Sleeping Mugabe video goes viral

President Robert Mugabe's latest trip to Asia has stirred fresh controversy after he was recorded apparently dozing in front of cameras during a Press briefing with his Japanese counterpart, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, with the video going viral on the Internet and social media.

Mugabe was in Japan at the invitation of Abe, who is seeking to deepen the two countries' trade relations, and yesterday, the Zimbabwean leader left that country, again for Singapore.

The 92-year-old leader was caught on camera and somewhat appeared like snoozing, as he stood by the podium. In the video, Mugabe walks slowly and unsteadily to the podium and then appears to snooze, while Abe delivers a statement to the Press.

It is not clear whether Mugabe also made a statement, as the video cuts at the end of Abe's speech before the two leaders shake hands.
