It is a well known fact that Mugabe and Zanu (PF) authored our misery and object poverty, our former liberator turned tyrany, dictator, murderer and achitect of a pariah state.

    There is no need to give Mugabe 2 minutes as a president for our nation. The guy has done so much for us and we thank him, all we need now is for our country to move on from his grip. Hero, king or villain that ain’t the matter here, he just need to let go….

    It was very clear even before elections were held that ZANU-pf had done something already on the ground. This was observed from the recocealiatory nature of Mugabe when he was being interviewed as to how the whole election was going to go. Interestingly he was very receptive on agreeing to leave if he was to loose, which was not the nature of Mugabe.

    It is also natural for old African leaders never to realise that their usefulness is over, until death do them part.

    Regai vakasunungura nyika vatonge,.., kana zvarwadza tora gidi uzvitonge.., lm sure the feeling you all have is what they were feeling back then, and they rose up and liberated themselves. Mazuva iwayo there was no internet to sit around and sulk,. Balot kanganwai. U just dont have the guts to do what needs to be done! If you cant beat them join them.., This earth is about selfish accumulation of wealth., even where u say there is democracy, kana wakambodziidza nema black south african you will know what I mean. But Zuma and his nephews are getting richer, broking arms deals after arms deals.., ku looter ndizvo,. ndikawana mukana ini handimire!

      he may rule for the next three years after which we may start seeing a few weaknesses in him and if he will have good advicers, they will just tell him to rest and put a replacement.
