        It's a monarchy not a democracy. They're both politics but they are not the same. He was a president, not a king.

        That's not how monarchy works. The job is yours until you die, she's actually following her rules. Prime ministers in England are the fair comparison and they leave when they are supposed to.

        Yes. Exactly. That's how rules work? English people can revolt and remove the monarchy like the French did, then the rules will change. Do you think you're contradicting me or something?

        This always happens with African leaders they start well and after some time they fall of the wagon because they are power hungry and this trend needs to change

        Zimbabwe must hold free, fair, transparent and credible democratic elections. The political players must hold dialogue to reform the electoral body and implement a mutually agreeable plan.

        He may have been bad for Zimbabwe but army coup could be worse. History has shown repeatedly that army takeover has resulted in authoritarian leaders or quasi government that is ineffective to lead the democratic country. Cost may outweighs benefits.
