Zimbabwe’s 92-year-old President Robert Mugabe’s first grandchild, a boy, was born in Asia this week and not in Zimbabwe.

His only daughter Bona, married to a Zimbabwe pilot, Simba Chikowore, chose to have her child far from home.

Bona’s mother Grace was with her at the birth which was said by some Zimbabwe media to have been in Dubai. Others said the baby was born in Singapore.

No official announcement has yet been made.

Bona and Simba were married in a lavish wedding in 2014 and live in one of her father’s homes in Harare.

Mugabe’s three children with Grace were all born in Harare, but since then the family has chosen to have medical care in Asia, usually Singapore.

Zimbabwe’s once excellent public medical facilities collapsed more then a decade ago. But there are still several adequate private hospitals with qualified medical personnel in Harare.

Mugabe has had several operations and regular check-ups at a five-star hospital in Singapore. He usually arranges an official visit to Asia and then calls in to see his doctors in Singapore. Mugabe travels on one of Air Zimbabwe’s two Boeing 767s.
