Mugabe shares bed with teen son

President Robert Mugabe shares a bed with his teenage son - Bellarmine when Grace Mugabe is away.

The First Lady Grace made the revelations in state media interview recently.

She was commenting on Mugabe  continental duties.

Below is the interview in part:

We are so much used to it. He (President Mugabe) always works hard. He is the Head of State and Government; he is expected to be out there working hard and as a family, we expect him to be working like that.

So, the children are very much aware of that.

Their father is sort of scarce in their lives and they have grown up knowing he is always busy, always travelling and always away.

But when he finds time, he would be with his children, talk to them and ensure they would have done their homework, especially our last born, Bellarmine, who is now doing his A-Levels.

He is writing this year, so he will ensure he has time to talk to him.

Sometimes when I am not around, they share the bed, they talk.

Bellarmine is unlike all my other children; he does more talking and he enjoys asking questions.

"How can I achieve this? How can I do that?"

But he is always busy and they should understand that although he is their biological father, he has other children to take care of as well. These are the Zimbabwean children.

People in Zimbabwe also need him. That's why we chose him; to have him lead us and work for us.

"So, they understand that our father has work to do for this country. Also, he is the Chairperson of the African Union and Sadc, which means more work for him."

We understand what it means and we need to support him as a country.
