This is the lavish mansion owned by Robert Mugabe and his wife Grace while millions of desperate Zimbabweans face starvation.
Photographs of the plush palace, dubbed 'Blue Roof', show the 93-year-old tyrant immerse himself in luxury, far away from the pain and suffering felt by ordinary people in the cash-strapped nation.
The 25-bedroom house, valued at $10 million (Sh1 billion) in Harare is based in 44-acre grounds fenced off from the public and protected by a multi-million pound security system, The Zimbabwean reported.
Images show the extravagant property decked with marble floors, expensive chandeliers and a swimming pool.
The pictures were released as evidence Mugabe and his wife lavished millions of themselves while leaving millions to suffer.
They emerged as Mugabe desperately clings onto power after he was sacked as leader of the country's ruling ZANU-PF party, having driven Zimbabwe to economic collapse.
