The die-hard Mugabe
Apr. 2nd, 2008 09:13 pmSome observations about the elections in Zimbabwe.
While he was casting his vote the other day, Mugabe said that "If you lose an election and are rejected by the people, it's time to quit politics". But at that moment he seemed to be pretty confident about his victory. Now it seems he hasn't done as well as he expected. While Zimbabwe's economy is going from bad to worse to disastrous in the last years, Mugabe's political downfall has been predicted many times over and over but he always managed to disprove his critics... at least up till now...
