        Hmm.... every man has a price! Pride goes before fall! Apart from that, 37 years as president is more than enough for any wise thinking 92 year old man! When does he want to enjoy retirement? He should have taken lessons from history and Mandela! Shame on him n his accomplices!

        Ask Ndebeles about Special Forces Fith Brigade. 90% unemployment, 2.5m Zimbabwe people in SA to support families. Only reason is because Mugabe stayed undemocratically in power.

        The mission was to flush out criminals around the President and mission was successfully accomplished so Mugabe is free to continue with mandate given by Zimbabwean. @StandardKenya @AJEnglish #mugabe
