Tungoje mpaka Jumatano. Mugabe anasema atarudi Zimbabwe
Mugabe ‘returns on Wednesday'
09/04/2012 00:00:00 by Staff Reporter
PRESIDENT Robert Mugabe is expected back in Zimbabwe on Wednesday after a week's absence which fuelled fears about his health. Mugabe, 88, left on what was described as a "private visit" to Singapore on March 31.
Aides said Mugabe would use the trip to oversee arrangements for his daughter, Bona, to begin post-graduate study, after she received her accounting degree from a Hong Kong university last year.
Officials in Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai's MDC party have publicly suggested Mugabe's absence was paralysing government, with last week's Cabinet meeting cancelled.
On Monday, Misheck Sibanda, the chief secretary to the Cabinet, announced that Tuesday's Cabinet meeting had been moved to Thursday when Mugabe would be back in Harare. And a member of the Zanu PF politburo told New Zimbabwe.com that Mugabe was set to fly into the country sometime on Wednesday.
He denied the President had a health emergency, suggesting instead that the Zanu PF leader was enjoying an Easter break with his family in Asia. He said: "The President is on his Easter holidays, like everyone else.
"He returns to his post this week, at the same time as those who are asking about his whereabouts from their holiday hideouts."
