Shortly after been elected as African Union chairman in Ethiopia last week, Robert Mugabe, the 90-year-old longtime President of Zimbabwe, missed a step and plunged to the ground. This happened after Mugabe addressed his supporters at Harare International Airport on Wednesday.
Though the moment was captured by paparazzi, government officials forced them to remove the images from the media.
However, many creative minds have come up with hilarious photoshopped images of the president, to prove that it is difficult to hide something from the public in this age of social media, where people are ready to take a potshot at anyone or anything.
#MugabeFalls has become a trending topic on social media platforms.
