Mugabe turns 90: Nine things you may not know
Robert Mugabe is turning 90 and a weekend of celebrations is planned in Zimbabwe to celebrate the president's long life. Born in the village of Kutama, south-west of the capital, he was educated by Jesuits and went on to become a teacher before joining the liberation struggle, spending 11 years in prison and becoming Zimbabwe's first leader in 1980.
Here are nine things you may not know about him - and which may hold the key to his longevity.
"I fall sick if I don't exercise," Mr Mugabe said three years ago. Needing little sleep, he gets up between 04:00 and 05:00 every morning to exercise while, according to a close source, listening to the BBC World Service. But he's not fond of the gym machines his wife has installed in state house and prefers to follow his own regime: "In prison we had no equipment, we just had ourselves and that's what I still do today."
Another secret to his long life may be that he prefers his sadza - Zimbabwe's staple food - to be made the traditional way from unrefined grains, which is much healthier than the ubiquitous white version of the maize dish. Plus he doesn't smoke, although is known to have some wine with dinner.
Despite constant rumours of ill health - a Wikileaks cable suggested he has prostate cancer - his health and political career appear robust. Cataracts are his only confirmed ailment - he had an operation to remove one this week. "I have died many times - that's where I have beaten Christ. Christ died once and resurrected once," he said when he turned 88.
Although he was brought up a Catholic - his mother was very religious - he said in an interview with South Africa's public broadcaster SABC some years ago that he was not a devout Christian.
He has long professed his love of cricket. The patron of the Zimbabwe Cricket association, his official residence is right next to the Harare Sports Club, which allows the president to keep a watchful eye on the wicket during national matches.
"Cricket civilises people and creates good gentlemen," Mr Mugabe said several years after Zimbabwe became independent. " I want everyone to play cricket in Zimbabwe; I want ours to be a nation of gentlemen."
As a boy, Robert Mugabe was a "keen and good" tennis player, said a student teacher at the Catholic mission where he went to school. But when he lost he would throw his racket onto the ground. "You would see his head fall and his shoulders drop down and he would leave the court without saying anything to anybody," Brother Kazito Bute told Heidi Holland in her book Dinner With Mugabe.
He's admitted he was a poor footballer when young, but now enjoys watching the game, being a self-confessed Chelsea and Barcelona fan. "When I watch soccer, I do not want anyone to disturb me," he said in 2012. "Even my wife knows where to sit because while they are scoring in the field I will also be scoring at home, kicking everything in front of me."
The late Zimbabwean politician Edgar Tekere told the BBC's Brian Hungwe that when organising the independence celebrations in 1980, Mr Mugabe wasn't keen on having Bob Marley perform. The prime-minister-in-waiting is said to have stated that British pop star Cliff Richard was much more to his taste. Journalist Wilf Mbanga, who knew Mr Mugabe well in the 1970 and 1980s, said country singer Jim Reeves was another favourite of the president.
Others have speculated that Mr Mugabe would have wanted the more clean-cut Jamaican singer Jimmy Cliff to perform at the festivities on 18 April 1980. His dislike of Rastafarians is well-known - he once warned young Zimbabweans: "In Jamaica, they have freedom to smoke marijuana, the men are always drunk. Men want to sing and do not go to colleges, some then dreadlock their hair. Let's not go there."
Saville row suits, with matching tie and handkerchief, are what he is most comfortable in - and were his trademark until his former spin doctor Jonathan Moyo gave him a makeover in the early 2000s and he started campaigning in brightly coloured shirts emblazoned with his face and sports caps. Now his signature has inspired a designer fashion range.
But his Zimbabwean tailor Khalil "Solly" Parbhoo says: "He still dresses like an English gentleman - that's always been his style." He told Heidi Holland: "His suits were always made in London or I think somewhere in Malaysia, now that he isn't welcome in Britain anymore."
Mr Mugabe's political awakening happened while in Ghana, where he was a teacher and met his first wife, Sally Hayfron. He arrived a year after pan-Africanist politician Kwame Nkrumah had led the Gold Coast to independence in 1957, the first sub-Saharan country to throw off the shackles of colonial rule. He said he was inspired by their liberation encapsulated in Ghana's Highlife music.
On his return home two years later, he began politicising people. "I started telling people… how free the Ghanaians were, and what the feeling was in a newly independent African state," he said in an interview in 2003. "I told them also about Nkrumah's own political ideology and his commitment that unless every inch of African soil was free, then Ghana would not regard itself as free."
In total Mr Mugabe has seven degrees, first graduating from South Africa's University of Fort Hare, where Nelson Mandela studied, with a bachelor of arts. He did his other degrees by distance learning - two of them while he was in prison - in administration, education, science and law.
He has also boasted of leading a party with "degrees in violence" - in a warning to trade unionists before strikes in 1998. A violent crackdown on opposition activists amid the political turmoil of the last decade has led several universities to revoke honorary degrees awarded to him for his achievements. Queen Elizabeth II also stripped him of his honorary knighthood as "a mark of revulsion at the abuse of human rights and abject disregard for the democratic process in Zimbabwe".
He has three children with his second wife Grace Marufu, his former secretary. The couple's third child, Chatunga, was born in 1997, a year after they were married.
His first son, Nhamodzenyika, died of malaria at the age of three in Ghana. Mr Mugabe, then a prisoner of the Rhodesian government, was refused permission to join his wife Sally in Accra for the funeral.

