Archbishop Tutu calls Robert Mugabe 'bonkers'

Archbishop Desmond Tutu says Robert Mugabe is "bonkers".

He has called on the Zimbabwe president to hand over leadership, claiming he isn't "as sensible as he used to be".

The Archbishop says Mugabe used to be one Africa's best leaders but will only be remembered for being power crazy.

He said: "It is a great sadness what has happened to President Mugabe. He was one of Africa's best leaders, a bright spark, a debonair, well-spoken and well-read person."

He added: "Mugabe seems to have gone bonkers in a big way.

"It is very dangerous when you subvert the rule of law in your country, when you don't even respect the judgments of your judges, when there is no security for your citizens, when one section of your community is immune and above the laws of the country - then you are on the slippery slope of perdition."
