Title: Re: Four decades later? Post by: RED-DOG on November 16, 2017, 11:03:17 AM How did the whole world manage to look the other way for so long? Zimbabwe isn't the only country. We are still looking the other way. Title: Re: Four decades later?

Post by: Woodsey on November 19, 2017, 07:37:38 PM Mugabe looking over his shoulder.......sad thing is the most likely replacement is probably another dictator.
‘Sometimes I wonder, Will god ever forgive us for what we've done to each other? Then I look around and I realize, God left this place a long time ago’ Leonardo Di Caprio- Blood Diamond. A lot of truth in that. Title: Re: Four decades later? Post by: Karabiner on November 19, 2017, 07:42:58 PM I can't help wondering how much money Mugabe and Lady Gaga have got stashed away in the pension fund.
Mugabe is possibly the Colin Wanker of African tyrants as his name is E Ba Gum backwards. Title: Re: Four decades later? Post by: Woodsey on November 19, 2017, 07:45:22 PM Don’t know if people saw this or not....

Post by: tikay on November 19, 2017, 10:04:31 PM He's refusing to go. Unless he has managed to get the Army back on side, things could get very messy, very quickly. He needs to get out of Zimbabwe quickly, before the lynch mobs get to him. Title: Re: Four decades later? Post by: tikay on November 20, 2017, 09:03:06 AM Increasingly, it looks like Mugabe has got the Army Generals onside, presumably with the promise of fat pensions. Impeachment is not a quick process, so this could run for a while yet. Title: Re: Four decades later? Post by: TightEnd on November 20, 2017, 10:52:02 AM a twist
Title: Re: Four decades later? Post by: tikay on November 21, 2017, 05:13:43 PM Party time in Zimbabwe, as Mugabe resigns. Title: Re: Four decades later? Post by: Woodsey on November 21, 2017, 05:17:04 PM Wouldnt be getting too excited, chances of next one being just as bad are pretty high.....
Title: Re: Four decades later? Post by: TightEnd on November 21, 2017, 05:35:50 PM My nee favourite fact about Robert Mugabe: in 2000, Mugabe's 13th year as President, he won the jackpot in the Zimbabwean National Lottery draw.

Wow, I thought you were making that up, but it's true; http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/621895.stm Title: Re: Four decades later? Post by: Karabiner on November 21, 2017, 07:05:10 PM I love the guy jubilantly making the crocodile teeth mime with his hands during the celebrations on Ch4 News.
Will "The Crocodile" actually be any better or is he simply less bad? Title: Re: Four decades later? Post by: TightEnd on November 22, 2017, 08:56:27 AM (https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DPMN7QyWkAAra9a.jpg)
