Zimbabwe's First
Family has been slapped with a bill of R780 000 to repair a luxury
Sandton apartment that had been rented by President Robert Mugabe's two
sons, reports said on Friday.
Robert Junior and
Bellarmine Chatunga were reportedly evicted from The Regent Apartment
Hotel in June for their "unacceptable behaviour". They later moved to
another hotel, where First Lady Grace Mugabe is alleged to have attacked
model Gabriella Engels in August.
The Zimbabwe
Independent says that the two boys were slapped with a bill from The
Regent after they "destroyed property and stained carpets" during their
stay there.
Quoting unnamed
sources, the paper said: "The Regent MCC manager has written to the
First Family informing them that R780000 is needed to repair the
apartment."
In July, the
Zimbabwe Independent reported that the two boys had upset other guests
at the hotel with their noise and incessant partying, and that things
had come to a head after a violent brawl in the hotel's entrance.
In early July, Grace was reported to have made an "emergency trip" to South Africa to find them alternative accommodation.
The First Lady was
back in South Africa in August, which is when she allegedly assaulted
Engels after she found the model in her sons' new quarters at Sandton's
Capital 20 West.
Photographs leaked
to the South African media showed that some damage was caused inside
that apartment during the alleged assault.
