Reported to be seriously ill.

Grace Mugabe out of the country also being treated for a medical emergency.

Mugabe Deathly ill – REPORT
‎There was drama Tuesday morning outside the official residence of Zimbabwe’s nonagenarian President, Robert Mugabe as he was reportedly hurriedly evacuated for medical treatment.

Sources living a stone’s throw from the Presidential residence described what they called a scene of pandemonium as aides scrambled to get Mugabe out of State House. The cavalcade that transported Mugabe out of his official residence was missing his signature black armoured Mercedes, Zim1‎. Instead security vehicles flanked
‎the President’s ambulance.



Normal protocols for the Presidential motorcade are that it travels at 74miles per hour (120km/hr)‎ in residential areas, however, witnesses living near Chancellor Avenue reported that the cavalcade was burning rubber at speeds exceeding 170 kilometres per hour (106miles).

A highly placed government source has said that the President was indeed taken ill and was exfiltrated to an as yet undisclosed medical facility within Zimbabwe. But efforts to obtain further confirmation from the President’s office were fruitless as the phone number was being abruptly cut when answered.

The source however went on to say that Mugabe, who has ruled Zimbabwe with an iron fist for almost 35 years, was too ill to be flown aboard and medical personnel were being flown into Zimbabwe to treat the 90 year old.

Robert Mugabe’s illness comes at a time when his partner, Grace is receiving emergency treatment abroad which the husband said was appendicitis.

It was not clear how Mugabe was later in the day as communications with State House were failing.

There is a bottle of bubbly in the fridge waiting to toast him to hell!

Well at least some good news today

So, will there be a bloody power grab in Zim, or is everything in place for the next despot to keep the status quo?

Cigar and lighter standing by.

I think a shot of Amarula would be most appropriate.

What do you think about hunting in Zim when Bob dies ? Business as usual or?

I hope the hospital has a gas explosion...

I bet Mnangagwa is licking his chops at the prospects....

Mugabe off to Addis Ababa for AU summit

Expected to take AU chair ... President Mugabe


PRESIDENT Robert Mugabe left Zimbabwe on Wednesday for Addis Ababa to attend an African Union summit at which he is expected to be appointed the continental body's new chairman, according to a report.

Mugabe was seen off at Harare International Airport by security chiefs and cabinet ministers, the Zimbabwe Broadcasting Corporation's Power FM reported.

The 90-year-old already chairs the 15-member Southern African Development Community.

Critics say Mugabe's well-known antagonism towards the West will not help Africa engage with key international partners to overcome problems like the Ebola outbreak in West Africa and the Boko Haram insurgency in Nigeria when he takes over as AU chair.

Zanu-PF spokesman Simon Khaya Moyo said at the weekend that Mugabe's imminent promotion to lead the continental body was “in recognition of his tremendous contribution as a tested leader not only in Zimbabwe but throughout the continent”.

Mugabe will take over from the current AU chairman, President Mohamed Ould Abdel Aziz of Mauritania.

Last week Mugabe, who thinks of himself as true African hero liked by all Africans, suffered serious embarrassment when scores of Zambians staged a demonstration shouting “Mugabe must go”.

The proud dictator was in Zambia to attend the inauguration of President elect Edgar Lungu.

President meets French investors, clarifies indigenisation
Wednesday, 28 January 2015 14:54

A French business delegation that is the country has acknowledged that lack of clarity regarding Zimbabwe’s 51/49 percent indigenisation policy was scaring away potential investors.

The delegation held a meeting with President Robert Mugabe at State House in Harare and applauded him for fully explaining that the policy only relates to resource based operations.

The French delegation comprising representatives of major global companies was accompanied by the French Ambassador to Zimbabwe, Mr Laurent Delahousse and Zimbabwe’s Finance Minister, Cde Patrick Chinamasa when they met President Mugabe.

Head of the delegation, Mr Gerard Wolf, who is also the Vice Chairperson of the Africa Committee of Medef, said French investors have expressed willingness to invest in Zimbabwe, adding that clarification proffered by Cde Mugabe will go a long way in boosting investor confidence.

Ambassador Delahousse promised President Mugabe in 2013 when he presented his credentials that France will kickstart a new relationship with Zimbabwe and today’s meeting was in fulfillment of that promise.

Cde Mugabe said Harare’s standoff with London is a bilateral issue and Zimbabwe has remained open to France.

Speaking to journalists after the meeting, Cde Chinamasa said the clarification made by President Mugabe relating to the 51/49 policy is set to attract meaningful foreign direct investment that supports sustained economic growth and development.

Medef represents French private sector at the international level and has over 800 000 companies across the globe affiliated to the organisation.

The investors have expressed interest in a coal project in Binga which will be a joint venture with the Chinese.


Meanwhile, President Mugabe left the country after the meeting and is in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia to attend the 24th ordinary summit of the African Union.

The summit is expected to discuss various issues relating to the further development and upliftment of Africa in various areas including infrastructure, health and economic development of the continent.

The summit is expected to examine the political situation on the continent and come up with home grown solutions.

It is being held under the theme: ‘2015 Year of Women Empowerment and Development’, as agreed to during the 23rd summit in Equatorial Guinea.

The summit will also receive updates on the progress that has taken place in the fight against Ebola, the establishment of the African Centre for Disease Control and Prevention, the AU Agenda 2063, the AU’s peace and security activities, the situation in the Middle East and other matters.

The President was seen off at the Harare International Airport by Chief Secretary to the President and Cabinet, Dr Misheck Sibanda, Minister of State for Harare province, Cde Mirriam Chikukwa, and service chiefs among others.

Looks like he got well.

At 90, it won't be for very long.

If you want to know who would like to kill you, pretend to die.

Milo said it right
Bobby is Old Fox

Although I will celebrate the day that Mugabe dies, I will fear the absolute chaos in the country until the next dictator finally consolidates his control and continues the ruination of that once fine land.

And hopefully we can toast his replacement to do a better job for Zimbabwe!!

All these continued media fuelled health issues are taken with a pinch of salt. The illnesses that he has reported to be suffering from should have killed him 43 times over, and again !!!!

Dreams do come true, but in their own time.

Surely there was a vet clinic closer that they could have dropped him of at, no on second thoughts that's a dis-service to animals.

I have a 50yr old bottle of find Scottish whiskey that will be open to celebrate that monkey's death, bastard!!!
