Allegations have emerged that the personal wealth of Zimbabwe’s former president, Robert Mugabe, was managed by disgraced American financier and convicted s3x offender Jeffrey Epstein, according to a confidential source quoted in newly released United States government files.

The claim appears in documents attributed to the Federal Bureau of Investigation and contained in records released by the Department of Justice, which resurfaced in late January 2026 as part of a fresh batch of Epstein-related disclosures.

The files, dated November 27, 2017, have reignited global scrutiny over Epstein’s alleged connections to powerful political figures around the world, years after his conviction in the United States for soliciting a m!nor.

Uganda’s presidential election was plagued by widespread delays Thursday in addition to a days-long internet shutdown that has been criticized as an anti-democratic tactic in a country where the president has held office since 1986.

Some polling stations remained closed for up to four hours after the scheduled 7 a.m. start time due to “technical challenges,” according to the nation’s electoral commission, which asked polling officers to use paper registration records to ensure the difficulties did not “disenfranchise any voter.”
