President Robert Mugabe chanting “tongai,
tongai baba” (rule, rule father) have endorsed the 92-year-old leader
for a 2018 election run
The endorsement, which is likely to result in his 36-year rule being
extended, was greeted with thunderous applause by thousands of party
faithful attending the ruling ZANU-PF’s annual conference
Mugabe accepted dressed in a green floral jacket bearing his own portrait and a map of Zimbabwe.
The veteran leader has held power since independence from British
colonial rule in 1980 and has always avoided naming a successor or
laying out plans to retire
He once joked that he would rule until he turned 100.
