PRESIDENT Robert Mugabe has been judged the third worst African leader by a popular African website.

According to the latest rankings published by AnswersAfrica.com, which focuses on African affairs, Zimbabwe's founding leader helped bring freedom to Zimbabweans only to get power drunk, and has refused to step down since 1980.

"President Mugabe has helped bring freedom to Zimbabweans only to get power drunk, and has refused to step down since 1980," reads the site.

"It is true that his government has recorded commendable growth in some facets such as education, agriculture and GDP growth, yet, Mugabe's inadequacies, overshadow his achievements.

"Mugabe is an odd man when it comes to dictators. He has the illusion of democracy on one hand while he oppresses the white people with the other.

"...The 91 year old tyrant has vowed not to step down despite having ruled the Southern African state for 35 years."
