Mugabe has been playing the role of Fidel for the past thirty years with his family living lavish while the common man suffered. Memories of Mugabe's revolutionary activities were bound to be forgotten after decades of cronyism, nepotism, corruption, mismanagement, etc.. To me this is a lesson about unchecked power which includes failing instincts as one becomes elderly because Mugabe didn't see it coming. He thought his family was supposed to rule like this forever.
Hopefully the new leadership will leverage their resources and maybe their people will get some assistance in the form of infrastructure and labor. If that means Western countries "assisting" them in that regards well then its a necessary evil. Welcome to the 21st century Zimbabwe, hopefully.
