We just want Mugabe to step down

Pambazuka, Mutsa Murenje
I have come across a number of people who believe that the situation in Zimbabwe can only improve when Mugabe is dead. In the vulgar, these people want him dead! But I constantly remind them that we don’t have to wait for him to die first for us to be free. We want to be free even in his presence. My question is: What will happen if he doesn’t die for the next 10 years? The point is: I don’t wish him dead but I want him to retire peacefully and leave us alone! It is an undeniable fact that Mugabe has dismally failed to perform to the best of his ability during the past 10 years and it is highly unlikely that Mugabe will restore Zimbabwe to where she was 10 or so years ago.

So do most of the people. He has lost the elections... but he did not get the message. It will take decades before things start looking up and for Zimbabwe to be restored to what it was many years ago.
