President Robert Mugabe is back in Zimbabwe and "fit as a fiddle" despite reports that he had been on his deathbed during a trip to Singapore.
The 88-year-old is said by those watching his arrival to have "bounded" down the stairs of a charter plane that landed in Harare just after 7am yesterday.
He walked unaided, next to Joice Mujuru, the vice-president, down a red carpet to a car, pausing only to hop over a puddle and greet the assortment of ministers and military men who welcomed him home.
Three hours later, he chaired a weekly cabinet meeting, the rescheduling of which led to speculation that he had been taken ill during his trip. (© Daily Telegraph, London)
