President still fit, says First Lady

“What you are telling me is that you under­stand my husband. As intelligent as he is . . . you know sometimes when I want to say something to him I am so scared because I know the answers I am going to get.
“When he stands up to speak at any moment, even now, impromptu, if you say, Mr President, make a speech, he will do it amazingly.
“Are you then saying he carries a tape recorder so that he listens to me first before he speaks? No, do not do that to the Presi­dent.”
Amai Mugabe narrated how President Mugabe is not only active in office, but even at home working up as early as 5am depend­ing on the schedule of the day.
“It is my husband who gets up out of bed first,” she said.
“Obviously, because he is the man of the house, he has to open the doors for the work­ers to come in. He does that everyday. I do not have to get up.
“He wakes up at around 5 o’clock and wakes the children up. I always tell him that he is spoiling them, they are grown ups.
“I am telling you, he will go to their rooms, knock on the door, enter, wake them up, run the tap for them.”
Amai Mugabe said she is a strict mother who ensures that her children are aware that they should prepare well for their future.
