Mugabe "Dying" In Singapore Hospital

Mugabe close to death: reports

Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe is reportedly fighting for his life in a Singapore hospital with his wife and close family by his bedside.

The 88-year-old dictator, who is believed to be suffering from prostate cancer, flew to Singapore late last month on what his aides described as a "private visit".

A senior member of Mr Mugabe's Zanu PF party told The Zimbabwe Mail that Mr Mugabe was enjoying an Easter break with his family in Asia, and denied that he was seeking treatment for a medical condition.

However, rumours are swirling that the ageing leader, now in power for three decades, is seeking treatment for prostate cancer following several bouts of therapy in Asia in recent years.

Mr Mugabe was said to be close to death last night and was surrounded by close family, including his wife, Grace, Britain's Daily Mail reported.

It came as sources close to Mr Mugabe told The Daily Telegraph in London that Mr Mugabe had reached a secret "gentleman's agreement" to hand over power in Zimbabwe to his feared Defence Minister, Emmerson Mnangagwa, a former spy chief nicknamed "The Crocodile" and known for his ruthless style.

Mr Mnangagwa was widely blamed for the brutality following the 2008 presidential election after Mr Mugabe's rival, Morgan Tsvangirai, took an early lead in the voting.

Mr Mugabe's aides said he was also in Singapore to oversee arrangements for his daughter Bona to begin post-graduate university study, The Zimbabwe Mail reported...

But he might be getting an inkling of what that means right now.

You may say that but funny how these tyrants always get taken by karma in their old age. A trial and humiliation would be karma.

Absolutely. Sooner or later both Red and I will go to heaven. Grin

God grant me the patience to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can and, above all, the wisdom to tell the difference.
