Mugabe has got to go. But it seems neither SADC, South Africa or any of his governing peers (read African leaders) are prepared to get rid of him.
The situation in Zimbabwe has reached cataclysmic proportions, and still the region's leaders seem hamstrung by some force of which the rest of us are clueless, to take any decisive action. Mugabe has flouted every rule in the book, but remains defiant, at times daring SADC to challenge him.
Even the Zimbabwean people themselves seem to be stagnating amid the collapse of their once prosperous country - as if waiting for sanity to prevail or for the man who has failed them so spectacularly to miraculously see the error of his own ways.
Surely the writing is on the wall, with our own peace Archbishop Desmond Tutu suggesting that, with no other options left, Mugabe should be forced out.
So, let it be then...
