observer Posted November 21, 2017 Report Share Posted November 21, 2017 - long live the (new) Despot. Magabe goes after running his economy into the ground and allegedly commiting HR crimes along the way; but who's going to replace him ? His one time vice-President, equally complicit in his alleged crimes and destructive policies, fully supported by the Zanu PF Party. And is it possible that the opposition politicians will offer anything better in terms of democracy and anti-corruption ? So perhaps the euphoria is premature ?

In an interview in 1980, after Mugabe had taken power, Ian Smith said “He will be there for at least 30 years, murder or imprison all of his opponents and bankrupt the country” . Not a bad prediction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
