Go on Mugabe do your people a favour and be a coward

The Independent  reports that President Robert Mugabe has insisted that he would not stand down while his party was targeted by overseas sanctions.

The 87-year-old, who has ruled Zimbabwe since its independence from Britain in 1980, has again been selected as Zanu-PF's candidate for elections in 2013.

I am lucky God has given me this longer life than others to be with you."

Mugabe's rle has been a disaster for Zimbabwe. The sooner he is consigned to te dusbtin of history, the better
