I think Mugabe should be comforted by the fact that Mnangagwa and Chiwengwa are real great men in many ways that they have shown. On going events made me proud of Zimbabwe. I was talking to a Dutch friend and he said you Zimbabweans behave like first world sometimes. I said yes we are first world in Christ. We demonstrated with more civility than any one in the world would do. The respect for our elderly leader while sending him a message is good. Chiwengwa organise a formal hand over ceremony. Let us cease from denigrating the president on his way out.
Let them give him a dignified departure…at least he still a great man
Apart from the fact that M&C are both mass murderers who orchestrated definitively the 2008 stolen election. None of this would have happened if Mugabe had respected the will of the electorate in 2008 and stepped down (as he wanted to) but was persuaded by these 2 killers not to. Jonsina you are a gullible pathetic fool.
“Dignified departure”…? A “great man”..? After all the destruction, pain, and sorrow he has caused..??? You’re trying to inject some curious sort of sick humor, right..? Put him before the ICC, and see what kind of humor they find in Mugabe’s tenure. To save his sorry hide, I bet he’d start naming names… like Mnangagwa and Chiwenga. If he steps outside the country without diplomatic immunity, he’s a goner… one way or the other.
Mugabe and his family are thieving animals who should be brought to justice for 37 years of abuse, murder and tyranny. How can he amass $1.7 billion dollars in assets legitimately and get away with this ? No respect or dignity should be awarded for this cunning old thief in an Armani suit.
