Outcry over lavish Mugabe pension - Zimbabwe

Zimbabweans have expressed outrage over President Robert Mugabe's decision to peg his pension benefits to almost the same level as the salary of a sitting president.

The main opposition party, the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC), said it would scrap the decision that Mugabe signed into law at the weekend as soon as it gained power.

The MDC said considering the damage Mugabe's policies had done to the Zimbabwean economy, he should have volunteered to forfeit his pension and rely on the wealth that he and his cronies had looted from Zimbabwe and stashed abroad.
