The process of establishing the assets of the late Robert Mugabe will take some time, his lawyer said on Tuesday, casting doubt on a state media report that the former Zimbabwean leader left $10 million and some properties in the capital.
Zimbabweans have speculated for years about Mugabe’s wealth, with many assuming that he and his family amassed a vast fortune - perhaps as much as $1 billion, according to a leaked U.S. cable from 2001 - during his 37 years in power.
