President Robert Mugabe is reportedly back to his Singapore holiday hideout  after cutting his vacation shot to attend a France-Africa Summit in Mali last week.

The summit ended on Saturday.

There have been no reports of his return to the country sparking speculation that he fly back to his new found base.

Last week, Mugabe come under fire for being "greedy" and failing to cede power to his deputies, with the nonagenarian travelling on official business at a time he is supposed to be resting.

Vice President Phelekezela Mphoko is acting president.

Mugabe - who is on his month-long annual holiday - has embarked on high-profile trips, spoiling himself with flying business class around the world and spending nights in presidential suites in premier hotels - all in the claim of working for Zimbabwe's betterment.

Opposition political parties accused the soon-to-be 93-year-old of engaging in fundraising antics, getting millions of dollars in foreign travel allowances while on leave.

Mugabe, who  together with his family was in China a  week ago having bilateral talks with the country's president Xi Jinping,  travelled on official business to Mali for the two-day France-Africa Summit.
