        Because, Mugabe is the last man standing with that kind of stubbornness, history is turning pages on him, he even wants to tear them off

        The Zim Generals are out of their element playing politics. They should remove Mugabe, organize a collision gov, & return to Baracks. Mugabe will out manoeuvre them the longer they negotiate politics. You think he never thought a coup might happen? Wrong. #Zimbabwe

        We don't need a dictator as a mouthpiece for Africa. He has destroyed Zimbabwe and now needs to step aside, or be put aside, so that the country can be rebuilt.

        Yes, this view has destroyed the continent, especially in the area of governance.

        I think VP Joseph N Boakai of Liberia should follow suit to maintain his respect in Liberia & Africa after working as VP for 12yr

        #RespectYourElders ? Sorry, ce sont des foutaises ! #Mugabe n’est qu’un dictateur sanguinaire à ses heures, aucune norme culturelle ne doit être invoquée en dehors de l’exigence démocratique.

        Respect the constitution. If you didn't want him this long, you would have been brave enough to challenge him at points where he altered the document legally!