16 Reasons to Have Daily Sex
Stressed, burdened with life’s difficult problems and fear that your health is declining? Then sex is the answer to happiness, longevity and a healthy body. You don’t agree? Well, here is a list of the health benefits of sex, so do it daily to experience complete pleasure. These are 16 reasons to have sex today!
1. De-stress
Sex helps you reduce
stress. When deep breathing exercises fail to de-stress you, sex will do the
needful.
During sex your body
produces dopamine, a substance that fights stress hormones, endorphins, aka
“happiness hormones” and oxytocin, a desire-enhancing hormone secreted by the
pituitary gland.
In a study, published in
the Public Library of Science journal, three neuroscience researchers conducted
a test on male rats and found that the sexually active rats were less anxious
than rats with no sexual activity.
2. Great Form of
Exercise
Making love is a form of
physical activity. During intercourse, the physiological changes in your body
are consistent with a workout. You must have noticed that the respiratory rate
rises, which means you get tired. Hence, you burn calories. If you have sex
three times a week for 15 minutes (but we know you can do better than that)
you’ll burn about 7.500 calories in a year. That’s the equivalent of jogging 75
miles! Heavy breathing raises the amount of oxygen in your cells, and the
testosterone produced during sex keeps your bones and muscles strong.
3. Lowers high blood
pressure
Hugs and sex can improve
your blood pressure. Sex reduces diastolic blood pressure, that is, the bottom
number while reading blood pressure.
Researchers with the
University of Paisley conducted an experiment on the same. They concluded that
sex improves blood pressure.
4. Builds your immunity
Trying to fight the
sniffles? Sex is the answer to fight cold and other health problems; sex can
boost your immunity.
Immunoglobulin A, an antigen
that fights the flu increases when the frequency of sex increases.
5. Makes You Look
Younger
Making love three times
a week can make you look 10 years younger, claims a Scottish researcher. “It’s
good for you to have good sex,” says David Weeks, a clinical neuropsychologist
at the Royal Edinburgh Hospital, whose study on the effects of sex on aging
appears in his book,Secrets of the Superyoung.
6. Healthy heart
Sex helps you burn
calories but it can also improve your heart. Sex will take care of stroke and
heart attacks, you just have to enjoy the moment.
Scientists with New
England Research Institute examined the effect of sex on the heart. The study
concluded that men are 45 percent less likely to experience cardiovascular
diseases. But the study fails to study the effect of sex on a woman’s heart.
7. Pain relief
Pleasure is the measure
to beat out the pain. Do you experience migraines and body pain? Well sex is
the answer. But if you experience back pain, it is best to consult a doctor.
Dr. George E. Erlich, an
arthritis specialist from Philadelphia conducted a study on the link between
arthritis and sex. He narrows down that patients who engaged in sex experienced
less pain.
8. Builds trust and
intimacy
The act of sex spikes
the hormone oxytocin; this hormone is responsible for your happiness and love.
If your feel your relationship is falling out, there is trust or you’re worried
that your partner will stray away, then sex will dispel these doubts. The
hormone oxytocin builds trust and brings couples closer, and cupid too.
9. Less chances of
cancer
Regular ejaculation
reduces your chances of developing prostate cancer. In an Australian study men
who ejaculated 21 times a month were least likely to develop cancer. It is
further supported by other researches that sexual intercourse reduces the risk
of prostrate cancer.
10. Stronger pelvic
muscles
Sex involves the use of
several muscles; hence regular sexual intercourse can help you develop stronger
pelvic muscles. Further, since the act of sex involves a range of muscles, it
also helps strengthen these muscles – for ex: quads, your core, and the upper
back. Through regular sex, you can also maintain a strong bladder and bowel
function.
Strong muscles, calorie
burner, improves heart health – sex seems to take care of you.
11. Prostate Protection
Most of the fluid you
ejaculate is secreted by the prostate gland. If you stop ejaculating, the fluid
stays in the gland, which tends to swell, causing lots of problems. Regular
ejaculation will wash those fluids out and ensure the well-being of your
prostate until old age. Problems may also occur when you suddenly change the
frequency of ejaculations.
12. Induces sleep
After that great, lovely
workout you are bound to get good sleep. But guess what? Sex works the same way
as exercise. The increased heart rate leads to increased post-coital
relaxation. Sex could be the next thing for insomniacs! So what really happens:
- Sex can relax you,
hence if you are already tired, the act of sex will induce sleep.
- When men ejaculate
they become lethargic, this can make them sleepy.
13. Regular periods
Apparently sex can
improve your menstrual cycle. Sex regulates hormones, which in turn regulate
the menstrual cycle. Sex reduces stress, which is one of the reasons women miss
their periods. Sex seems like a better option than pills.
14. Prevents Erectile
Dysfunctions
Fifty per cent of men
older than 40 suffer from erectile dysfunctions and all young men fear the
moment when they won’t be able to get it up any more. The best medicine against
impotence is…sex. An erection keeps the blood flowing through your penile
arteries, so the tissue stays healthy. Plus, doctors compare an erection to an
athletic reflex: the more you train the more capable you are to perform.
15. Live longer
A healthy heart,
stronger muscles, increased circulation of oxygen and happiness are some of the
factors that add life to the years and as a result – years to your life.
A study published in the
British Medical Journal reveals that men who engaged in sex often live twice as
those who rarely had any action.
16. Healthier semen
If you’re trying to
conceive, you increase the volume of semen if you have sex regularly. Regular
sex replaces old sperms from the testicles. If there is a natural build of sperms
it can lead to DNA damage.
