        African leaders have a habit of staying in power forever. That's one problem that eats up Africa. I'm so proud of Zimbabwe.

        The end of the Mugabe era is a tale of two extreme realities. A leader who emancipated& developed his country then succumbed to the sins of incumbency and chewed up his legacy& strides made by his country. It's not a one-sided tale.

        #zimbabwe South Africans we must demand and make an audit of all the stolen money that we gained from Mugabe in Universities, Banks, Real Estate. All that money must go back to rebuild Zimbabwe.

        This ousting has a lot of pampering in it. Why all this romance with Mugabe? Are they cajoling him to resign? #Zimbabwe

        What do you want the poeple of Zimbabwe to do? Shut up and focus on the Nigerian corruption. Zimbos are building their country

        I am not even sure you are from Zim. If you were I would av called you a 'balless' citizen. How can one man rule you for almost a century?
