Well, he has just asked for another two year extension on his terms. Wow.

But seriously, I do not know if the country can be turned around anymore. And do not underestimate his support, it is strange, but true. Many Zimbabweans still adore him. And he has filled his cabinet and party leadership with people who can not chanllenge him, and made them very very comfrotable in their posts. They will want to protect this comfort. So when he goes, you will see a just as incomptent government, trying to keep the Status Quo
