Mugabe feels lonely, says Msipa

Cephas Msipa has said that his old friend, President Robert Mugabe, is feeling lonely and nostalgic about the "good old days".

This comes after the two met in Gweru at the official handover of the Gushungo house that was donated to Mugabe by a local businesswoman.

Msipa said Mugabe was happy to meet him and they spoke about the old days.

The sense of respect between the two was evident throughout the handover ceremony despite the fact that Msipa has often been one of the fiercest critics of the president.
