Robert who?

摘要

ROBERT MUGABE SQUARE, a grassy patch in central Harare, will host a congress of Zimbabwe's ruling party in December. Unforeseen events have made this an awkwardly named venue. Since Mr Mugabe was booted from power his comrades have scrubbed his image from the home page of the party's web- site. As the congress tent goes up, everyone is trying to remember to call the spot by its informal name, Freedom Square. Like countless other places in Zimba- bwe-including Harare's airport-it had been renamed in honour of the man who bragged that he would rule until he died.
