    Did Zimbabwe's President Robert Mugabe go too far this time round? The military did not act in 2014 when he sacked his former Vice President Joice Mujuru, but moved with great speed after Emmerson Mnangagwa was sacked. Why? http://bbc.in/2hx4SM5 pic.twitter.com/X6P45SPzhX

        No matter how good a dancer you are,you must leave the stage! In fact the best time to leave office is when the people scream for you to continue!Is it not funny that we are blessed with cocoa but others have to put price tag on our resource!

        Gucci Grace was getting power drunk. Mnanganwa is ex-militiary. Plus, male chauvinism can't be ruled out.

        Because then Grace wasn’t running for office. She’s the worser devil. And other self-serving reasons. Who knows?

        Forstly Grace Mugabe is not a born Zimbabwean. She was born in South African. Secondly the military will not bow down to a women.

        Leaders need to learn, however tougher you are, when that time comes, you will GO,it doesn't need to be an elections, doesn't need to be an active coup, if all fails, then God can as well call you to be with him and this comes anytime.
