Reply to: Mugabe is nearly gone

[northernladyuk]

That's "nearly gone" as in "Still fecking there & killing people" 10 years later.



The wonders of 20:20 hindsight.

I wonder how much longer the obnoxious bastard will last.

More to the point. Where is chef?

Looks like he's going nowhere in a hurry.

Sorry

Can you clarify that please?

Bad fingers day!

He was corrupt, only looking-after his own supporters, mismanaged the economy, forced the best people to flee the country and a lot of companies to close down, rampant inflation, etc, etc.
Just to clarify, I am referring to G. Brown.

Bob Bob going ... gone

So Bob is going, lets hope they don't all fight for the BMW and Presi chopper. Morgan C can be no worse, can he? No impossible.

could be time to start buying property over there

Yes, even you could afford a farm at 20 gazillion zim dollars.

Morgan will be only slightly less bad. Sad, cos I love that continent.

I think that is a little harsh and probably a bit early to make that call. Morgan's history is as a trade unionist and human rights activist. Not exactly cut from the same cloth as teacher Bob then is he. If he gets in he obviously has a huge restoration job to do but to suggest he is only marginally better than Bob the mass murderer (see Gukurahandi) is unfair imho.

Trust me, in Africa there are only levels of bad. I know - I was born there.

Most Africans I know share your view, sadly.

Please let's hope Mad Bob is ousted - and Morgan isn't just as bad.

Were they having presidential elections too - could he fiddle that one and not the parliamentary one?

Yes, the parliament has little real power. Losing control of parliament would not in itself cause a problem for Mugabe. Problems may flow from it of course.
