The Archbishop said Mr Mugabe was formerly Africa's best leaders but will be tainted with a legacy of being power crazy.
"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 said. "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."
