Updated | By Kriya Gangiah
Having a statue resembling you is an honour. Unfortunately for Zimbabwe’s President Robert Mugabe his recent statue is being liken to a Simpson's character.
Zimbabwe has been in the news for several years for all the wrong reasons and the countries President Robert Mugabe doesn't often receive very good press.
And this time is no different!
Mugabe has unveiled a statue created by internationally renowned sculpture Dominic Benhura, that for some reason looks just like a certain cartoon creation with social media a buzz with comparisons of the statue to Homer Simpson .
But despite the likeness, the nation’s 92-year-old president seemed happy enough donating the work to ‘charity’.
