Photo of 'Scruffy' Mugabe Surfaces

Zimbabweans on social media have been looking at photos of their leader with more than a bit of bemusement. President Robert Mugabe who has almost always been seen in public dressed in western designer suits seemed to have "lost" his blazer, some Zimbabweans suggest.

@ali_naka: "The man should be resting or sitting under a mango or guava tree in the village."

Presidential spokesperson, George Charamba weighed in saying Mugabe was wearing a Cuban shirt.
