HARARE, June 29 (Reuters) - Zimbabwe's veteran leader Robert Mugabe was inaugurated for a fresh five-year term on Sunday after being declared landslide winner of a presidential run-off in which he was the only candidate.

"I, Robert Gabriel Mugabe do swear that I will truly serve in the office of president, so help me God," Mugabe said to applause during a ceremony at his official residence in Harare.

The inauguration extends Mugabe's unbroken 28-year rule of the former British colony.
