President Robert Mugabe’s cabinet ministers on Monday, appeared to authenticate speculative media reports about the 93-year-old leader’s ill-health and frailty when they presented him with a “special massage wheelchair” as a belated birthday present, with critics insisting it was a wheelchair. The chair was presented to Mugabe at a private function held at State House, before the report went viral amid speculation that he was now wheelchair-bound. Public Service, Labour and Social Welfare Minister, Priscah Mupfumira, who coordinated and organised the event, confirmed the gifts which also included a nine-carat gold watch and a golden pen, but denied reports that they had presented him with a wheelchair.The development could be a fulfilment of First Lady, Grace Mugabe’s declaration during a Mbare rally in November 2015 that her husband would continue to rule even from a wheelchair and later from his grave because of “his unparalleled wisdom to lead the country”.[/b] “We are going to create a special wheelchair for President Mugabe until he rules to 100 years, because that’s what we want.” Critics said it confirmed that old age had taken its toll on the Zanu-PF leader who turned 93 in February.
