Heartbreaking or proof of his party's cynicism?

This clip of ageing president Robert Mugabe shows him being led to his seat - and there's no mistaking his 93 years.

Mugabe is shown taking hesitant steps onto the podium for a rally in Chinhoyi on Saturday.

Amid cheers, the longtime Zimbabwe president appears to lean on an aide. He then sits gingerly down on a leather sofa as his wife Grace places his hat back on his head.

He's then shown with his eyes closed and head nodding - though his officials will no doubt dispute that he's actually dozing. Previously his spokesperson has claimed Mugabe is merely resting his eyes, which are fragile after cataract operations.
