        His departure will be a breath of fresh air for the wonderful people of Zimbabwe. He has caused them so much pain. People’s power is inevitable.

        Democratically elected to serve constitutional terms. As opposed to the despot who has changed the constitutional in a myriad of ways to stay in power. Depreciation of your currency, hyperinflation and mass exodus of Zimbabweans. Which planet are you on sir?

        A dictator for 37years. Anyone who thinks this guy is a hero is crazy. I helped an old lady when I was 10, does that mean I can loot & pillage for 30yrs & still be considered a nice guy?

        A true leader will bow out when the ovation is loudest. History will never list Robert Mugabe as a revolutionary hero, but a disgraced and failed leader. He squandered every good will, by his imposition on Zimbabweans. Good riddance to a leader that held his citizens hostage
