Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe has reportedly returned home from Singapore where he “spent part of his annual leave”.

According to a Herald report, Mugabe’s spokesperson George Charamba said the veteran leader who arrived in Zimbabwe on Friday, would spend the remainder of his leave in the country.

Vice President Joice Mujuru will continue acting president until Mugabe’s leave is over.

There was speculation in the media last week that Mugabe had collapsed at his home in Harare. His Zanu-PF party however dismissed the reports as “absolute nonsense”, saying the president was “as fit as a fiddle”.
