PM to finally move into official residence

Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai is most likely to move into his official residence in Highlands soon after his State visit to Australia, probably at the end of this month or soon after his September wedding, party sources told NewsDay yesterday.

The property, located at 49 Kew Drive in Highlands, recently courted controversy following reports that the MDC-T leader had illegally claimed $3 million for its renovation.

Tsvangirai was alleged to have claimed $1,5 million from the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe and another $1,5 million from Treasury for the same project, charges he has denied saying those pursuing his prosecution were on a wild goose chase.
