President Mnangagwa has expressed surprise that Patrick
Zhuwao was not in the country to mourn his uncle, former president, Robert
Mugabe.
Representatives of the Mugabe family met Mnangagwa where
they sought reassurances that family members who were out of the country will
not be arrested if they return.
Presidential Spokesman, George Charamba said :”President
Mnangangwa expressed surprise that there were some members of the Mugabe family
who had left the country without any indication that they were facing any
charges. In any event, if this had been made clear to the President, the Mugabe
family would be protected against undue victimisation.
“In particular the President could not understand why
Patrick Zhuwao had left the country except, possibly, in solidarity with his
colleagues, one of whom had in fact been in and out of the country,’’ he said,
in apparent reference to another “G40” kingpin, Saviour Kasukuwere.
Charamba explained that in respect to travel documents of
Mugabe family members who are currently undergoing trial in the courts, the
President instructed the Minister of Justice and Parliamentary Affairs Ziyambi
Ziyambi together with the courts to look into the matter, stressing that travel
documents were not held by the Government but by the courts.
