#1 Mugabe has said that he will not retire as long as there were things left to steal.
Fixed.

#2 "What part of 'dictatorial, president-for-life', do you not understand?"

I think Zimbabwe can be summed up by the story of several of Mugabe's government cronies, who paid a witch a small fortune for a magic stick that, she alleged, when struck against a rock would make refined diesel fuel pour out of it. Which would thus alleviate all Zimbabwe's energy needs.

The tale would not be complete, except that after pulling this magnificent con job, the witch was foolish enough to not leave Zimbabwe, so though the fortune was not recovered, she was arrested and believed to have been murdered.

But this tale encapsulates the nation of Zimbabwe, from Mugabe down. A tale of how a prosperous country was brought low by racism and stupid avarice.
