Old age haunts Mugabe's political life as he turns 89

[ZomboJoe]

[quote=The Article]Zimbabwe's President Robert Mugabe turned 89 on Thursday determined to extend his grip on power despite concerns over his health and advanced age.

Africa's oldest leader and world's second oldest after Shimon Peres of Israel, Mugabe has ruled Zimbabwe since independence from Britain in 1980.

Despite speculation over his physical fitness Mugabe accepted nomination from his Zanu-PF party to stand for another five-year term in elections due in July.[/quote]

One has to wonder what should happen after he is gone. He has been ruling for a long time.

As someone who lived in Africa and saw firsthand what he turned Rhodesia/Zimbabwe into: Die sooner, please.

When did he lose the hitler moustache? I thought that was part of his whole deal.

I didn't know he was that old. He looks pretty good appearance wise for 89.

Here's hoping the old fuck will resign. He'll probably die first. Just hope it happens sooner rather than later.
