    Mugabe is a monster, that's for sure. But I don't know anything about his opponent. Is he supposed to be any better?

    ^Good question.

    But I remember looking at the footage of the ballots. There were more than just 2 candidates for the position. Unless I was mislead?

    In Africa if someone they don't like is elected they'll just kill him. It's kinda pointless either way.

    Mugabe turned the second most developed country in Africa (up there with some European countries in 1980) into the mess it is today.

    In 1980, Zimbabwe had the best road network on the continent, even putting nations like the UK and France to shame. It had massive industrial output, a very highly educated population, with some of the best engineers in Africa. It had a massive agriculture production, modern cities, good public transport and a rail system that was the envy of the developing world. It was also one of Africa's major tourist destinations.

    By 2013, all of that has deteriorated. Zimbabwe is now a ghost of its past. It's rising again, but as long as Mugabe is in power, it's potential will never be reached.

    Mugabe, however, does have serious prostate cancer. It's rumored that he won't survive past 2014.

    Doesn't matter that he won. Zimbabwae has not has a democratic election since before mugabe siezed power.

    The only way he will not win each rigged election is by dieing.

    truth be told, it is 100% likely that he is the gayest man on the african continant; no one is that homophobic without being coocoo for cocks.
