OK, it's a meme. You knew that, didn't you? Ed. scraped it off a story on the Zimbabwe NewsDay site. Where did the image of Comrade Bob falling originate? Have a look at this (from The Grauniad).
What happened was that Zimbabwe's nonagenarian President-for-Life tripped as he descended the platform after addressing supporters on his return from Addis Ababa, where he was installed as Chairman of the so-called African Union. Reporters and photographers who have been on death watch for at least a decade started clicking and tweeting immediately, but, alas, His Excellency got up again.
