Blue Roof

Blue Roof is a notable mansion and former presidential palace located in the Borrowdale suburb of Harare, Zimbabwe. Constructed in 2006 for then-President Robert Mugabe, this striking residence features a distinctive blue-tiled roof, which earned it its nickname. The mansion was built with materials sourced locally and funded through international donations, including significant contributions from Malaysia. Following Mugabe's ousting in 2017 and subsequent death in 2019, the mansion became a site of political intrigue, with disputes over its ownership. Today, it stands as a symbol of Zimbabwe's complex political history and is of interest to both tourists and researchers exploring the legacy of Mugabe and the country's past.
