Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe, 93, has traveled to
Singapore to receive medical treatment, state media reported on Tuesday.
According to The Herald, Mr. Mugabe left Zimbabwe on Monday
to receive a “routine medical check-up” in Singapore. He is scheduled to return
on Saturday for the burial of former Zimbabwean Chief Justice Godfrey
Chidyausiku.
AFP reports the Zimbabwean strongman, who has ruled the
country since 1980 and is seeking reelection next year, routinely leaves the
country for medical treatment. His last medical vacation was in March.
Mr. Mugabe regularly falls asleep during meetings and has
difficulty walking. But despite the president’s old age, the ruling Zimbabwe
African National Union - Patriotic Front (ZANU-PF) nominated him to run in the
2018 presidential elections.
His trip to Singapore comes after Nigerian President
Muhammadu Buhari flew to London in order to receive medical attention for the
second time this year.
