Zimbabwe president fell down in public

The president of Zimbabwe, Robert Mugabe who will turn 91 later this month, made the headlines recently after he misinterpreted his steps at the Harare airport and took a tumble while getting down from a platform after addressing his supporters.

Mugabe was coming back from Ethiopia where he had been chosen the chairman of the African Nation. His aides quickly hurried to his rescue and he was whisked away in his waiting limousine.

Mugabe has been serving as the president of Zimbabwe since 1987 and the nation in southern Africa has seen serious economic hardships under his rule. He was the prime minister of the country for seven years before that.
