Mugabe's advanced age renders him legally unqualified to sign major deals

JOYCE MUJURU's ally and Zimbabwe People First (ZimPF) spokesperson Jealous Mawarire says President Robert Mugabe's advanced age renders him legally unqualified to sign major deals on behalf of the country.

President Mugabe turns 93 next month and has been globe trotting cutting deals on behalf of the country.

According to NewZimbabwe.com, Mawarire said at law, no one was supposed to sign any contracts with a person of Mugabe's age adding this must be done with the aid of a curator.

"The Law of Contract says you can't enter into anything binding if you are now someone of unsound mind," he said.

Mawarire said Mugabe could not enter into any binding contract with anyone "considering the apparent state of his mind".

"No one who is serious in doing business could enter into any contract which is legally binding with someone who is in his state," added Mawarire.
