This looks like the beginning of sanity, at least the international community has started to realise the badness in this wayward regime, which many Zimbabweans have been aware of for so long. How do you explain millions of Zimbabweans doing menial jobs in diaspora? It is quite important to facilitate and ensure that Zimbabweans everywhere are for the 1st time able to choose their own leaders freely, without fear of being killed for their choice.

Time for silent diplomacy is now clearly over. I hope this indicates a sentiment of mercy from the South African government towards the people of Zimbabwe that to some extent equals the great respect they have showed towards the Mugabe regime. We are now dealing with an illegitimate government that sabotaged the democratic process of it's country to hold onto power. There cannot be reconciliation without truth and there cannot be truth while perpetrators of crimes against humanity is policing the streets of Zimbabwe. Zimbabwe needs Robert Mugabe to step down or it needs an international peace keeping force.

Too many South African political bigwigs have their fingers in the pie in zimbabwe making oodles of money to want the gravy train to hit the buffers..so it serves their interest to "negotiate" a deal which leaves mugabe in power..that way their vested interests are protected! Once the ARV's stop working poor old Bobojan will drop dead and then what??? Not long now!

Truth is served only if supported by force applied to restrain evil when needed.

UNO should be reorganized. The world body should have power to expel member nations if they violate human rights,or do crimes such as indulging in terrorist actvities, drug trade etc. An international military alliance under UN command should apply force to remove the self claimed appointees of "GOD". Such maniac dictators and thugs should not be allowed to thrive under the name of soverginity of nations. Sovergininty is for nation ;not for dictators and terrorists. UNO is provig itself to be a powerless organiation and waste as it has become tools in the hands of BIG powers.What it could do in Darfur and many other places?

Where do you live? l do not think you are in Great Zimbabwe or do have relations/family in there. Death is not a thing for one's family. I am not a coward but l want to live. l note that people who want WAR always make sure they a couple thousands miles away from the fighting. FORCE, BY-FORCE, PRESSURE, APPLY PRESSURE.... words you are fond of. Those who attacked Saddam did not stop when Saddam and his sons died. They slaughtered children (living and unborn), women and animals (domestic and otherwise. l do not wish that sort of thing on my people. Koofi Annan and Tutu do not live in Zimbabwe. By the way there is BLACK in a rainbow .... did Tutu not realise that?

Shame Mugabe killed 20,000 of his own people then isnt it. And didnt hesitate to murder more and more to keep power this time round. He's a genocidal maniac. But then akafunboy, what would you know, you think world war 1 and 2 only involved England and Germany. Imbecile!

PS - I made a list of countries who participated in the second world war, just to educate you. Please study up, I plan to test you. Andorra Argentina Armenia Australia Austria Azerbaijan Bahrain Belgium Bolivia Brazil Bulgaria Canada Ceylon Chile China Colombia Costa Rica Cuba Czechoslovakia Denmark Dominican Republic Ecuador Egypt El Salvador Estonia Ethiopia Fiji Finland France Germany Georgia Gibraltar Greece Guatemala Haiti Honduras Hong Kong Hungary Iceland India Indonesia Iran Iraq Ireland Italy Japan Korea Laos Latvia Lebanon Liberia Liechtenstein Lithuania Luxembourg Malaya Malta Manchukuo Mexico Monaco Mongolia Morocco Nauru Nepal Netherlands Netherlands East Indies Newfoundland New Zealand Nicaragua Northern Rhodesia Norway Oman Panama Paraguay Peru Philippines Poland Portugal Romania San Marino Saudi Arabia Singapore South Africa Southern Rhodesia Soviet Union Spain Sweden Switzerland Syria Tannu Tuva Thailand Tonga Transjordan Turkey United Kingdom United States of America Uruguay Vatican Venezuela Yemen Yugoslavia

THE TIME FOR WORDS ARE PASS. FOR AFRICA AND AFRICANS KILL THE ONE AND SAVE THE MILLIONS. EVIL MUST BE CRUSHED BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY. WHERE EVIL STRIVES THE DEEDS OF GOOD MEN ARE TRAMPLED UPON.

Great Zimbabwe??? LMAO for sure now...ha ha ha. Not so Great Britain is it??? I think I know why these Mugabe apologists are so supportive of him now. It just dawned on me this very minute. It is the only time they will ever be able to say they were MULTI BILLIONARIES and they are worried once he goes they will lose that status..come own up now..that is the reason isnt it??? LOL

aka...please do a bit more homework before spraying us with your biased inaccurate posts. Once Saddam and his sons and henchmen were taken care of the USA and British Army called it a day...and not long after that the Sunni and Shiite started slaughtering one another..just as they have been to this day..it is not the USA or British strapping bombs to their bodies and detonating them in public squares, mosques or marketplaces...I know in your one track mind and in an ideal world you would sooner blame the USA and Britain for the worlds ills but just once in a while exercise a little honesty and tell the truth..either that or do a bit more homework!

It's time for the moderates in ZanuPF to stand up and reject the military Junta and form a transitional government with the MDC who after all won 73% in the first round vote. The Police should defy the bird brained police chief Augustine Chihuri and Emmerson Mnangagwa and arrest the perpetrators of the murders which would terrify the drug induced ZanuPF youths Ambush and blow up Gideon Gono and his German blood money printing press.Suicidal Chiwenga would hopefully achieve what he tried to do over 20 years ago. Peace would then descend on one of the worlds friendliest people

Oh I forgot, The United Snouts and Belligerent Brits please stay out of it, the one performed genocide and almost annihilated a whole race and the other invented concentration camps in Africa which slaughtered tens of thousands of women and children, and 35 years later the Germans perfected to the horror of mankind. The unseen maker/s might find humour in your hypocrisy but we Africans shudder at it.

You ask the Americans and the British to stay out of it and yet when they refuse to give you their money you start sniveling. What hypocrites!

Can we get back to the FACTS of 80% unemployment, 1,000,000% inflation and 30% of the population of Zimbabwe living outside it's borders?

ZANU-PF/Mugabe has "achieved", in the words of Nelson Mandela, "A tragic failure of leadership"! Does anyone want to argue the wisdom of Nelson Mandela? Phiri? Kuba? Anyone? Does anyone doubt that Mr. Mandela would have been happy/ectstatic to inherit South Africa in the state that Mr. Mugabe found Zimbabwe in 19080?

A country once the breadbasket of Africa, a net-exporter relegated to a net-importer of foodstuffs, a country where a secrecy of the ballot-box no longer applies, a country where freedom of conscience no longer applies. What can ZANU-PF/Mugabe fear from a free election when they have so nobly served the people of Zimbabwe under their stewardship?

ZANU-PF/Mugabe has only delivered independence from white-rule, nothing else! It is one thing to lead a laberation, it is quite another to govern for the benefit of all liberated persons. ZANU-PF/Mugabe has failed in that and, to them, the PEOPLE of Zimbabwe, have had the temerity to renounce them!

Sadly, we are far from the end-game. Mugabe cannot rule Zimbabwe now with the MDC in control of parliament. His only option is too disband parliament, for which the people of Zimbabwe, and the world, will call him to account.

The game is being played into "injury-time", but even if Mugabe prevails in the travesty that is the "run-off" he will be unable to govern, and the MDC dominated parliament will continually "nip at the heels" of the ZANU-PF/Mugabe establishment until they are rendered feeble.

A change is going to come, just not within the timeframe we all hoped an prayed it would come within! The FACTS do not support the continuation of the current regime!
