Robert Mugabe dominated so much of my own life and the life of Zimbabwe, the country where I was born and raised, and still, in some deep, alchemical way, consider home. Like most dictators he managed to be both ubiquitous and remote. For decades his brooding portrait stared balefully down from every office and shop in the country, hung there by law.
It was a torture on an industrial scale, committed on a catch-and-release basis, with the victims carried back to their home villages, there to act as human billboards advertising their political stigmata, the consequences of opposing his tyranny.Violence was always in Mugabe's political DNA. It only became dormant for the decade or so when Zimbabwe was a one-party state. He was always far more interested in power than in democracy.
Mugabe was 95 when doctors finally pulled the plug of the life-support machine in the luxury private clinic in Singapore where he commuted so often for specialised medical care.
Good riddance .

From freedom fighter to oppressor that’s what happens when you give power to a common man
The world should celebrate the final demise of a murderous political thug. Hell would be too nice for him.

NSW woman can’t afford corrective surgery after botched opA mum-of-two who fell victim to a “rogue cosmetic surgeon” she describes as a “monster” claims the surgery has ruined her life.
