A major scandal is rocking Zimbabwe’s elite circles, involving the in-laws of First Lady Auxillia Mnangagwa. Kelsea Tafirenyika, reportedly married to President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s son Collins, was recently granted US$1,000 bail in connection with drug charges. This development follows an alleged dramatic attempt to escape the country via a private jet in Dubai, which was reportedly grounded.

The unfolding saga has seen Collins Mnangagwa’s in-laws spending a weekend in jail, with further investigations underway to hunt for properties linked to the case.
