Robert Mugabe never falls short of antics and drama- for you see, he has perfected the old art of "the strongest man in the world is the man who stands alone.
When the 91 year old president is not falling off staircases, he is busy making references to the grave Kenyan vice of corruption or coming up with draconian rules for the LGBT community. Like his recently passed law that legalizes same sex marriage with a requirement that if they don't get a baby in an year, they'll be thrown into jail. How wise? It is true that age engenders wisdom.
Now, a few days ago, African leaders were in Delhi, india for a forum, the 40 of them had a regulation cotton-silk vest or kurta conforming with the age old Indian tradition, however Robert Mugabe, the 91-year-old Zimbabwean president, stood in a grey suit at the front of the group photo; looking out of place like a peach on a mango tree. No one tells Mugabe what to wear or what to do, Mugabe does what Mugabe wishes!
Maybe Mugabe fancies himself different and probably more intellectually gifted than his African counterparts. Wisdom of the ages tells us that every market has a mad man.
