I am not surprised to hear this and well I appaud the UN putting the pressure on Mugabe and his regime. South Africa's government shopuld be ashamed of itself for joing China and Russia for blocking UN intervention. That alone should tell you Mbeki is partial to Mugabe so remove him from having any part in the mediation talks. The longer this goes on the more everyone is assured that Mugabe is at work to ensure he wins the election which many have known for a long time. So the time for talking has come and gone now it is... [Read Full Text]

The issue of doing things according to law creates a very interesting phenomenon. On one hand Chinamasa says all issues should be done according to the laws of Zimbabwe.Fair enough,especially if those laws are seen to be in favour of his intensions. On the other hand ZEC Chairman,Chiweshe, says some laws are unrealistic. All these are laws of Zimbabwe,designed and approved by Zimbabweans,to serve Zimbabweans. Pafunge!

If the re run is extended to beyond the 25 May then surely Morgan Tsvangirai should be acting President from the 26 May. Would it be legal for Bob who came in second to rule just because he thinks he should?

Let us not wish for things that never happen. People usually desire eliminating reality and assume their wishful dreams will come true. Open your eyes and visualize. PRESIDENT MUGABE the tried and tested rigid leader who will not allow such events to occur. There is no way Tsvangirai is going to be acting president nor be the president after the 25th of May. Our nation and sovereignty are well protected by the current leader. If he has to play tricks to make sure that he protects the country, let that happen. After all, the 29th of March election were not... [Read Full Text]

You call what Mugabe is doing, "playing tricks"? I think you are a master/mistress of understatement if you call what happened in Matebeleland a mere trick. One day maybe he and Charles Taylor may share a cell to talk about their, "tricks". As for tried and tested, he certainty has tried and on current performance he's failed the test. I read an article yesterday talking about the civil service wage bill and the payments to, "war-veterans" in terms of QUADRILLIONS OF DOLLARS. Some alleged war vets appear to be a little young to even remember the war. Mugabe is yet... [Read Full Text]

Kudzai. why then wasting resources on elections if President Mugabe is the only leader who can rule Zimbambwe. I can see that you are a true Zanu-PF member but I think we should accept the changes for the benefit of all Zimbambweans. The white colonial oppressors left Zimbambwe 28 years ago and now they might be laughing at us because it is like we cant do without them. Everything that go wrong in Southern Africa it is blamed on colonial oppressions. Or maybe democracy is just unAfrican!

Mwatile Ndinoshiho, do not lose hope. African democracy is very much at play by the majority who voted for fair play and change in Zimbabwe.

This is getting a wee bit farcical and really grating on the nerves of a battered people. After waiting for the MDC to announce its decision on the run-off they now turn around and say it can't be held- the law is an ass- so they tell us.

What was the purpose of engineering a run-off if there was no money to run it? And as a responsible government, as it would want us to believe, shouldn't contingency measures have been put in place for such an eventuality? Mugabe & Co are behaving as if they have not... [Read Full Text]
