well as his full monthly salary. In the event of his death, his wife will be given half [his monthly salary]."
Mugabe, 93, currently receives a $150,000 annual pension, which will be partly inherited by his 52-year-old second wife Grace Mugabe, who is pejoratively known as "Gucci Grace" among some Zim-bob-weans. The two are expected to stay in the Blue Roof mansion in Harare, with the state still paying all travel, security and staff expenses for the couple.
The property of both of Mugabe’s children, and his wife’s son Russell from a previous marriage "will not be seized or in any way molested," the Guardian reports. Mugabe’s extended family owns a range of dairy farms, and has notable interests in the country’s mining industry.
"I was worried about what the changes would mean for me personally, but I am now reassured that I can live on in my country," one of Mugabe’s relatives, who did not wish to make his name public, told the publication.
