Mugabe catches his death-wishers offside again

President Robert Mugabe has once again quashed rumours about his death by returning home and proclaiming: ““Yes, I was dead. It’s true I was dead. I resurrected like I always do. Once I get back to my country, I am real.”

The online media was awash with stories about Mugabe’s death when he left the Southern African Development Conference summit in Swaziland and went to Dubai.

Mugabe said he had indeed gone to Dubai to check on his son, Robert Junior, who is studying there.

“Ndakanga ndaenda kunogadzirira mwana kuDubai,” Mugabe was quoted by The Sunday Mail as saying.

This is not the first time the media has reported about the death of Mugabe, who is now 92 and is only six months away from turning 93.

At his 88^th birthday, Mugabe joked: “The day will come when I will become sick. As of now I am fit as a fiddle….I have died many times. That’s where I have beaten Christ. Christ died once and resurrected once. I have died and resurrected and I don’t know how many times I will die and resurrect.”

He even wondered just before his 90th birthday how he had survived this long when the siblings that he had looked after had all died.

A lot of people are also wondering how he has survived, especially in the face of the Western onslaught on him.

The Insider has a very unusual explanation of how he has survived this long. Here it is.
