    The epitome of Zimbabwe, intelligent and eloquent. Always on point. Highly answered Jonathan in a lukewarm but highly responsive manner. Mugabe is truly displaying the knowledge he has in economics and explaining from 1980, 18 years going, he expressed charisma and virtue of love for the country. Thank you Bob. RIP

    Sasha Raymond Munyanyi Wrong. Robert Mugabe confiscated the whites' farm and gave it to the ZANU party. If Mugabe wanted to do some charity for the people, he would have allowed the white people to go about their business, as what he did was bankrupt an ENTIRE COUNTRY, including the Hyperinflation that practically eroded the value of the currency and the purchasing power of the population, apart from the corruption that drastically increased during his government. To support and praise the Mugabe government is to be as genocidal as the government itself was!!!
