Bona Mugabe, the daughter of the late Zimbabwe President, Robert Mugabe is failing to complete the $39 Million mansion that she was building with her husband, Simba Chikore.
Key Points

- The mansion has 25 Bedrooms.
- The mansion is built on land bigger than the Harare Gardens (21 Hectares).
- The original cost of the house was $39 Million.
- Mugabe was funding the construction of the house before he died.
- Mugabe asked Bona to revise the costs down to $20 Million.
- The basement is 1200Msq ( 9 Bedrooms including an apartment).
- Ground Floor 3000msq ( 8 rooms).

- The deck is 600msq.
- There will be a road that stretches for over 1km inside the property.
- There are other costs such as architects, engineers and landscaping.
- A Massive swimming pool is planned on the property.
In conclusion:
- This project was a massive waste of money and was probably funded using state money.
- Bona and her husband could have built over 1000 medium density houses with the funds used on this house.
- The Mugabe family will eventually go bankrupt within the next few years due to poor investments.
