Zimbabwean authorities on Thursday denied reports that President Robert Mugabe has extended his annual leave due to ill health.
"He is still on leave and how can he be seeking an extension when we have not come to the end of January?"
Charamba also denied reports that the veteran leader was unwell.
"As far as I know, he is well and enjoying his rest."
Mugabe, who turns 90 next month, has been on his traditional annual leave since early January, making one of his regular visits to Singapore.
The government previously announced that his deputy Joice Mujuru will be acting president until the end of the month.
Last week Mugabe was seen visiting his sister at a local hospital.
Mugabe's health has been the subject of much speculation in recent years, with suggestions that his visits to the Far East are for medical treatment. SCROLL DOWN TO LEAVE A COMMENT
