I should think that making his wife his successor was a final straw for some people.   Not another 40 years of Mugabe rule.

Mugabe is a nasty piece of work, hopefully the regime which will succeed him will be better.

Africvan military regimes have rarely been any closer to democratic than Mugabe's.

The random V in Africvan?


Don't take the piss - that is what I was saying sorry for!

I blame my senility on a overindulgence in jacket potatoes with cheese and beans - I think it is the beans that do the damage! The resultant gas blurs my vision resulting in poor proofreading!

Mugabe has been sacked. The vice president, whom he sacked the other week, has now been appointed President. Hopefully he will do a much better job of ruling the country.

By some reports the proposed replacement is a bigger bastard than Mugabe. Not known as the Croco0dile for nothing apparently

We can hope.
However, his track record suggests otherwise.
