Very good to hear spiritual leaders come out to tell the truth to Mugabe's face. If Mugabe has not learned, let him ask what happened to the late Mobutu Sese Seko, late General Sani Abacha. They were tyrants to the teeth, but how did they ened up. Mugabe, be warned. Let us all pray for Zimbabwe. A country going down from a single man's greed.
