HARARE (AFP) – Zimbabwe’s veteran leader Robert Mugabe once quipped that he would rule his country until he turned 100.
It may have been just another witty remark from the notoriously sharp-tongued leader, but at 89, Mugabe shows few signs of flaggingas he bids for a seventh turn in office.

A new constitution approved in March could see Mugabe serve another two terms — until he is 99 years old — but he could not hide his age on the campaign trail.
His trademark walkabout was dropped in favour of a wave to supporters from the back of a van and as he harangued his enemies from the podium, his elbows leaned heavily onit for support.
Mugabe’s health has been a topic of much speculation in recent years.
He makes frequent medical trips to Singapore — purportedly to treat cataracts — and a 2008 US diplomatic cable published by Wikileaks mentioned he had prostate cancer.
But Mugabe retains an iron self-confidence, telling the New York Times in a rare interview ahead of Wednesday’s election: “The 89 years don’t mean anything.”
“They haven’t changed me, have they? They haven’t withered me. They haven’t made me senile yet, no. I still have ideas, ideas that need to be accepted by my people.”

He has also taken aim at homosexuals, calling them “worse than pigs and dogs” and even fellow freedom fighter Nelson Mandela has notescaped his invective, being branded “too saintly, too good” to South Africa’s white population.
