The Globetrotting addicted Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe who left Zimbabwe at the start of his annual leave to Singapore has reportedly since left that country to his China friends amid complaints by opposition parties and citizens that he and his wife were wiping away the little cash for the country while the nation is wallowing in serious cash crisis.
Media reports states that the nonagenarian, who is on a month-long vacation, left Harare for Singapore last month with his entire family and a large entourage of security aides. Singapore is Mugabe's usual destination where he receives treatment for an eye cataract.
Mugabe's deputy, Emmerson Mnangagwa, said he tried to consult his superior on the hero status of a late former provincial governor Peter Chanetsa who passed on in Harare on New Year's Day, but his efforts were in vain.
The acting president told mourners at Chanetsa's home located in Harare's leafy Borrowdale suburb that he had tried to contact Mugabe at his Singapore base but was advised that he was now in China.
