        He owes his demise to his refusal to leave when the ovation was loudest, and to his Jezebel wife who estranged him from his best friends and compatriots.

        He estranged himself from the people when he started brutalizing and killing them back in the 80's, thats long before he married his Jezebel and few years after he took power.

        Not quite. Majority of the Zimbabwean people loved and revered him up until he married his adulterous and controlling typist-turned wife.

        Or it’s just a matter of your own opinion, because I heard from many Zimbabweans saying how great @Mugabe was.

        Fair enough. And you, don’t make up a whole country either.

        People like dead people. After his death, he will have a museum dedicated to him and his quotes will become biblical.
