    I'm surprised he is still alive....natural or unnatural, I (and millions of others) expected him to be dead long ago.

    "holding him for his own safety". Dreaded words like a football manager being told he has the full support of the board.

    Agree. We don’t know yet if this will be a real improvement but I just can’t think of it getting worse than with Mugabe.
    Let’s hope for the best.

    And while they are it can’t they do the same at their neighbor SA?

    Has the PRC/CCP media reported this domestically?

    If yes, what's the gloss they're putting on these events?


    What comes to my personal opinion, the military appears to be backing one of their own for the top job and even if media restrictions are relaxed and open and fair elections held, reversing the decades long dominance of the Zanu-PF one-party rule will take some effort.

    All established one-party regimes are magnets for corrupt kleptocrats and Zanu-PF is no different.

    From FB

    "Mugabe is the best President ever, he made everyone in Zimbabwe a billionaire"

    Needless to say loads of replies from people not getting the humour.
