I found this grainy picture showing Mugabe leaving for Namibia last week on Tuesday. The photo was taken at Harare International Airport and it was the last time Mugabe was in Zimbabwe until last night, despite state media announcing on Wednesday that "he returned home last night", meaning Tuesday night, the same day this photo was taken. Harare, Zimbabwe, 26 August 2009 Robert "The Solution" Mugabe arrived back at Harare International Airport last night at exactly 6:30 on board an Air Zimbabwe plane. Mugabe, who has been in Dubai for medicals was met at the airport by Air Marshal Perance Shiri (Commander of the Air Force), Constantine Chiwengwa (Defence Forces Supreme Commander), Joice Mujuru (Vice-president) and the Secretary to the Cabinet, Misheck Sibanda. It now also emerges that State media misled the nation when they announced that Mugabe had returned home on the same day that he went to Namibia. A highly placed source informs me that Mugabe commandeered an A...

Robert "The Solution" Mugabe, and The Solutioness, Grace Mugabe, seen here at Heroes Acre about a month ago. His ministers revealed at Heroes Acre yesterday that they haven't the foggiest where the old man is. It just goes to show just hos supremely confident he is in his position. Any other leader as unpopular with the people as he is would not dare pull such a stunt Harare, Zimbabwe, 26 August 2009 Robert "The Solution" Mugabe was on the lips of even his ministers yesterday at the Heroes' Acre, where Vice-President Mujuru presided.

A Central Committee member contradicted him on the spot, however, saying Mugabe was in Singapore and then would go to Hong Kong to see his daughter...!! H...

Robert Mugabe with the effects of the botox injections still fresh. As you can see, if you compare with the photo below, which was taken two months later, the effects of the botox were wearing off, with Mugabe looking hollow-cheeked at Heroes Acre on July 11 President Robert Mugabe was flown out to Dubai for treatment and I understand his urologist, Awang Kechik, has also flown out to Dubai to meet him there. I had initially got information that he had flown to Singapore or Malaysia, but I can confidently reveal that he is in Dubai. His urologist is normally based in Malaysia. His daughter, Bona, was on the same flight to Dubai as the urologist. The presence of Mugabe's urologist points either to a recurrence of Mugabe's prostate problems, which have been remission since 2003, or to the fact that he is just playing it safe and wants a check-up to make sure he is still in fine fettle. ZANU PF sources are insisting that Mugabe is not in any danger at this point and that this is j...
