        The rest of the world should have taken action ages ago. Mugabe is a murdering psychopath and it is a shame it has taken 30 years for this to happen. Let’s hope he is not simply replaced by another evil, self-serving dictator. #Zimbabwe

        Sorry bout that. It's just the first statement you made left no room for any nuances, which I would expect someone who lived in South Africa to understand. Not agree with of course, because this man has needed to go for years now.

        Grace Mugabe shld be jailed, she's undemocratic n I wonder how she became so powerful. A mere president typist turned wife.

        Gucci Grace is believed to be in Namibia and Mugabe most likely dead.
