STORYLINE:
Zimbabwe's President Robert Mugabe arrived home from Asia on Thursday morning as his party denied reports he had suffered a health emergency.
The eighty-eight year old was met at Harare International Airport by party leaders and military chiefs under normal protocol. He did not speak to waiting reporters.
Mugabe's party dismissed reports that he had been gravely ill as "a lot of hogwash" by hostile Western media organisations.
Mugabe landed in a private jet chartered by a diamond mining company.
The state airline he routinely used was grounded by debts in January.
Mugabe is expected to chair a ministerial meeting later on Thursday, two days later than first scheduled.
He's made ten trips to Singapore in the past 16 months, reportedly for medical treatment.
Rumoured to be under treatment for prostate cancer, he has called for elections this year and has been nominated as his party's only presidential candidate.
Mugabe's office said that he left Harare on March 31 to supervise postgraduate studies for his 22-year-old daughter Bona in Hong Kong.
Mugabe has appeared robust at recent public appearances.
In broadcasts marking his 88th birthday in February he said he was "as fit as a fiddle."
He joked then he had been resurrected more often than Jesus Christ after detractors frequently pronounced him dead.
