Mugabe also warned that no amount of external aid would lift Africa out of its quagmire.
"To tell you the truth, until we put our act together, organise, and start pulling our resources together, we will never prosper from any aid outside Africa," he told a rally on the fringes of an African Union summit in Ghana.
