“Targeting criminals” obviously includes Bob and Gucci Grace!!

Fed up with trains. Sick of the rain.
Only surprised it's taken this long. Have to hope that one despot isn't being replaced by another, however, the history of African politics isn't encouraging.

It all started so well for Robert, but since he's first wife die its all gone wrong. A country with huge potential and a great place to visit as well

My bet is that there will be gracious thanks from the people who loved him in the form of a private jet flight to Singapore loaded with 40 suitcases full of Dollar bills.

This is isn't a full coup in my opinion, nor of those old acquaintances I've spoken to in Botswana about it. Mugabe would be already gone now if it was. Ignatius Chombo, the finance minister and ally of Grace is under arrest - because that's their target - her and the G40 faction of ZANU-PF. There's already reports she's about to go into exile.

Now being reported Robert Mugabe is negotiating a safe passage for his charming wife Grace out of the country, then will finally step down as President himself. The ZANU PF Twitter account is already hailing the new Comrade leader - former VP Emmerson Mnangagwa, who is now back in the country.

Reports suggest The Zimbabwean Republican Police Commissioner, who was pro-Mugabe and various journalists who ran stories against the apparent new leader are also now under arrest. The army have also taken over the main police armoury in Harare. This is looking potentially a relatively very orderly and seamless transition of power.
