Zimbabwe political opposition accuses President Robert Mugabe of sleeping at crucial meetings saying the 88 year old revolutionary leader has become a liability for the South African country.
Prof Welshman Ncube one of Mugabe’s ministers who also leads of one of the two Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) formations said Mugabe slept at the recent Southern African Development Community (SADC) summit in Mozambique.
The President had to be roused by Zambian President Michael Sata after he fell asleep a few minutes after the meeting that was meant to discuss the Zimbabwe crisis had began, the opposition politicians told party supporters.
“If you are strong and young, you sleep in a dignified way but his whole body collapses when he sleeps”.
He added, “You sleep as early as 9 am to a point that you are woken up by an equally old Sata. Who would tell other leaders to wake Mugabe while he was sleeping?
“Do you think that person can rule Zimbabwe? We need fresh leaders with strength who you do not have to look at and check if they are still awake.”
