Only posting what I picked up on.

I have noticed its already slipping in the news agenda to 3rd and 4th news reports.

The next time it hits the headlines will be to announce he has stood down and given safe passage to another country I reckon.

The expert on the radio did say if Mugabe stepped down the hottest candidate to take over is the one who slaughtered some thousands during the 1980's, sorry his name i forgot. Last thing we want is one swine out and another swine in.

Being to look like one mass murderer out and another one in.

Emmerson Mnangagwa


He is widely believed to have orchestrated the Gukurahundi massacre where the Zimbabwean Fifth Brigade massacred rebels many from the ethnic Ndebele tribe in Matabeleland during the 1980s.

Estimates for the total deaths vary but it is believed to be anywhere between 4,000 and 20,000.

Looks like they are all clones of one another but I'm trying to put my faith in a fair election for the vast majority who wish it so.

The first lady has been expelled from the party altogether.

That's the end of his future plans then.

I hear the Army has called the whole operation Joshua Nkomo.

It seems from the news Grace Mugabe is hated far more than Robert Mugabe and having her as the next possible President was one step to far.

[Jimbuna]

Mr Mugabe has been given until noon on Monday to resign.
