Speaking on the possible points President Mugabe is likely to hammer home at the Summit, Political commentator, Alouis Hove, indicated that President Mugabe has a lot of exhibit to showcase how as Zimbabwe's President and icon of Africa has pushed for providing a decent living for all through eradication of poverty. Hove submitted that "in President Mugabe, Africa has an ideal mould of a true African revolutionary icon whose beliefs have been demonstrated through the recent donation of US$1 million to the African Union to finance its operations.
