Mugabe's problem was pandering to his wife. Some women are like viruses, destroying everybody that helps them. That's what Grace has Done to the old man.

it wont work. not in africa.

The ones that installed their sons(e.g Togo, Gabon) or who gave the treasury to their daughters (e.g Angola), are they not in Africa?

In fact, handing over to family members is more likely to happen in Africa.

That's it....as always lets blame the woman. From the days of Eve till now, women are still meant to take all the blame.

No. Mugabe was the leader of his country. He failed his people. He suffered them, killed them, raped them, abused them and took hope away from them. He takes FULL responsibility for the plight of Zimbabweans, NOT GRACE. Grace is an opportunists, but Grace Mugabe is not the President of Zimbabwe; Robert Mugabe is!

They will keep coming at us but do not despair. All these countries coming for us have had bad years before they got to the good years.

It will only take one good leader to come out of Africa and everything changes. I know it will happens, my prayer is just that I hope it happens in my time.

That read just like all the other articles currently online ...heresy
There is no proof in that article besides our own country has huge issues of its own at least their president “governed” in the same country he lived in.

my dear that won't be possible again because European and American imperialists have been joined by the Asian imperialists coupled with the fact that black Africans myopic,clannish and ready to sell the continent as long as the money can provide women and drinks.
Its over.

This is one of the things affecting Africa as a whole.
Self-centeredness is the order of the day.
God bless Nigeria.

Are you suggesting that Russia is an African country? Cuz Vladimir Putin ain't leaving so soon. There are many long term self serving dictators across the globe so don't limit this to Africans only.

Wait, you are actually asking if Mugabe is a despot? Like seriously? If he isn't, who is?

despot
a ruler or other person who holds absolute power, typically one who exercises it in a cruel or oppressive way.

So Mugabe is now a despot?

Come on, quit with the African bullshit. Any neutral observer can see that Mugabe is not just a despot but an ineffective ruler that plunged his country into serious economic crises. 1 bitcoin is 12000 usd in Zimbabwe and 8000 usd elsewhere. You know why? Because of Mugabe's poor economic and political policies. A man who has jailed and threatened political opponents, ignored the rule of law and allowed his wife make mockery of governance. You better wash your eyes so you can see well rather than going on with the African nonsense.

It still does not change the fact that the military was on Mugabe's side until Grace had an unnecessary taste for power. Neither does it change the fact that the behavior of the women empowered by Nigeria's former president (including his wife) hastened his downfall. Women, particularly here in Africa, are not politically adept and are thus likely to cause both destruction for those who empower them and themselves when they attempt to navigate the political terrain.

All pained Western journalists can go and hang, the blacks will never return the lands Mugabe redistributed to them to any White man

Who elected the Queen as Head of State of britain and when will she resign?
God bless you for this comment. Mr Crocodile might give back lands to the Europeans Mugabe expelled.
About the Queen, most people would say, it is just a ceremonial post meanwhile, the Queen endorses prime minister before he/she resumes work. The Queen is a supreme leader that, they see her as a perfectionist.

One sided story from the British mail that tends to put us (Africans) down. Thanks for the detailed unbalanced reportage from British media.
It is an open secret that the old man from Zimbabwe bruised the Western power's ego for a long time with his land redistribution policy.
Mugabe resisted for such a long time though the economy paid dearly for it.
They made mention of the Chinese, USA and UK have not been able to partake in the constant rape of Zimbabwe. So they are envious of the Chinese making in road into their old territories.
My joy is that the people of Zimbabwe were able to solve their problems without the western connivance.
Let the imperialists hold their poisonous chalice.
Can we forget so soon how their interventions made Iraq and Libya become failed states.
Leave Africans alone to solve our problems. Since the turn of the century, Africans are becoming more stable politically. So let us learn at our pace with our home grown democracy.

The west have no business with Zimbabwe. They don't mine anything there.
Stop making the west more powerful than they are.

China is the one calling the shots in Zimbabwe with regards to their resources. They have a lot to gain than the west.

You are talking off point my dear....

Mugabe was not removed because he was a bad leader, but because he wanted to install grace as his successor. The climax was the sacking of the vice president.
People blaming the wife are right as far as the game called politics is concerned.

Mugabe's biggest mistake was not in sacking the VP, but in allowing him to be free after the sack. A wounded lion is more dangerous when its free.
