Robert Mugabe will continue as President of Zimbabwe until
he is 100, governing from a “special wheelchair”, his wife
has said.
Grace Mugabe, herself a cabinet minister, said in a speech
over the weekend that while the 91-year-old’s mind might
be willing, increasingly his body may not be. But that that
isn't going to stop him.
According to reports in the Zimbabwean press, Mr Mugabe
has recently had trouble walking, as his advanced years
begin to catch up with him.
“We are going to create a special wheelchair for President
Mugabe until he rules to 100
years, because that is what we want,” Mrs Mugabe said.
“That is the people’s choice. We want a leader that respects
us.”
The people will get the chance to voice their opinion in 2018
when Zimbabwe next goes to the polls to decide who rules
them. Mr Mugabe, who has suffered a number of
embarrassing public stumbles in recent months, has already
been declared as the Zanu-PF candidate despite the fact
that he will be 94 at the time of the election. Mr Mugabe has
been President in Harare since 1980.
Mrs Mugabe did not give details about quite how the
wheelchair would be special, but vowed to push it herself.
The 50-year-old Mrs Mugabe has herself been mentioned as
a possible successor to her husband, who has insisted he
will not retire.
