A British television channel, Channel 4 News, today broadcast a 28-second video showing President Robert Mugabe and his wife Grace entering into what it said was Gleneagles Hospital in Singapore. Mugabe does not say anything. Only Grace pleads with the cameraman: “No no no, don’t. You shouldn’t take photo.” To which the cameraman responds: “Why, this is a public place”. The channel does not state when the video was taken. There has been a lot of speculation about Mugabe’s latest visit to Singapore, with some reports, including the Channel 4 one, asking if Mugabe was going into hospital for cancer treatment or not. One report even claimed that it was not Mugabe who was ill, but Grace. Mugabe is 90 years old.
