The 93 year old former leader of Zimbabwe, Robert Mugabe may have left power but he went away with some goodies, according to details of the deal that forced him to resign.

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.
