 Mail & Guardian Online: Africa's first online newspaper: Re: Zimbabwe and Robert Mugabe
Edson Zvobgo who was fired by Bob in about 1998/9 has been reinstalled in ZANU PF and in all likeleness, he is to take over from Bob before the year end.
Edson was a fanatic at one time, even more so than Bob but apparently he became more of a democratic than Bob and challenged Bob's ideas and plans but now that the Zim's Govt is taking international strain and so forth, it appears as though the writing may be on the wall for Bob.
There may be some truth in this as I am sure that ZANU PF would rather have Edson in the hot seat than their oppersition leader, Morgan or any of his party.
