Seems like its on and the general view I’m getting from the twitter sources I follow in Zim its a case of well about time.
ZBC news sources announced the coup that is not being called a coup then went on to the cricket scores.
Bob is really not very with it, pumped full of speed and botox before big events so it is those around him in charge and hoping to organise the succession.
Interestingly one of their top musicians Jah Prayzah is in Melbourne on Friday and I hope to catch up.
Yes although it looks like Mugarbage will be allowed to retire (gracefully of course), this seems to be almost a reverse coup. Out with the new and in with the old as elderly civil war army leaders have had enough of being sidelined by Mrs M and her cohorts and want to keep their place in the trough.
Same old, same old for the suffering populace.
It won`t happen but it would be a truly great thing if Mugrabby and his entourage were put against a wall and shot. Yes I mean that, fucking shot.
The bottom line is that his wife will not be president. But apart from that there might not be too much to hope for.
It is a circuit breaker and the upcoming elections were being rigged just like the previous ones. Chiwenga is a looter like the rest of them and Mnangagwa had Gukurahundi blood on his hands more than most so no, this is not about reform.
But guess we will have to see how it pans out.

on the plus side Thomas Mapfumo is being played again on radio after many years of silence.
Hokoyo!
As the Graun has it:
