The Deputy Director of Information for the Zimbabwe African National Union-Patriotic Front Psychology Mazivisa today said President Robert Mugabe was fit as a fiddle and the party was preparing to celebrate his 90th birthday next month. He was responding to rumours spread by the faceless facebook character Baba Jukwa who claimed yesterday that Mugabe had collapsed. Baba Jukwa said if Mugabe had indeed died, it would be at least six months before the nation was told. “Certainly there is nothing new about these reports as we hear about them every year. Our president in very much alive and we will be celebrating his birthday in a month’s time. He is as fit as a fiddle,” Mazivisa said.
