Mugabe Won't Face Prosecution in Zimbabwe, Ruling Party Says

2017-11-24

[BLOOMBERG] Former Zim-bob-wean President Bob Muggsy Mugabe

Nonagenarian President-for-Life of Zim-bob-we who turned the former Breadbasket of Africa into the African Basket Case...
won’t face prosecution and is free to remain in the southern African nation following his resignation on Tuesday after 37 years in power.

"There aren’t any plans for former President Robert Mugabe; he’s free to stay in Zim-bob-we and he won’t face prosecution," Simon Khaya Moyo, a front man for the ruling Zim-bob-we African National Union-Patriotic Front, said Thursday by phone. "We don’t have anything against him or his family. He’s the hero of our liberation."

Emmerson Mnangagwa, 75, is due to be sworn in on Friday to replace Mugabe, who’s ruled since independence in 1980. Moyo said he didn’t think any members of the opposition would be included in the new administration.

#4 because we need "fresh blood"

Let me reassure you there is no cannibalism in the Zimbabwe People's Congress. Absolutely none. And when I say none, I mean there is a certain amount.

#2 The 'discovery' process might be too damning for some, I'd wager.
