I really hope this brings about a positive change in the country. I would love to go back to the country I was born in on holiday without seeing it in the condition it is in now or was in.

well he has been in power since 1980 till (I think) 4 years back when he should have left office when he lost the elections to MDC but managed to squeeze in a split power deal.
I hope he is booted sooner rather than later since he has served several more 5 year terms already.
