The 25-bedroom private house was reportedly constructed by a Serbian construction firm in 2003. On Friday, November 24, 2017, the curtain was drawn on the 37-year reign of Robert Mugabe as president of Zimbabwe as his former deputy, Emmerson Mnangagwa, was sworn in as the nation’s new leader. Despite becoming the leader of the country amid a wave of public support all the way back in 1980, Mugabe has been forced out of power in disgrace with many corruption allegations trailing his government. With the president reportedly worth more than $1 billion while ruling one of the world’s poorest countries, it’s no wonder a lot of people wanted him gone. One of the president’s most high profile display of extravagant wealth is his construction of the famous lavish “Blue House”/”Blue Roof” property located around 16 miles north of Zimbabwe’s capital, Harare. According to The Zimbabwean, the 25-bedroom private house was reportedly constructed by a Serbian construction firm in 2003.
