ZIMBABWE president Robert Mugabe has lifted the lid on the future of his iron rule.
In a bombshell radio broadcast, the dictator revealed he has no plans to step down ahead of his 93rd birthday on Tuesday.
He said he is yet to find an “acceptable” replacement to fill his shoes.
But admitted he “will step down” if his party call for him to retire.
“[In such circumstances] I will step down.
“But then what do you see? It’s the opposite. They want me to stand for elections.”
Mugabe has ruled over Zimbabwe with an iron fist since the country gain independence in 1980.
He once joked that he would stay in power for 100 years.
