While his mother values her privacy – ‘Don’t take photo!’ – Chatunga seems to hold a different view. Mugabe junior appears in an online publication, lounging on a sofa with a coterie of girls, in an indecorous tangle of arms and legs. In another photograph, thick palls of smoke issue from the mouth of Chatunga and that of an unidentified male companion.
While the brand of cigarettes is not clear, the thickness and hue of the smoke suggests that it is something other than tobacco. At most national events, Mugabe loves to speak from the back of a high horse, preaching morals to the youth. He must be a proud father.
