Zimbabwe's 91-year-old President Robert Mugabe read the wrong speech at
the opening of a new session of parliament on Tuesday, repeating an
address he gave to the legislature last month. The veteran leader read
the 25-minute-long speech through to the end, apparently unaware that he
was delivering the same text he presented during his state of the
nation address last month.
"There has been a mix-up of speeches resulting in a situation where...
the president delivered the wrong speech," said presidential spokesman
George Charamba."The mix-up happened in his secretarial office,"
Charamba was quoted as saying in the state-owned Herald newspaper's
online edition. "The error is sincerely regretted and corrective
measures are being considered."
