President Robert Mugabe and his family flew over 10,000km to Singapore – because Kariba or Vic Falls won’t do – seemingly oblivious to the troubles back home. To show us plebs what Christmas is like for the privileged few, Robert Mugabe Jnr was kind enough to post, online, photographs of the Mugabes having a gay old time in Singapore.
