Old age and frailty threaten Zanu-PF leader President Mugabe's election campaign amid reports that memory lapses and other health problems have assailed the Head of State lately.
Although his party handlers have sought to dispel swirling speculation over Mugabe's capability to steamroll an effective campaign, indications are that infirmity may indeed affect his usually energetic self.
Due to advanced age, Zanu-PF insiders said Mugabe would only address 10 star rallies before the July 31 elections.
The President's handlers have also been kept busy trying to cover up for Mugabe's numerous speech slip-ups and physical flailing.
Mugabe is expected to kickstart his campaign rallies at Nzvimbo growth point in Mashonaland Central today.
Meanwhile his rival MDC-T leader Morgan Tsvangirai is expected to address at least 60-star rallies before elections on July 31.
