PRESIDENT Robert Mugabe made his first public appearance on Tuesday after his mysterious trip to Singapore last Friday – his fourth in as many months.
Mugabe, 87, visited the family of Menard Muzariri, the late Deputy Director General of the Central Intelligence Organisation, who died on Monday.
A newspaper report on Sunday said Mugabe had accompanied the First Lady for hospital treatment in Singapore after she slipped in the bathroom of their Borrowdale mansion and dislocated her hip.
Adding to the intrigue was Mugabe's spokesman, George Charamba, who claimed not to have been briefed on the President's latest trip.
Charamba speculated that they may have been visiting their daughter, Bona, who is on work placement in China. She attends university in Hong Kong.
It has been speculated that last Friday's trip, made possible by a commandeered Air Zimbabwe plane, may in fact have been necessitated by Mugabe's own health concerns.
