Mugabe pays off Mujuru

PRESIDENT Robert Mugabe yesterday gazetted a statutory instrument paving the way for axed Vice-President Joice Mujuru to receive her terminal benefits, eight months after she was forced out.

The Presidential Pension and Retirement Benefits published in Statutory Instrument 86 of 2015, gazetted on August 7, says Mujuru will enjoy several benefits including personal security, medical aid, travel allowances and domestic workers paid for by the State.

Mujuru will, among other things, be provided with a domestic worker, a gardener, two drivers, a private secretary, a close security unit officer, two aide-de-camp officers and use of a Mercedes Benz motor vehicle and a colour television set.
