According to a report by the BBC, the president, who has been under house arrest for days, was seen at a graduation ceremony at Harare's Open University on Friday, November 17, 2017.
After arriving at the ceremony wearing a blue and yellow academic gown and cap, the president was welcomed with cheers from the crowd and joined in the singing of Zimbabwe's national anthem, before he announced the opening of the graduation ceremony, and the crowd applauded.
The 93-year-old's appearance is said to be an annual tradition, as the president continues to face intense pressure from the military and the public to step down after ruling for 37 years.
