Mugabe moves to quell speculation

President Robert Mugabe’s health has been a subject of speculation each time he sneaks out of the country.

The last time he visited Singapore, there were even reports, sparked by an online news website, that he had died.

His spin doctors were forced to work overtime to prove that the 88-year-old leader was “as fit as a fiddle” and went to the extent of inviting journalists to see Mugabe arriving at Harare International Airport from Singapore in the early hours of the morning.
