That was my read on it as well; the party elders didn’t want their own “Winnie Mugabe” seizing power.

As for the whites, most of those that were willing to remain in Africa are already hard at work feeding neighboring countries - after those countries made generous concessions to lure them there to ply their trade.

People automatically assume that the fall of an autocrat means that something better will take its place. They do so in spite of all historical (and recent) evidence to the contrary. You need only look at the post-"Arab Spring" Middle East to see what happens when one autocrat is gone: he's replaced with a worse one, or else the nation descends into even worse chaos.

I suspect that Mangangwa will persecute Zimbabwe's whites even more than Mugabe did, because he needs to prove his bona fides to the masses, and his basketcase of a country needs a scapegoat.

Glad to learn that. I hope they are safe now.

...Until a few years down the road, and they, too decide to purge the White Devil®.

I agreed with African American Studies Professor Clarence Munford, but for entirely different reasons, when Munford said: “There is NO REASON for white men to be in Africa”.
