Mr. Mugabe will be receiving a first class air travel on four foreign trips per year; private houses and an army of aides and domestic staff as part of the deal.

The Pan-Africanist has also received a diplomatic passport and three vehicles, including a Mercedes limousine.

Herald has reported that the former Zimbabwean leader would also receive a four-wheel drive station wagon and a pick-up. Should these vehicles wear out, they will be replaced every five years.
