Yesterday tuesday,91 year old Zimbabwe President,Robert Mugabe read out a wrong speech at the opening of parliament,an error which the main opposition quickly used to question whether he is of sound mind.Mugabe who is termed as the oldest ruler in Africa since 1980,delivered the same speech he gave on August 25,pinning his hopes on China t help revive Zimbabwe's struggling economy.Mugabe finished the speech without interruption and his spokesman blamed officials,adding that the president would read the correct speech at a later date.His spokesman George Charamba said ''The mix up happened in his secretarial office.Therefore the delivery in Parliament should be set aside''.But the main opposition Movement for Democratic Change {MDC},which is critical of Mugabe's long rule,said the blunder called into question his fitness to hold office.Mugabe shows no visible signs of illness and has denied reports that he suffers from prostate cancer,and he also dismissed a fall at Harare airport on 4th of April as a simple slip.
