Robert Mugabe has fallen down a flight of
stairs on his return to Zimbabwe from
Ethiopia, in an incident captured on
camera despite the best efforts of his
security team.
The 90-year-old President of Zimbabwe
was making his way down from a raised
podium at the airport when he appeared
to miss a step and fell to the ground.

Mugabe, 90, was elected chairman
of the African Union and is set to
celebrate his 91st birthday on 21
February (AP)
Mugabe’s security team was quick to step
in, surrounding the president and helping
him the rest of the way to a park
limousine.
As the car sped away, officials turned
their attention to the TV cameras and
photographers present. A number of
journalists told the Associated Press they
were forced to delete their pictures of the
incident by security personnel.
The President was returning from a
successful trip to the summit of the 54-
nation African Union in Addis Ababa,
Ethiopia on 30 January. Despite the fact
that he will celebrate his 91st birthday on
21 February, Mugabe has been elected
chairman of the AU – a largely
ceremonial role.
Zimbabwe, a once-prosperous nation of
13 million people in southern Africa, has
struggled since Mugabe's government
began seizing white-owned farms in
2000. Mugabe is accused of using
widespread violence to win several
disputed elections, according to human
rights groups. The country suffered
hyperinflation until it abandoned its
currency for the US dollar in 2009.
Mugabe’s press spokesperson has yet to
provide comment on the incident.

Re: Robert Mugabe Falls Down Stairs, Tries To Get Photographer. by Nobody: 6:41am On Feb 06, 2015
Why? He would want to die in office cos he thinks political office is a traditional stool that one quits at death.

This Should serve as a good example to Buhari. Old people have got no business with politics... A reirement home on an isolated ranch with lots of cows and a hefty pension is what Buhari should be lobbying the government for. SMH!
