        God must've had a removal plan that involved a bullet and a coffin that prompted Mugabe to resign quickly. Stubborn old fool.

        Horrible optics for the people of Zimbabwe. Mugabe's pals in government provided him a platform to leave the stage arrogantly. To slap the people of Zimbabwe in the face. The dictator is unapologetic and defiant. I hope he gets prosecuted.

        Mugabe won't have dominated Zimbabwean politics for so long without the ruling party and the military who now claim to be a force for change.

        Easy for us to have our opinions. We did not live under White minority rule. What difference a day makes just a mere 24 hrs. Let see what the new brings.
