Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe needed assistance from First Lady Grace to walk up and down the podium during proceedings to lay to rest national hero and former High Court judge Andrew Mutema.
Mugabe had to take a few breaks to walk the just over hundred metres from his car to the high table with Grace holding his hand.
He gave one of his shortest speech at the podium and quickly returned to the high table.
Later he admitted he is feeling his age.
“After the Chaplin General (Joseph Nyakudya) spoke about us having plans but some of them not coming to fruition. I was shocked it is not something we think of every day but we have plans of what we would want to do or to happen.
“Mutema was a young man and believe you me I know what I am talking about when I say he as young. I am 91 and soon to be 92,” he said.
