Mugabe fighting for his life in Singapore hospital
Offline Cape Town - Zimbabwe's President Robert Mugabe is said to be fighting for his life in a Singapore hospital, The Australian reports.
This comes amid reports that he had agreed to hand over power to his defence minister, Emmerson Mnangagwa.
Mugabe, who has ruled Zimbabwe since independence from Britain in 1980, visited Singapore eight times last year.
The New Zimbabwe, however, denied the claims of his ill health, saying he would be back in the country on Wednesday.
His spokesperson described the trips as necessitated by cataract surgery, or simply private visits, amid repeated media reports that he was suffering from cancer.
The Zimbabwe Mail, quoting a senior official of Mugabe's Zanu-PF party, said the president was undergoing intensive treatment in Singapore and that some members of his family had joined him after boarding a chartered private jet on Saturday.
The alarm was raised when the government postponed a cabinet meeting.
Mugabe, 88, is ostensibly in Singapore to oversee enrolment in a postgraduate course at Singapore University for his daughter Bona. University registration starts in September.
A June 2008 US diplomatic cable released by WikiLeaks last month said Mugabe has prostate cancer that has spread to other organs. He was urged by his physician to step down in 2008, but has stayed in the job.
I for can only hope that this is true. The guy dieing while could cause some destabilization would almost certainly be for the best. I have no issues with Zimbarbweans but half there countries population pretty much lives in South Africa by this point and that shit has got to end.

Drag him out of his nice clean hospital bed, dump him on the hot dirty pavement, grab a gallon of gas and and a rubber tire and "necklace" him.
Having seen what someone looks like post "necklace" I don't think I would wish that on anyone. It really is horrific.
For reference.

I know what it is. There isn't much that can't be seen on the internet. But really, I suppose that type of death it is no more horrific than being inside a tank when it's hit by an anti-tank round, or being engulfed in napalm and other horrific things that we expose our combat soldiers to. I've seen that as well. ( ...but I do relent from suggesting this type of execution as being excessively painful )
But as a less horrific concession I would only wish upon him to be riddled with dozens of .30 caliber AK bullets like Nicolae Ceausescu, the former dictator of Romania.
I always thought the worst thing you could do to a person like this was to strip them of their wealth and power, and toss them on a city street corner with a bottle of listerine.
