The great Robert Mugabe served 37 years as President of Zimbabwe and he was well loved by fans and hated by his vocal critics alike. Let's hope he enjoys his retirement. He was a controversial leader seizing power by a military coup in 1980 and he reigned over Zimbabwe with an iron fist, crushing political opposition that stood in his way. An elderly man at 93, his time as leader has now come to an end. Farewell Bob!

Old fuck should've died 30 years ago. Absolutely ruined Zimbabwes economy. Hope new leadership can bring the nation back on track.

From what I've read people aren't exactly thrilled about the former Vice President and man who may be taking over, but Mugabe's departure is a few decades overdue.

Make zimbabwe Rhodesia again!

lmfao, right? But I don't think the situation is going to get much better. His wife is probably going to get back into power.

Haven't seen excitement of that level since the Twilight Princess reveal. Some interesting events transpiring in 2017.

About time. That said, I don't expect the situation to improve very much.

It hardly matters at this point. Nothing will save Zimbabwe now.

Kicking his ass out is just half of the fight. The other half is establishing a democracy and maintaining it. Though kudos to them for ousting him without turning it into a bloodbath.

His likely successors don't look to be an improvement.
