Former Zimbabwean president Robert Mugabe says South Africa should have sent troops instead of a team of negotiators to prevent his ouster by the military last year.



Mugabe said his regional neighbours betrayed him “in a sense”, in an interview with the privately-owned Zimbabwe Independent newspaper and other regional and international media.



“When you look at their conditions, except for South Africa, they haven’t got the capacity to intervene. But South Africa could have done much more. It did not send an army, but just to engage” the 94-year-old is quoted as saying.



Mugabe who ruled Zimbabwe since independence from British colonial rule in 1980 was forced to quit when the military stepped in and ruling ZANU-PF lawmakers launched impeachment proceedings against their once beloved leader. He was replaced by Emmerson Mnangagwa, a favourite of the military, whom Mugabe had fired weeks earlier as his deputy in a move seen as paving way for his wife Grace to take over.

South Africa’s then-president Jacob Zuma had sent defence minister Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula and the then state security minister Bongani Bongo to intervene in the impasse between Mugabe and the military.

Mugabe, who once quipped that he would rule until he turned 100, described his departure from office as a “coup d’etat. Those who created it have the responsibility to reverse it. If they don’t want to reverse it, it means they want the situation to continue which I think is the case. “They would want us perhaps to get to the national election when the environment is still very congested with fear, some people still hiding, displaced” he said in the interview.

Since his dramatic reversal of fortune, Mugabe has largely stayed out of public life.

xreal:

Haba!

no mind the old selfish man

Mugabe 94 years old and still wants to continue as president. Wow!

EVEN SOUTH AFRICA HAS HER OWN PROBLEMS,

I do not understand this Messiah complex and Power-drunk mentality of Africans. Mugabe isnt thankful that he caged his country for several decades and was relieved of power without occasions. At least he retained his loot and isnt subjected to any drama. He still regrets leaving power at his age? Africa, sorry is thy name.

To say the least, l am disappointed with Mugabe.

I no blame u, they should have waste just a single bullet on u, foolish man

No matter what happens, the fact is that Mugabe will remain one of the greatest Africans of all time.

At 95 years old, he is sure not a spring chicken but vitality abounds in him like a bull. I don't care if you were forced out of power, I respect you every second of my waking life. I wish Buhari, who is twenty years your junior, can have just one percent of the wisdom in your head.

Buhari is cursed.

@94 years u stil won b leader.....u no go tink of hw u go take die peaceful death or u won die like gaddafi??

u for consult our own here,how dey do it,plank any intruder with maze,use demand area bois, chase ur opponent to one corner, settle traditional ruler,chief,Imam, pastor. Threatened em with recall. Niagara is sweet sha ,no dull time here

why will a man rule a country for as long as 20years plus with even hardship on top am.
Buhari wey never reach 4yrs for office, na him wey we wan send am go back Him village for Daura,

Not 20. 38 years

ancestor

Mr Mugabe your misrule let you down. Your sit up ambition let you down. Your Delilah wife let you down so old man stop blaming anybody or are you apc member too? Because blame game is their business they are still blaming their predecessor after 3 years gone.

Mugabe go and rest your time has gone.
