        Power is never sexually transmitted, If you doubt, ask Grace Mugabe. Her unending thirst for power brought down the inglorious regime of Robert. I hope African leaders can wake up. Next point of call for such is Cameroon and Uganda. Their time is near.

        The western agenda to subjugate africa has not changed. Be weary of Britain’s “sudden” renewed interest in Zimbabwe. #mugabe

        Sounds like a forced resignation. Mugabe should come out amd confirm this. We might end up waking up with an update from Zimbabwe State House stating that all these are just rumours. Where is Mugabe? 😂😂😂 #MugabeResigns

        We all know Emerson’s hands are stained with blood. When the dust has settled he must also step aside to give Zimbabweans a chance to thrive. NO ONE is bigger than Zimbabwe and everyone must know that.

        I would have wanted a govt without the participation of the former Vice President and his cronies because they all ruled with Robert Mugabe. Same system ,same ideology.

        Another dictator to take over. We don't believe me African leaders any more. They come to power as angels but once they are in, they turn into despots.
