Is the monster on his way out?
The outline of a deal has almost been reached for Zimbabwe's President Robert Mugabe to step down, opposition sources have told the BBC.
They say representatives of Mr Mugabe, military chiefs and the opposition have held meetings chaired by South Africa since Saturday's elections.
The sources said Mr Mugabe would make the announcement on television, but his aides have denied the reports.
I don't know if I dare believe that the sole destroyer of Zimbabwe could be sent packing, but I really hope this is true. Sub-Saharan Africa has really been dealt a vicious hand in rulers after the colonial era, but Mugabe has turned out to be an extreme example - a leader who can turn gold into bricks with his touch.
