However, the mansion depicted in these photographs is not Mugabe's residence at all. In fact, the very same set of photographs has also circulated in protest messages decrying the opulent lifestyles of other political leaders and celebrities.
One version claims that the home belongs to President Pervaiz Musharraf of Pakistan.
Another claims that the mansion is the home of former Nigerian ruler Ibrahim Babangida.
Yet another version suggests that the photographs show the home of former Secretary of Health Care of Azerbaijan, Russia. And, finally, many
references, including a
YouTube video, claim that the home belongs to Bollywood superstar, Shahrukh Khan.
In fact, all these claims are false.
The mansion in the photographs is actually a home located in the wealthy community of Bell Air, Los Angeles. The mansion is available as a location for film, television and commercial shoots and is
featured as such on the website of location manager,
Toni Maier. Thus, there is no truth in the story that the mansion in the photographs belongs to Mugabe. And, in any case, an
ariel shot of Mugabe's partially completed mansion in Harare shows a building quite different to the one depicted in these photographs.
