Robert Mugabe

Thought he was dead, too, bummer. Is he the highest denomination unit of overinflated currency?

The new of the day, suit aside, is that he'll contest the 2018 election at the age of 94.

*news

he is pretty good at not getting overthrown and evading the grim reaper so far, so looking like a complete cunt is quite low on his list of concerns. Lol that blazer was surely designed by some 1st year textiles student or something.

this skirt is pretty neat, especially as Comrade Bob looks like he's re-enacting the "old man yells at cloud" picture

He is also incredibly fastidious about clothing. Men may not enter a Zimbabwe court or the public gallery of parliament without a shirt, tie and jacket. When some argued that African country MPs and spectators should at least be allowed to wear African clothes, such as robes and jellabahs, a minor concession was made - safari suits are now allowed. "There is no mix and match around Bob," says one former colleague. "Everything has to be ironed flat, sharp, coordinated and very conservative."

this is from a Gary Younge article published in 2001, so I guess he's loosened up a bit in recent years? (a is still wearing a shirt, tie and jacket though, I suppose)

I remember reading somewhere that when the Blair govt banned him from travelling to the UK he was particularly upset about no longer being able to shop at Savile Row

huh, goes by the name of Bob

here's a better picture of the Mugabe skirt
