Zimbabwe African National Union-Patriotic Front leader Robert Mugabe was today sworn in as president and called the West “vile” for questioning his re-election. He also said he was going to press ahead with his indigenisation policies and told his critics to “go hang”. “Except for a few Western dishonest countries, our elections have been hailed as peaceful, free, fair and credible. For those odd Western countries who happen to hold a different negative view of our electoral process and outcome, there is not much that we can do about them. We dismiss them as the vile ones whose moral turpitude we must mourn,” he said. “The time has now come for us to extend our dominion to all those resources which the Almighty has been generous enough to give. That is the next revolution whose first step is this administration, this new government.”
