Can Zimbabwe afford another fives more years of Mugabe rule?

Robert Mugabe will be inaugurated as the next president of Zimbabwe for the next five years on Sunday after a bogus ‘landslide’ victory in his Mugabe versus Mugabe election run-off.
The election has been widely condemned and African observers said it was unfair and scarred by violence and intimidation.

Government sources said Robert Mugabe’s swearing in for a new five-year term of office was imminent: “The ceremony is going to be at 3 p.m (1300GMT) and the invitations are being sent out.”

Mugabe was the only candidate after Morgan Tsvangirai of the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) withdrew because of government backed violence against his supporters. The opposition MDC says nearly 90 of its supporters have been killed by Mugabe’s militias and Morgan Tsvangirai was arrested on several occasions before he pulled out of the election.

With Mugabe set to be president for the next five years, what is the future like for Zimbabwe?
Whatever Mugabe decides to do next, Zimbabwe will never be the same again after this bogus election.
