Zimbabwe’s government said President Robert Mugabe, 90, did not fall down the steps from a podium, saying that he “managed to break the fall.”
Zimbabwe Information Minister Jonathan Moyo Thursday cited examples of leaders who have stumbled, from Jesus to George W. Bush, in an attempt to deny Mugabe fell down the stairs at Harare airport Wednesday.
