So, all change but things will remain the same in Zimbabwe 12:56 - Nov 22 with 872 views | homer_123 | with Emmerson Mnangagwa coming in from exile to take over from Mugabe. This is a man with as much, if not more, blood on his hands as Mugabe. I just can't see how Zanu-PF are going to do anything other than keep control - elections due next year and time will tell if these are genuine open elections. | |

So, all change but things will remain the same in Zimbabwe on 13:35 - Nov 22 with 833 views | Guthrum | Mnangagwa may not have any choice but to be more cooperative. He lacks the status that Mugabe had as the leader who brought independence to Zimbabwe and his vast time in office. He also owes a lot of people favours, especially the army but also including the opposition (who made no trouble and cooperated in removing the former President). He is also being watched closely by regional powers and other international observers. Plus he will need the assistance of everyone, internal and external, to improve the dire state of Zimbabwe's economy. And he's 75. Mnangagwa is not himself a very long-term option. | |

There is more chance of that from him than Grace Mugabe I suspect. I fear your prognosis is more likely though. | |
