WHILE YOU WERE SLEEPING [Jubilant scenes following Mugabe's downfall](http://email.touchbasepro.com/t/d-l-uhiuyhk-l-c/) Zimbabweans in Harare and South Africa took to the streets last night, celebrating the end of a long-overdue dictator.

Very little is certain about the country's future, but there will surely be more than a few hangovers this morning. [Uber kept massive hack a secret](http://email.touchbasepro.com/t/d-l-uhiuyhk-l-q/) Some 57-million users have had their personal data stolen from Uber for more than a year. The ride-sharing app, meanwhile, opted not to tell you this for the duration. Chief executive Dara Kosrowshahi, leading a reputational clean-up campaign, said: "None of this should have happened, and I will not make excuses for it." He promptly fired the two individuals most responsible for the cover-up. Somewhere in Uber's HQ, a fissure leading directly to hell must surely have opened up.

Twenty percent of men reported sexual harassment, with most in both groups experiencing it in the workplace. The poll involved 1,415 American voters, showing a relatively small, but important, slice of the depth of sexual harassment in the US. — IN NUMBERS 180 The DSTV channel you can switch over to and watch the Daily Maverick Gathering live on Thursday.
