HAH:
the Zimbabwe's constitution have no term limits for elected officials, Mugabe always win the election because the poor electorate are with him since he collected valuable farming land from whites and redistributed it to them, the white hitherto owned 80% of arable land in Zimbabwe and they are less than 5% at independence and now only 1% of Zimbabwe are whites.

On the issues of sacking VP, not all democracies are like that of Nigeria or the USA where the president and VP are running mates, in many countries VP are actually appointed like a minister and can be sacked by the president at will

Hope I made some points
Good points. I actually learnt afterwards that a Vice President in Zimbabwe is appointed by the President. He can also sack him at will. But if indeed the country is running a true democracy, why should the Constitution allow a President to have unlimited terms, considering the powers of an incumbent to manipulate elections in his favour? In my view, Zimbabawe is yet to adopt a real democratic system of government.

Mugabe is the only President Zimbabwe had since its independence, so with him certainly they have realized the mistake in their Constitution and I believe after Mugabe there will be amendments

There should be amendment of the Constitution if the country is sure that they want to practice democracy. For now, they are either practicing a monarchical form of government or dictatorship. Period!
