Mugabe now pre-occupied with foreign trips instead of domestic issues

Political analyst Takura Zhangazha has indicated that it appeared as if Mugabe was now primarily pre-occupied with foreign affairs instead of addressing domestic issues.

"It is clear that his priorities' list is wrong. At the moment he thinks more about foreign affairs than the domestic issues affecting the country," Zhangazha said.

He said Mugabe was not being honest about being tired because he had the final say on his foreign itinerary.

"It is his decision and he can't blame anyone. No one imposed on him the decision to travel to Algeria so he can't claim to be tired. He is not being honest," he said."It is his office that decides where he goes. He can even send his deputies to represent him."
