what is the purpose of all of this mis governance.The world must look at Muigabe is he mentally ill.Doe he have an involutional psychosis.I cant imagine an elderly like mugabe not realizing that he is causint massive loss of life and suffering.Will the UN or the World court charge Mugabe with benovalent geenocide.Does mugabe realise that he is at the extreme of life or does he believe that the rules of life and nature does not apply to him. Mugabe has involutional psychosis,sub type Schoid personality,diease character,La Belle Indifference.The oppositional leader is also unfit to lead simply because there is nothing to govern.The currency has no value both within and outside of the country,all infra structure has collapsed...hello Texas Bob ..I agree with your comment,but this is a forum for commenting on articles not others ideas or opinions and right to free speech remember in virtual reality we are just alphabets on a keyboard and words on a screen
@ Fisherperry & TexasB,
I most certainly agree with you guys, incompetence and violence is what kept him at the helm, he has never been tested in critical thinking and problem solving hence his push for one party state and autocracy. In all honesty what do you make of a president that consults with a witch doctor who dropped out of grade school? Furthermore, Robert Mugabe is an unelected official therefore is holding the President’s office at hostage. Our biggest problem is the United Nations allowing this man to travel and misrepresent us, a big part of the blame is with the United Nations, its a country club for human right violators to exchanges phone numbers.
Deputy Health Minister Edwin Muguti claimed the cholera epidemic was under control, he made an apparent u-turn in telling journalists on Thursday that the outbreak will worsen, 'with the onset of the rainy season.' Which government is he a deputy Minister? If he belongs to the one we rejected in March 2008 its understandable because those did represent the people of Zimbabwe. Its like Mugabe he does not represent zimbabweans in anyway.

Just so it is clear, this Cholera epidemic is the fault of Robert Mugabe, his croonies and the ZANU-pf. Cholera does not break out in civilized societies. It is easy to treat and control with modern medicine if it does break out. What is wrong Comrade Bob...don't you care people are dying? That was a retorical question.
