My take on why Mugabe has remained in power this long

President Robert Mugabe turns 87 tomorrow. At that age he should have long retired and should be reading his memoirs, with the countries’ leaders going to him for advice. Instead everyone is second guessing when he will go so that the country can forge ahead because the world’s powerful countries have vowed they will not assist Zimbabwe as long as Mugabe is still in power. For six years I battled to contain conflicts within myself that pitted my journalistic principles against my religious beliefs. Facts on the ground said Mugabe should go for the country to prosper. On the religious front prophecy had said we should shy from politics because Mugabe was going to outlast his enemies.
