‘Mugabe endgame begins’

A FORMER British Cabinet minister has claimed President Robert Mugabe was preparing for an endgame, suggesting the end was nigh for the long-time ruler, but this has drawn a strong response from Zimbabwe.

Peter Mandelson suggested Mugabe’s rule was nearing its end, but predicted chaos if Zimbabwe did not receive a bailout.

According to an article published by The Express (UK), Mandelson warned the British government of a “crisis that threatens to unfold soon”, saying the international community must “establish the right incentives for reformers”.
