A video showing one of Robert Mugabe's two high living sons soaking his diamond encrusted watch in champagne fuelled the anger of Zimbabweans.

Chatunga Bellarmine Mugabe uploaded the video to Snapchat hours after bragging that he got the £45,000 timepiece because 'daddy run the whole country'.

Despite Zimbabwe's abundant natural resources and fertile land, under Mugabe's leadership, the country's economy has been laid to waste.

The video was made public as ordinary Zimbabweans struggle with poverty and have seen their savings wiped out by hyperinflation

The bottle is Armand de Brignac Ace Of Spades gold, which retails for around £200

Hyperinflation has wiped out savings, unemployment is sky-high and economic output has halved since 2000 while seven in ten in the landlocked country of 16million are stuck in poverty.

The footage, filmed in a nightclub, shows Chatunga enjoying a life of unimaginable wealth while almost three quarters of the country lives below the poverty line.

Chatunga filmed himself, brother Robert, and friends partying in a nightclub in Sandton, South Africa, where they are based, according to News 24.

The bottle is Armand de Brignac Ace Of Spades gold, which retails for around £200.

A second hand then appears in the frame with another bottle and begins emptying that on the watch too, before both of the empty bottles are displayed for the camera.

More bottles are then displayed on a table before the footage ends.

Mugabe's wife 52-year-old Grace is nicknamed 'Gucci Grace' for her rapacious appetite for luxury goods.

The 'First Lady of Shopping', currently under house arrest with her husband at their 25-bedroom Blue Roof mansion military coup, has lavished millions on bling, including £200,000 on a diamond-studded headboard.

She is widely loathed in Zimbabwe, where seven in ten are stuck in poverty. The population has been incensed by reports of a lavish lifestyle that once saw her spend £120,000 on one shopping spree in Paris.

In Zimbabwe's second-largest city, Bulawayo, a speaker at a rally said anger at Grace Mugabe, whose apparent attempts to succeed her husband were a factor in the military's decision to step in.

'You and your husband should go today and not tomorrow,' the speaker said.
