Mugabe to go East for another op
President Robert Mugabe’s prostate cancer reportedly needs constant attention and he is likely to return to Singapore for follow-up treatment in February.
Sources from his office who declined to be named said Mugabe was advised to return for the operation by his foreign doctors. When he returned from the Far East after more than a month away, Mugabe told supporters at the Harare International Airport that his wife Grace had undergone an appendicitis operation and had remained behind to recuperate.
“It is true that the First Lady underwent an operation but information we have received shows that it was not as big as the president claimed. Instead, it is him who had a major operation for prostate cancer and he is supposed to go back to Singapore.
“He is likely to go back very soon and the First Lady had to remain behind so that it would look as though President Mugabe would be going there to check on her. She could have returned to Zimbabwe with him if she wanted because her own condition is not that serious,” said one of the sources. Mugabe will turn 91 on February 21 and is already displaying signs of advanced age as his speech has become slurred and confused, he suffers loss of memory and has difficulty in maintaining balance. Last year, he made several verbal slips, among them remarking that Morgan Tsvangirai had won the 2008 elections by 74 percent, denouncing his own party and telling former Zambian leader Kenneth Kaunda that he was ruling under duress.
His personal aides are on high alert whenever he appears in public, moving swiftly towards him whenever he shows signs of losing balance.
The sources said the president was receiving combined therapy that included radiation, chemotherapy and surgery. “We hear that the prostate cancer is spreading to other parts of the body and his doctors say that cannot be stopped but remedied through constant treatment. Some local and foreign doctors also attend to him here (in Zimbabwe) frequently.
“The treatment includes routines that strengthen his bladder so that he can control the passage of urine. The president is suffering from back-aches and cannot sit in an upright position for long. He is always shifting in his chair,” said another source.
George Charamba, Mugabe’s personal spokesperson and permanent secretary in the information ministry, has dismissed reports that Mugabe underwent a major operation while on annual holiday in the Far East. – The Zimbabwean

I know Grace in person.Right now arikikwirwa zvebasa Mugabe asipo.The days are numbered to joy when Mugabe is gone.Killing machine Mugabe ,Grace and ZANU.PF
The arrogance & disregard they show would not have them trying to hide multiple trips to Singapore. Word is that Dr First Shopper is not well for real. She may go before him according to people who have been tasked to pray for her recovery.
So the story of Grace staying behind after medical treatment is just a half-bake story to cover the need for him return back to the Far East. Keeping a shopaholic like Grace for three months just as a cover is dumb because she will have an excellent excuse for her to shop until she drops – to relief boredom. Someone has to pay the bill and we know that someone is the Zimbabwean taxpayer.
Mugabe has just been to the Far East for five weeks with his extended family; left the
wife three on some stupid pretext so she will now be there for three months and
now he is going back with the usual entourage! At this rate, the nation is spending
more money on Mugabe and his family’s health needs than it is spending on the
health needs of the remaining 12 million Zimbabweans. This is really stupid and
totally irresponsible!
