        SADC must not reverse the gains of the generals. Mugabe must go amicably or be thrown out forcibly. We have lived without a constitution and removing Mugabe cannot suddenly need a constitution.

        He will try to cling to power because of the gukurahundi genocide. His wish was to die in power & avoid prosecution. He ain't winning! !!pic.twitter.com/Z820u491A3

        Physically do you see mugabe as on who has the strength, zeal and power to cling to power? If you ask me I'd say he stopped ruling long ago
