All this back patting just chokes me up with nausea. Sounds just like the aftermath of the former USA’s 2012 elections.

Oh Mugabe should drop dead and the people of Zimbabwe would rejoice. He has brought nothing but misery to that country.

It doesn't matter how many vote; it matters only who COUNTS the votes. Robert Mugabe, the tyrant, rules on in Zimbabwe and President Jacob Zuma in South Africa and the ANC applaud. South Africa is doomed to follow Zimbabwe down the toilet.
