A statue of President Robert Mugabe standing alongside his wife Grace and sculptor Dominic Benhura has attracted rave reviews on social media.
The sculpture surfaced on Friday.
Some social media users mocked Mugabe with some saying its the work of Grace and G40 faction.
Below are some the comments
Zenzele Ndebele @zenzele said 'Cde Benhura tried his best on that Mugabe statue.That is a stone curved statue using his own hands. Not bronze casting like the Nkomo statue.
Honest Masiya said @samirasawlani @TrendsZim Grace looks like she is choking on her silent laugh.
@samirasawlani the artist is secretly protesting through expression

@ali_naka
Mugabe doesn't trust ZIM doctors, he will no longer trust ZIM sculptors after getting abused in this manner #MugabeStatue
@NomaXesh "never mind the hideous statue, what the hell is that woman wearing?? Sure does compliment the statue really well
@TrevorNcube said 'I have no idea. Grace might have created this. Matches her dress sense #MugabeStatue #ThisStatue
#TiChitsinde "Guess this is what you get when you force an artist to do something in your honour when you aren't honourable anymore
@Dumi_rainmaker "Statue seems good to me, but can't Bob afford a tailor to shorten his trousers?
Dominic Benhura is the ultimate troll. He actually convinced the old man to get out bed and come outside for a photo shoot with that thing.
