President Robert Mugabe may be hoping around, looking healthy, assured of a new five-year-term at the helm of the country but the Voice of America already has his obituary.
The first obituary was prepared before he even became president. It was prepared in April 1985 when he was still Prime Minister. The latest one was updated in 2008.

The Voice of America has a special radio station, Studio Seven,which is dedicated to Zimbabwe and broadcasts in all three major languages, English, Shona and Ndebele.
