Apparently. Breaking news, but looks like he will go without a fight...

Lets wait and see, and if he does, await the reaction.

and joburg knows nothing about any talks .....


It could come down to who the military decides is ruling 28 years after they left off , a pretty sad epitaph on Uncle Bobs grave - lets hope the reports are right ..!

theres no blood so far thankfully

Indeed mate, only time will decide this one. Would not want to be there over the coming days.

Can't see that lasting long

The Army and Police are full of Zanu-PF supporters (not just people who join up in order to get food vouchers and the like). Add to that ranks of indoctrinated members of the Zanu-PF youth movement, and the likelihood is some pretty serious public disorder at the "removal" of Mugabe.

I hope he goes quickly and we move even quicker to normalise ties with Zimbabwe and give them the assistance they need to get the foreign investment the country desperately needs.

The sooner Zimbabwe can shrug off the disease that is the Zanu-PF the better... it's a shame we didn't help it along with the use of a sniper rifle.

Seems a lot of Africans don't want him to leave.

The british press seem to portray him as evil (rightly or wrongly) but I read comments by Africans on BBC news and they think he has been good for the country.

I think it's more that he is still considered as a hero - despite everything - as he was the last African to rebel against white rule.

And he is evil. dl

Sadly the same could be said for Saddam too.

They are delaying delaying delaying... with these results. As the news have said, if they knew they had won, he would have announced it a long time ago.

Tidgy

he's out, knows it, and can currently only rig 42% of the vote lol

if your gonna rig it, at least get high 80%'s, he can't even do that right

I can't see him standing down.
I keep on expecting to turn on the news with reports of the opposition candidate being assasinated.

vindaloo

I think they're weighing up the options.

Now would be a very bad time for the opposition to do something illegal or against the interests of the state. Even if they didn't do it.
