The world’s oldest national leader, Zimbabwe’s President Robert Mugabe on Saturday returned to work after a month-long vacation in Asia, where he was rumoured to have collapsed and died.
The presidency had last week debunked rumours that the leader had collapsed and died on vacation, but some had refused to believe, preferring to see the leader before accepting the assurances from the capital that the leader was indeed in sound health.
The 92-year-old leader has been at the helms of the country since independence from Great Britain in 1980, and does not seem to be in a hurry to step down.
According to the state-run newspaper The Herald, Mugabe met the President of Equatorial Guinea, Theordore Obiang Nguema for over three hours in the Zimbabwean capital, Harare on Saturday.
“President Mugabe and the First Lady Grace Mugabe arrived home last night (Friday), quashing false media reports that (he) had suffered a heart attack while on his annual leave in the Far East,” The Herald reported.
After the meeting, Nguema told the media they had discussed bilaterial relation between the two countries, security and terrorism that is currently ravaging the African continent.
