President Robert Mugabe chaired a cabinet meeting that lasted five hours. Cabinet sources told Bulawayo24 News that he openly joked about his ill-health reports.
Mugabe came off a 10-hour flight and rested just two hours before chairing the five hour Cabinet meeting also attended by Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai.
The ministerial meeting was held two days later than first scheduled due to the unavailability of Mugabe.
Mugabe arrived back in Harare Thursday morning from Singapore as his Zanu-PF party scoffed at reports that the veteran leader was gravely ill. Zanu-PF had earlier dismissed reports that Mugabe had been gravely ill as ''a lot of hogwash'' put about by hostile Western media organisations.
He was met at the Harare International Airport by senior Zanu-PF and government officials, service chiefs and party supporters.
Mugabe has made 10 trips to Singapore in the past 16 months, reportedly for medical treatment for prostate cancer. He has called for elections this year and has been nominated as his party's only presidential candidate.
