Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe is vacationing in Malaysia, to where he has also transferred funds, according to South Africa's Saturday Star newspaper.
| I didn't know a suitcase could carry that many Zim-bucks ... |
| Nah. Zim-bucks are for the "little people"... |
It said Mugabe's wife, Grace - who went with their four children to Malaysia before Christmas - had organised a transfer of 92,000 dollars from Zimbabwe's central bank.
| Perhaps that's the last $92,000 remaining in Zim and he's leaving. |
| $92,000 doesn't spend far in Malaysia ... |
Mugabe, who followed on last Monday, was using the vacation for routine health checks, while his personal doctor had also helped organise transfer of personal funds to Malaysia and also Singapore.
The 84-year-old's vacation, due to last a month, comes as the former model African state endures the toughest economic and political crisis in its history. |
