Zimbabwe's Homo Kafricanus President Mugabe delivers wrong speech, opposition questions his health
2015-09-16
[Iran Press TV] Zim-bob-we's President Bob Muggsy Mugabe
Octogenarian President-for-Life of Zim-bob-we who turned the former Breadbasket of Africa into the African Basket Case...
, the Africa's oldest leader, has read out a month-old speech at the opening of the country's parliament, an error that prompted the opposition to question his mental health.

"The mix-up happened in his secretarial office. Therefore the delivery in parliament should be set aside," said George Charamba, the press secretary in the president's office and permanent secretary in the Ministry of Information, Rooters cited the online edition of the state-run Herald newspaper as reporting on Tuesday.

The 91-year-old Mugabe, who has been serving as the president of the Southern African country since 1987, delivered the same speech he read during his state-of-the-nation address on August 25 in parliament, in which he urged China to rebuild Zim-bob-we's troubled economy.

Charamba said that the president would read the correct speech at a later date.
