Mugabe, Tsvangirai signing-off statements

It was probably the most anticipated speech in his 37 years of power, but Robert Mugabe caught many off guard when he concluded his speech with "Iwe neni tinebasa" and "Asante sana" (Thank you very much), plus a few other African tribal statements translating to the same. Ailing MDC-T leader was not to be outdone. Sensing that his days as MDC-T leader are numbered, Tsvangirai signed off his 2018 New Year message with "munhu wese kubasa."
