Mugabe was just kidding about cholera being cured

Remember when Robert Mugabe said Zimbabwe's cholera epidemic had ended, the same day the WHO said another 60,000 people were at risk? Apparently that was a hilarious joke:

[T]oday George Charamba, Mr Mugabe’s spokesman, told The Herald newspaper – a government mouthpiece – that the octogenarian president was using “sarcasm” when he made the statement.

ROFL! He sure got us good.

The Herald also has a truly batty article today, saying that the United States engineered the outbreak.
