By Shiellah Sibanda| President Robert Mugabe failed to walk yesterday. Mugabe nearly tumbled down while walking on his own and was filmed on the national broadcaster, ZBC.
There have been rumours Mugabe is being artificially kept awake using eastern medicines.
President Mugabe has also been seen requiring physical assistance for basic tasks such as greeting. He was spotted so while attempting to greet the widow of former Zimbabwe Farmers’ Union, Mrs Rhoda Hungwe. “So our dear leader can’t raise his hand now he has to be assisted,” commented a ZimEye reader.
In February, a Zimbabwean opposition supporter asked the constitutional court to rule on Mugabe’s mental and physical fitness to do his job.
Tinomudaishe Chinyoka, who describes himself as a long-time member of the Movement for Democratic Change and qualified lawyer, presented an affidavit to the court in Harare outlining a series of blunders and media speculation that have raised questions about Mugabe’s ability to govern the southern African nation.
“Having a president that may lack capacity to carry out the job threatens democracy, undermines the constitution and all the rights therein and puts in jeopardy the very foundation, security and future of the nation,” Chinyoka said in the statement.
He cited as examples the 91-year-old leader reading out the wrong speech at the opening of parliament in September, repeating the state-of-the-nation address he delivered a few weeks earlier, as well as photos from last year that showed Mugabe descending stairs from a podium when he mis-stepped and fell.
Mugabe’s medical trips abroad, for what his office describes as check-ups, have also fueled speculation about his well-being and who may succeed him. The ruling Zimbabwe African National Union-Patriotic Front party is divided into camps, with supporters jockeying for his wife Grace Mugabe, who says she could be chosen, or Vice President Emmerson Mnangagwa.

Hopefully this mad dictator, who has nearly destroyed his country, will soon die a natural death.

This is what Shonas call a leader. The driver of their 1979 Grand Plan. This is what Shonas call a President. This is what Shonas voted for in 1980 and 1985 over Joshua Nkomo.
Shonas will vote for anything that shouts or sings Nehanda, Kaguvi etc, as long that thing never mentions King Mzilikazi or King Lobhengula; or at least in good light. As long that thing speaks the Gukurahundi language, it qualifies for President.
These are the most diehard tribalists on the African continent who today are now calling for national unity to dispose of their living ancestor.
Now Mthwakazi, let the Shonas fight and destroy what they created alone. They long told you, non of your people will ever be President. They long told you non of you will ever go beyond the Deputy level.
These are the most primitive, vangeful and cruel blacks on this African continent of ours. A sore thumb in Southern African politics and our region.
As a nation, we have become the laughing stock of the world all because of these people. A people with no shame!

ZANU PF thugs are killing this old man. He will soon collapse and die. You do not need to be prophet to foresee this. Anyway, in a country of prophets and man made miracles, it is better heard from false prophets than from common sense, which sometimes is not that common in Zimbabwe. Watch out.
