CROONING tyrant Robert Mugabe was yesterday celebrating the success of his first POP single � in which he blasts Britain. The croaky song by the ruthless African dictator, 87, is being blared across his homeland of Zimbabwe � thanks to his regime giving it away.
The track � called What Shall We Do? � was recorded with a group called Born Free Crew and has received non-stop airplay on state TV and radio.
Mugabe's minister of information produced the jangling Afropop song � which is even being blasted out on buses in capital Harare.
Political expert Takura Zhangazha said: "It's a calculated move to try to sell the image of the 87-year-old leader to voters who are over 18."
Mugabe's 24-year iron grip on Zimbabwe has left the once prosperous nation dirt poor.
Half the population are jobless.
