That’s the headline in a privately owned Zimbabwean newspaper today. It reports that a 44-year-old police officer has appeared in court after being accused of saying President Robert Mugabe, 92, is “too old to rule”.
Thompson Joseph Mloyi is also alleged to have called Mr Mugabe’s wife, Grace, a prostitute, the newspaper reports.
He did not enter a plea when he appeared before a magistrate in the capital, Harare, yesterday, NewsDay says.
Mr Mloyi was freed on $100 (£70) bail, and is due to appear in court again on 15 March to stand trial for “insulting the office of the president”, it adds.
Mr Mugabe, the world’s oldest ruler, turned 92 last month.
