Article.

Ding dong, another witch is dead then.

Robert Mugabe next?

I don't remember if any famous despots have died between Castro and him, but all I can say is, this highly successful creator of new billionaires really took his time.

I echo the sentiments of those before me and probably anyone not on Mugabe's payroll in Zimbabwe. I would say I hope a road to peace is paved, but only time will tell if that can happen in a post Mugabe Zimbabwe

What I don't know is what Singapore will do with his body, considering littering is a huge no-no around those parts.

I feel the article lacked lively illustrations, so here's one where the great leader stumbles off his podium some (at least 4) years ago. Or perhaps practices a new dance move. Showmanship is a virtue.

Liberator turned into a villain.

Mugabe is a classic case of a man who wanted to liberate his country until absolute power got into his head.

Not only liberated his country he also destroyed it.
