Usually the Zbc and other state run media outlets use live pictures of the president arriving at the airport after there has been speculation on his health. However this time old pictures have been used as can be seen below. Zbc used a May 30, 2011 picture of president Mugabe alighting from a plane

The Herald and Chronicle used a January 28, 2013 picture also used by Maziwisa, who implies it was taken yesterday saying, "The greatest man of our time, looking sharp and sprightly as ever, on arrival from Singapore at the Harare International Airport yesterday!"

In fact it was captioned: "Republic of Zimbabwe Vice President Joice Mujuru welcoming President Robert Mugabe from the African Union summit in Ethiopia on January 28, 2013." by Abayomi Azikiwe

Why didn't Zanu-PF provide recent pictures and kill off speculation once and for all?
