Guess who this is?

Former President Robert Mugabe, who was at the helm of Zimbabwe for 37 years, the first seven as Prime Minister, has aged so much in the two years since being ousted of power that he is almost unrecognizable.

Mugabe, who at 93, was so fit that he could challenge some people 20 years his juniors with “chematsenganzungu”, now looks his really age, 95 years plus as the undated picture above shows.

Just shows why he was clinging on to power. It also had a lot to do with his health and how he looked.
