#1 If mugabe makes it another six months I'll be amazed. He's pissing off everybody he can think of, including about a million people in the capital city. His junky chinese jets and classic 1960's helicopters arent going to do him any good when a mob storms the presidential palace and tears him to pieces. The only curious thing to me is that he seems to think that you can go around doing whatever you want without any consequences. That seems to be a common condition with tyrants.

#2 Well, he's got about 25 years of evidence that it does work. If he died today, he'll die old and african successful.

#3 Speech by Mugabe 'proves he is losing his mind'

Mr Mugabe added that Zimbabwe was making "great strides towards economic recovery". Tourism was enjoying a "strong recovery", he said, and the demolitions in the townships were a "vigorous clean-up campaign to restore sanity and order in urban and other areas".

In reality, Zimbabwe suffers inflation of 130 per cent and more than one third of its economy has been wiped out in the last five years.

The president's speech "reflects his senile dementia," said Tendai Biti, the MDC's secretary for economic affairs. "Any decent doctor will tell you that once you are in your eighties, you lose your memory, you lose your grasp of reality and you have no grip of time or space. That's what is happening with this old man."
