Lion

After 28 years of being Zimbabwe’s political leader, Robert Mugabe, has not won a majority of votes for the presidency. This is a great change for Zimbabwe and the article states that it is a change for the better. Mugabe is the last of the old type of rule and he is one of the many leaders who helped their country out of colonial rule only to push it back into being poorer than it was before. There has been graffiti out through the capital city of Harare that says “Zuakwana” which simply means “Enough”. This graffiti has been seen on and around political posters for Robert Mugabe. The people are tired of Mugabe’s policies. Inflation in Zimbabwe is running at an annual rate of more than 100,000%. Many people of Zimbabwe are leaving the country because of the political problems there. The leadership is ruining the country.
