Doing that has worked well in the Middle East, talking to Zimbabwean (sp) the other day and he was saying if Robert Mugabe goes his wife would take over and she makes her husband look like a nice well rounded chap.
And if not her it would be someone equally as greedy and unpleasant.

Yep. Any successor will need to be a hardass as if they are seen as weak then a coup of some kind will be inevitable.
African politics is a bit like game of thrones. But with slightly less incest.

Give the guy a break. The average life expectancy in Zimbabwe is 33, (was 66 when he came to power), but he's 92, so he's doing his bit to keep the average up. Everyone else dying young is letting the side down.

People obviously don't care about keeping the average up as much as he does. wink

Wife she took over, they could cause per car to crash and make it look like an accident.
Oh wait, didn't someone already do that to his opponent?

Peter Oborne writing in the Spectator thinks that Mugabe's time is up as Zimbabwe faces an economic crisis even worse that what it saw in 2008.


Zimbabwe will sink into horror and depravity unless Mugabe quits now. The economic crisis is so vicious and acute he cannot save himself even if he resorts to violence again

A good read, cheers for the link! It's amazing that this isn't being more widely reported imo.

Unless I am suffering from head in the sand syndrome!

My girlfriend gets the Economist magazine every week - I flick through it every now and again and it's quite an eye-opener just how many quite major events are going on throughout the world that we just don't hear about.

Yep - bizarre that no-one reports some relly important thing, but everyone reports every new dress that Kim Kardashian squeezes her fat arse into. You could blame the papers, but they're only printing what the masses wnat to read..

One Mugabe may be on the way out (the is now in his mid 90s and can barely stay awake at official functions) but it looks like another Mugabe wants to replace him.
