IS MUGABE REALLY DYING OF CANCER?
Various media reports claim the health of Zimbabwe dictator Robert Mugabe is quickly deteriorating and he may be dying of cancer.Recent photos show a frail Mugabe having to be led around by aides. The Zimbabwe Mail reports that a special motorized wheelchair is being built for the 86-year-old dictator and his home is being refitted for special medical purposes.The article does not say that Mugabe is dying, but rather that “old age” and a deteriorating health, including swollen ankles, are forcing him to severely limit his role as Zimbabwe president. Mugabe collapsed at two separate public speaking events recently, one in Uganda and the other in China.Both Zim Daily and ZimEye, however, report Mugabe has been diagnosed with cancer in the last few months. The reports claim his personal urologist Awang Kechick has told Mugabe the disease is spreading faster than any treatment can help.Speculation that Mugabe may really be dying has been fueled by South African ANCYL leader Julius Malema‘s surprising call for him to step down after ruling Zimbabwe for 30 years with an iron fist.“In as much as we support the revolutionary program in Zimbabwe, President Mugabe must hand over to those young chaps so that we engage with [them] on the same level. We will never agree with permanent leadership,” Malema said, while praising the Zanu-PF’s racist “land redistribution program.”Some reports have said Mugabe has already chosen a successor, Finance Minister Simba Makoni, head of his own political party, MKD. Makoni has denied the claims in a press statement released on Saturday.Zimbabwe is set to hold elections next year, but reports say the country may be too poor to have them.i think i should be the next successors,from Telecommunications technician to President,how do you like that?zim here come your new president.To all those who love Robert Gabriel Mugabe(president)dont mind the first picture his no dead yet just taking a nap at a conference.

Wyclef Jean for President
Hip-hop, more than most pop genres, is something of a pulpit, urban fire and brimstone garbed in baggy pants and backward caps. So it's little wonder that one of the music form's icons, Haitian-American superstar Wyclef Jean, is the son of a Nazarene preacher - or that he likens himself, as a child of the Haitian diaspora, to a modern-day Moses, destined to return and lead his people out of bondage. Haiti's Jan. 12 earthquake, which ravaged the western hemisphere's poorest country and killed more than 200,000 people, was the biblical event that sealed his calling. After days of helping ferry mangled Haitian corpses to morgues, Jean felt as if he'd "finished the journey from my basket in the bulrushes to standing in front of the burning bush," he told me this week. "I knew I'd have to take the next step."
That would be running for President of Haiti. Jean told Time he is going to announce his candidacy for the Nov. 28 election just days before the Aug. 7 deadline. One plan that was discussed, loaded with as much Mosaic symbolism as a news cycle can hold, called for him to declare his candidacy on Aug. 5 upon arriving in Port-au-Prince from New York, where he grew up after leaving Haiti with his family at age 9. "If not for the earthquake, I probably would have waited another 10 years before doing this," Jean says. "The quake drove home to me that Haiti can't wait another 10 years for us to bring it into the 21st century." Jean sees no contradiction between his life as an artist and his ambitions as a politician. "If I can't take five years out to serve my country as President," he argues, "then everything I've been singing about, like equal rights, doesn't mean anything." (Watch the video of Wyclef Jean discussing his plans to run for president of Haiti.)It's tempting to dismiss this as flaky performance art, a publicity stunt from the same guy who just a few years ago recorded a number called "President" that included the refrain "If I was President." But Jean's chances as well as his motives seem solid. And there are good reasons for Haitians - and the U.S.-led international donor community, which is bankrolling Haiti's long slog to the 21st century - to take this particular hip-hop politician seriously. Pop-culture celebrity hardly disqualifies you from high office today. (The last time I looked, an action hero was still running California.) And in Haiti, where half the population of about 9 million is under age 25, it's an asset as golden as a rapper's chains. Amid Haiti's gray postquake rubble, Jean is far more popular with that young cohort than their chronically corrupt and inept mainstream politicians are, and he'll likely galvanize youth participation in the election. More important, Jean stands to prove that fame can do more than lift voter turnout - or raise millions of dollars for earthquake victims, as his YÉle Haiti (Haiti Freedom Cry) foundation has this year. His presidential run, win or lose, could build a long-awaited bridge between Haiti and its diaspora: a legion of expatriates and their progeny, many of them successful in pursuits spanning every field, who number 800,000 in the U.S. alone. International aid managers agree that Haiti really can't recover from the quake unless it taps into the education, capital, entrepreneurial drive and love for mother country that Jean epitomizes - even if his French (one of Haiti's official languages) is poor and his Creole (the other) is rusty. "A lot of Haitians are excited about this," says Marvel Dandin, a popular Port-au-Prince radio broadcaster. "Given the awful situation in Haiti right now," he says, "most people don't care if the President speaks fluent Creole." Accentuating the PositiveJean's celebrity candidacy at least promises to keep an erratic media more regularly focused on Haiti's awful situation. International donors have pledged some $10 billion in aid, but seven months after the earthquake, mountains of shattered concrete still choke Port-au-Prince's streets, and more than a million people remain homeless, trapped in squalid tent cities as a sclerotic government bureaucracy and loosely organized aid groups struggle to relocate them to decent temporary shelters. The Caribbean hurricane season, which reaches its peak in about a month, threatens to make conditions even uglier. (See exclusive photos of the destruction in Haiti.)
