Oh dear, how sad. Never mind

I hope he's suffering. Piece of ***** who has ruined the lives of millions.
FORMER President Robert Mugabe is unwell and in Singapore receiving medical attention, President Emmerson Mnangagwa said on Saturday while millions of Zimbabweans contend with lack of drugs at public hospitals.

Mugabe, during his reign, was constantly under fire from the opposition and critics, demanding that he steps down over failing health and old age as he frequented Singapore to get medical attention. He was removed from power in a coup in November 2017 after 37 years in power.

The former leader, who has shied away from public attention since his ouster in November 2017, left the country for Singapore on April 2, Mnangagwa told the

Zimbabwe Broadcasting Corporation in a special Independence Day interview.

“He has not been feeling well. At the age of 95, I think he is reasonably in good health. Currently, he is not in the country. He left on April 2 for

Singapore, he will be away for about 29 days and he will come back.

“I am making sure that I do the facilitation for him to receive treatment, take him to Singapore and to bring him back, all the facilities, I make sure that it is done,” Mnangagwa said.

Mugabe and top government ministers receive State-funded medical attention overseas, while locals have to make do with lack of drugs at public hospitals.

The country faces serious drug shortages, with some medical aid societies, private health institutions and pharmacies now demanding payment in United States dollars, further condemning the majority to misery.

The pharmaceutical sector blames government for the drug shortages, arguing that the sector continues to be allocated insignificant monies for the importation of drugs.

Doctors and nurses have on several occasions been forced to down tools in protest against lack of drugs and other essential equipment at public heath institutions. In the 2019 National Budget, Finance minister Mthuli Ncube allocated $694,5 million or 9% of the budget to the sector against the 15% stipulated under the Abuja Declaration.

In April 2001, the African Union member countries met in Abuja and pledged to allocate at least 15% of their annual budgets to improve the health sector and urged donor countries to scale up support.

Mme OFSO expressed the wish that the Capetonians visit poor old Mugabe on his sickbed when he returns from Singers and perhaps take him a few cheery prezzies. I've got an old piece of chewing gum that I found stuck on the sole of my TKMax boot that I'd be happy to donate.

It looks like the nice Mrs Mugabe has been up to her old tricks. Maybe needs an anger management course? Better still a public caning if it's true:

Your suggestion is far too kind.

She should be released onto the streets of any town in the country that she and her husband have ruined, and mob justice should take its course. Even that might be quicker and kinder than she deserves.

Many people believe he has already gone to the great sewer in the sky.

I hope he's alive and suffering, his evil wife too.

They just can't break the Mugabe way of encouraging the electors in Zimbabwe:

I hope he's burning in the fires of hell. Unfortunately that doesn't help the millions of people whose lives he ruined, nor will it bring about any improvement in the situation in Zimbabwe as his successor is just as bad.

The only thing I would hope for now is that his illgotten gains be distributed back into the hands of Zimbabwean people.

i have no doubt that the Guardian and similar left wing gutter press will be full of glowing praise about this hero of the liberation who released the oppressed people from the illegal Rhodesian regime of Ian Smith.

The South Africn government has already issued a statement praising him as a hero and offering condolences to the people of Zimbabwe.

They would be celebrating if they had anything to celebrate with,. Most of them don't even have water to drink.

Very serious question: what turns a hero of independence to a villain/ a corrupted leader?

Money? Greed? Power?

One could ask the question of business leaders that pocket £100,000,000 in a year. Peanuts compared with a potential dynastic leader from the dark continent but more than enough for a comfortable future. Why do they still work to get more?

That fabulous wealth passes on to the sons who have no such work ethic and lives just frittered away; no enduring legacy whatever.

Only in DRNK has one family clung to power through the generations.

Monarchies also survive but the 'spares' and consorts often drift too.

R I P Mugabe-Rot In Perpetuity.

Why did he not appear in the Hague on War Crimes charges? Probably for the same reason the nice people in the First World can't get their act together to eliminate such folk from the planet.

MSM now grabbed this death of a villain issue as they've run out of Brexit speculation waffles. :-q

I dare not even look at the Guardian because it would just put my blood pressure up to read all the puking sycophantic crap about how he was a hero of the liberation. Cnut.

There might be reasons to celebrate if only his successor was any better.

But it seems he is not!
