‘Dozing’ Mugabe seeks eye treatment

HARARE: Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe is seeking advanced treatment in Singapore for eye problems caused by old age that can make it look as if he has dozed off in public, his spokesman said. The 93-year-old Mugabe is often caught on camera appearing to be dozing at public events, and his health in general is a hot topic before next year’s presidential election, which he is expected to contest. He left for Singapore on Monday. Photos and videos of Mr Mugabe apparently nodding off have gone viral but his spokesman said he was merely “resting his eyes”.
