Today’s R&D covers Zimbabwean politics.  Since President Robert Mugabe is ninety years old, there is a great deal of uncertainty about what the country’s political future will look like.  The country has only had two presidents since it gained official independence in 1980 and Mugabe has ruled since 1987.  Recently, Mugabe’s wife, Grace, entered national politics after winning an endorsement to become the next head of Zanu-PF’s women’s league.
