The Air Zimbabwe Boieing 767 (Z-WPF) Flight UM1, believed to be President Mugabe's plane, landed at the Harare international Airport from Dubai this morning at 7:58am.
Witnesses at the airport said the president looked cheerful and told people he had been away attending to family matters. Mugabe was expected to address a youth meeting at his ruling party's headquarters later on Saturday.
His absence had raised the level of uncertainly in this southern African country already in economic and political turmoil. Frustration has been rising in Zimbabwe over a plummeting economy and allegations of government corruption.
This week there have been rumours on social media that the 92-year-old leader might have passed on, Zanu-PF dismissed these claims as untrue.
