President Robert Mugabe burst into uncontrollably laughter in parliament while asking officials if he was handed the correct speech to read.

In a delayed ZBC broadcast of the opening of parliament today, Mugabe was seen laughing, holding a bunch of papers in between saying 'is this the right speech".

In September last year, Mugabe (92) delivered a wrong speech at the opening of a new session of parliament, repeating an address he gave to the legislature in August.

Mugabe read the 25-minute-long speech through apparently unaware that he was delivering the same text he presented during his state of the nation address.
