Big shocker in Africa - an aspiring demagogue doesn't want to give up power, it's not like we haven't seen this script before. The people of Zimbabwe would be immeasurably better off under British rule compared to the murderous tyrant Mugabe. The average person is completely ignorant to the fact that Mugabe has single handedly destroyed a country that used to be referred to as the bread-basket of Africa. He is responsible for over 1 million deaths of a rival tribe and turned once lush and fertile land into dustbowls - Mugabe's goons took over farms from predominantly white farmers, sold the irrigation pipe for scrap metal, and ran goats over the land (pull out plants by the root) - turning millions of acres into unproductive dustbowls. South Africa won't be far behind.
