Also, I’ve heard it said that Mugabe’s descent into madness started approximately the same time that he married his second wife Grace Marufu. I wonder how much truth there is to that? Perhaps this is the African version of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette; at least Grace seems to have the same expensive tastes and the African Third Estate seems to be just as fed up. Hopefully the African version of the story will have the same ending; and sooner rather than later.
