Johannesburg (South Africa):
Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe, whose health has been the subject of intense speculation over the years, fuelled more hysteria about his wellbeing when he showed up at a Johannesburg clinic on Thursday.
However, there were conflicting statements over the reason for his visit. Junior hospital staff at Garden City Clinic said Mugabe, who turns 82 next month, had reported for a routine medical check-up in the neurology department.
They said he had visited the hospital for treatment and check-ups before. But Garden City's assistant general manager, Linda Gnade, was adamant that Mugabe had been there to see a sick friend.
