I hope his missus is enjoying her stay at the Travelodge in Windhoek. I expect that's where he'll be off to soon.

Re: Updated: Zimbabwe's President Mugabe Resigns after 37 Years of Rule.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Mugabe

Robert Gabriel Mugabe (/muˈɡɑːbi/; Shona: [muɡaɓe]; born 21 February 1924) is a Zimbabwean revolutionary and politician who served as the President of Zimbabwe between 1987 and 2017.[1] He previously led Zimbabwe as Prime Minister from 1980 to 1987.

Wikipedia reflects his Presidency in the past tense. At long last.

Jubilation on the Streets of Zimbabwe at the moment. It's like they have won the FIFA World Cup, many times over.

I recall when Mugabe and Nkomo were looked upon as a ray of hope for the future. Just as in so many cases in Africa and elsewhere, that went well didn't it...

He'll have all sorts of dirt on all sorts of people so he's probably done a very generous deal which will see him continuing to live a life of luxury and keeping his ill gotten gains.

Certainly not but Zimbabwe needs to become far more open to the outside world as it is in dire straits economically and the populace are not as deferential and tolerant as before as many want clear change and improvements.
