Gaara101: I am indifferent if he chooses to continue!! But I believe it is wrong for non-Zimbabweans to insists that he leaves power. Irrespective of her faults, Zimbabwe is a constitutional democracy! We can't insists that their leader steps down because we are unhappy. Let him be voted out. And let's not ignore the impact Western sanctions have had on their economy. Mugabe is not a dunce! I believe he even gained law degrees from the University of London while in jail, although this is irrelevant 1 Like |

napoleon77:Alright, I see where you are coming from. Then again, If he contests and wins, nothing we say would change anything. If I remember correctly, there were lots of people here talking about the US election and it changed nothing. People can say what they want. Cheers |

The Queen is ceremonial head of government unlike Mugabe. We should stop comparing the two tchuwey: |

tchuwey:My sister Queen of England plays only ceremonial roles. The real power is with the British Prime Minister who is elected politician. All decisions are made by the Prime Minister and the Congress. while Mugabe is the president and head of state. he run the country with full powers. |

napoleon77: When the election is not free and fair? When the opponents are blackmailed and arrested? Lee was 87 when his party PAP had their worst loss in parliamentary elections. Until then, he was the Minister-mentor. After the loss, he stepped down for the younger generation to continue. This is a man who is credited with lifting Singapore from Third World to First World status in a generation. The same Singapore Mugabe goes to treat cough was a described as a squalid land. Today Singapore is described by The World Bank as the best place to start a business, by The Economist as the second safest city, by Transparency International as the 7th least country and lots more. Honestly, tell me what a 93 old man offer in this century? .....and yes, it sucks to be a black man. When I see a developed black nation, then I will eat my vomit. Nigeria for example cannot provide her citizens with constant power supply after 56 years of independence, yet Singapore had hers (against her will) in 1965. S.Korea had a lower GDP per capita than us during the '60s. If you like the status-quo, your prerogative. |

Gerrard59: Let's not deviate. This is not a comparison between the 1st and 3rd world. If you have evidence that it had been confirmed that Zimbabwean elections were not free and fair then that is a separate issue and it will be nice to show evidence. Even Hillary asked for a recount in the US election (elections are hardly free and fair anywhere, depending on where you stand) Do not misinterpret my stand! I am not a fan of Mugabe but if the electorate are unhappy then vote him out. It happened in Nigeria and Gambia. You seem to have ignored the impact of Western sanctions on Zimbabwe. Are they irrelevant? 1 Like |

Maybe we might need to help the Zimbabwean out... When u begin to believe in ur doing alone, it rule out respect for others desire, wants and need... Hence, conflict ensue... |

EdificationBoss: A very big indictment on you Mr Mugabe because succession planning is a big part of Leadership. You have been in power for about 37 years, yet you are openly confessing to the world that you have not found worthy successors among your people to groom for future leadership positions in your country, you ought to cover your face in shame and not gloat over this fact. We all know that if Mr. Mugabe drops dead this minute, many more qualified Zimbabweans, than himself, will be quick to step out and pick the leadership mantle of the country My only fear for the country, is that it does not descend into chaos and anarchy, in the case of a sudden passing by Mugabe, because peaceful political succession has never been allowed to take place in the country hence it will take their polity awhile to adjust to it. |
