Bobby Mugabe advised not to run for resident again

About time - from the UK Telegraph:
Mugabe told: stand again and you will lose
Robert Mugabe has been told by his own intelligence chiefs that he will lose if he sticks to his insistence on standing again in Zimbabwe's presidential elections next year.

The 83-year-old, who has ruled Zimbabwe since independence in 1980, was given the warning last month. He is said to have been livid.
Emphasis mine -- couldn't happen to a nicer person. What is it like to live in Zimbabwe these days:
It said support for the president was at rock bottom because of severe economic crisis, with ordinary Zimbabweans struggling to survive in the face of inflation of more than 3,700 per cent, unemployment at 80 per cent and shortages of basic foodstuffs and fuel.

Mugabe is said to have sat through the presentation with a "frowning, cold face". Yet he seems to be stepping up measures to secure victory for his party.

Last week, he ordered its youth militia, the "green bombers", to turn villages into no-go areas for the opposition Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) party.

"Mugabe said he was not giving up on next year's polls as this would be a victory to our colonisers [Britain], who want to rule us using their puppets in the MDC," said one of those who attended the meeting.
Zimbabwe used to be the "breadbasket" of Africa - exporting a large variety of food. Now it has to import its food and the economy is in shambles. All of this is Mugabe's fault. He and his corrupt cronies have ruined a Jewel of Africa.
