Sleeping at a graduation ceremony
Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe on friday made his first public appearance and fell asleep at the graduation ceremony at Zimbabwe Open University in the capital Harare.
Twittersphere say they don't blame him since he has had a “long week” with the military take over in his country.

Is he stepping down?
Zanu PF senior officials said they will hold an urgent meeting today to draft a resolution to dismiss President Robert Mugabe at the weekend. They've warned that they will lay the ground for his impeachment next week if he refuses to step down. However, reports have surfaced that Mugabe said he will step down next year, while the military wants him out right now. Is his refusal to step down a 'last card' to retain power?
