PRESIDENT Robert Mugabe has died, according to social media
reports in Zimbabwe.
The 92 year old leader is suspected to have succumbed to ill
health during his trip to Dubai for as yet unexplained purposes.
Speculations are that Mugabe’s health deteriorated and he had
to be rushed to Asia for medical attention.
Mugabe’s spokesperson, George Charamba, was reported in the
media to have laughed off all rumours maintaining that there is always a
default assumption of illness when the President’s trips went unexplained.
Despite Charamba’s ridicule, social media was abuzz with
death rumours, some based on prophesy by prominent clergyman Emmanuel
Makandiwa.
Others have found comedy in the death stories with one image
of a man with a cardboard coffin and a “go forever” note for the aged president
gaining virtual popularity.
This is not the first time Mugabe has been reported dead
while touring the globe especially during his annual leave holidays.
Similar reports have in the past been rebuked by government with
Mugabe coining an eccentric quote that the died and resurrected and more times
than Jesus Christ. - Society 24
