President
Robert Mugabe left Harare for the Far East on Saturday where he will
spend part of his annual break. It is expected he will spend some time
in Singapore where his doctor is based and undergo routine medical
checks.

Mugabe (89) left together with the First Family marking the start of
his annual holiday. In a statement yesterday, presidential spokesperson
George Charamba said the President is expected back in the country mid
January.
Vice President Joice Mujuru is the Acting President.
Mugabe is a frequent Far Eastern visitor and spends much of his time travelling back and forth for medical care.
Although ZANU PF continuously dismisses any reports that their ageing
leader has serious health problems, there is widespread speculation
that the care he is receiving is ‘specialist’ and related to prostate
cancer.
According to a leaked 2008 US diplomatic cable, then central bank
chief Gideon Gono told then-US ambassador James McGee that Mugabe had
prostate cancer and had been advised by doctors he had less than five
years to live.
