Cabinet ministers and senior officials in Zanu PF have been embroiled in messy divorce proceedings instigated by infidelity among spouses.
In his remarks at the wedding reception of former central bank governor Gideon Gono’s daughter at a colourful function in Borrowdale yesterday, President Mugabe admitted that his ministers were involved in extra marital affairs.
“Dai taiziva zvemasmall houses taiti we will go and destroy because they shouldn’t exist at all,” he said.
“What do you need a small house for? What has happened to your big house? Why do you want to spend more time with a small house and not a big house? Do your children know about the small house?”
Gono’s daughter, Praise, exchanged vows with Tshalahika Malaba at Christchurch in Borrowdale. The reception was held at Palm Estate also in Borrowdale.
Mugabe said his family and Gono’s came a long way. He said his family had comforted Gono after his children were expelled from Australia.
