We sought out ten African presidents with biggest wardrobes. As is well known, Africans have a penchant to dress fancy. Regardless of the shallowness of our pockets, it seems Africans are always going for the most expensive fashion brands such as Dolce and Gabbana, Gucci, Angelo Galasso, Calvin Klein and many others.

Lately, China has met the demand for expensive brands in Africa by manufacturing cheap and counterfeit goods that look, in most cases, just like the American and European brands we go for.

1. Robert Mugabe – Zimbabwe


Most certainly, after being in power for 37 years, it behooves Robert Mugabe to have the largest wardrobe amongst all the African presidents. And, remember Mugabe is a white man trapped in a black body. Most journalists and politicians have commented on Mugabe’s Victorian lifestyle and manners. Mugabe is always clad in well fitting suits. He always makes sure to match the shirt with the tie and the pocket handkerchief! Heidi Holland, a South African journalist who once interviewed Mugabe and wrote the famous book, “Dinner with Mugabe,” remarked about Mugabe’s Victorian manners and lifestyle. She said, “Mugabe grew up in the colonial era. One of the reasons he’s been so angry and is still so angry is that he’s been rejected by the British. When I interviewed him in 2007 he had tears in his eyes when he mentioned the British royal family. The real problem is that he tries to be both an African and a Brit and he can’t pull it off because they are parallel people and they despise each other.
