#1 89-year-old Mugabe, who has run the southern African nation since independence from Britannia in 1980.

Not accurate, history re-written sans white colonials. The Unilateral Declaration of Independence (UDI) from Great Britain was granted on 11 Nov 1965. What followed was a 14 year battle for democracy which ended with a communist party 'shared democracy' or gov't take over if you will, in 1979, with the colonials phased out soon thereafter. Mugabe, a murdering terrorist thug, didn't come along as a pol until a bit later. It's worked beautifully since then of course.
