Zimbabwe
President Robert Mugabe has given his sister-in-law $60,000 (£46,000)
as a birthday gift, the state-owned Herald newspaper reports.
It
says that the gift was to thank Junior Gumbochuma, who is the first
lady's eldest sister, for helping to Mr Mugabe's children.
Mrs
Gumbochuma is a pastor and the Herald reports that the president used
the opportunity of her birthday celebrations to criticise Pentecostal
preachers who make money from their congregants by stage-managing
miracles.
Zimbabwe's economy is currently struggling to grow and
the country is experiencing a cash shortage as there are not enough
dollar notes, one of the currencies used in the country, are in
circulation. |
