Zimbabwe.....

The last I heard was, uncle Bob is staying. Is that true??

[Carl Wrbka]

Dunno. Last I heard, he's now dying of cancer? Either way, he's going.

[Lance Olivier]

He'll have to be forced out somehow (politically of course). As far as I'm concerned he won't relinquish power Mike. President for life remember. As for Mbeki's quiet diplomacy, I believe Bob's wife is related to Mbeki somehow, obviously got to keep quiet. But then again I've never been able to understand how Mbeki can walk upright without a backbone. Surely he should be swaying and flopping all over the place. I heard something on Kfm today, 1 o'clock news, and Morgand Tsvangerai said that all rallies leading up to the 'run off" elections had been banned. Didn't catch the full story. Very, very sad for such a beautiful country to go to the doldrums.

Read in the Sunday Times ..  mad Bob says  " Only God will remove me !!"  and then I see a newsflash on box .. apperntly a MDC insider says Morgan Tsangvirai  will anounce his withdrawal form the run up ..  If so such awful news ..
Now If we the  western world  WASP  BASP and Catholic alike were to take the stance of our   dishcloth wearing counterparts  from the  oil rich countries .. and  declare his  statement  ,, especially using  the name of God  by a man  as Evil as him as blasphemy we could also declare  a " Holy war "   and make him a  marked man ??  maybe the  fundamentalists of the American deep south could join in the fray ?/ they pretty radical aint they ??
I am a person who refrains from wishing bad on someone cos i believe in the  divine wheel of retribution  .. but  tonight i am going to light a candle in solidarity of those poor souls in  Zim that might have to suffer again  under his despotic rule ... and yes pray for something to happen , somehow   divine  intervention has to happen ..  he has to be   taken away  .. even if the  Dveil does not want him as he regards him as  stiff  competition  in  being evil ..
The only hope is  also  some   his neighbours  and other  african  counterparts ( excepting  good old Sa  and  wise  leader Thabob Mugabeki )  are now  breaking ranks  and  saying  he  is  out  of  line .. ABOUT  DAMMN TIME !!  pity  almost too late ...  Oh how I hate bad news  but then thats the  gamble  of living .. we take the  bad with the good hey ?/

I'm afraid, we are gonna have to wait till Mad Bob hits a natural death... thats the only way that bastard will be dethroned....... I think he is 85 now anyhow..... and all those youth mobs on the rampage should have war crimes against them...

[Alfred Boehme]

Morgan Tsangvirai has withdraw on the news this morning 

[Skinny]

Word on the street is that there is a US$25million price tag on Bobs head. Now that would be worth taking him out for. Maybe after watching last nights movie,on MNET surely some one, somewhere, could do it? SAS, Navy Seals, KOEVOET, 32 Battalion I dont know but some one surely can do some thing. After all he killed thousands and is responsible for bringing down a beautiful country. I am surprised that the International Courts just let this type of thing happen. Surely they can go and arrest him for war crimes? Maybe they have no back bone either?

[Bertie Horak]

I dont know what we as normal citizens of the neighboring country can do.  Well, our government certainly havn't got the guts or backbone to stand up for the suffering people next door.  It feels like we are just watching while our neighbor is slapping his kids to death!

quote skinny ..  Word on the street is that there is a US$25million price tag on Bobs head  Ok   folks  pass around the hat and lets  increase the bounty  .. every  hard earned ZAR  or  N$  will  help ..
In the  meantime  .. how  many of  you  are  going to do the same as  me .. light a  candle every night and  pray  for  something  good to happen ,  to  affect some  change  .. to relieve  those  poor  people of  that  murderous  despot .. ??   there  is  power  in that ..

Some one needs to make a fuss about an oil well discovered deep in the depths of Zim. Selouki seems a good spot. The oil is right next to a gold deposit! Some one let the USA know. They will have uncle Bob in no time!

[Skinny]

The Yanks will first have to find ZIm on the Globe before they will even look at it. They only learn about a country in geography when they go to war! It is amazing though if there really was oil there they would be there like white mussels are in Henties bay. Maybe we should email Gearge bush and tell him that Vic falls has turned into beef jerky and that will get them there!!!! Or even better Tell Barack Obama that we found his long lost relatives living in poverty in Harare and they are starving. That might work.

[Tamara Hogan]

Maybe, just maybe....

[Carl Wrbka]

Latest reports are saying that Morgan Tsangvirai as a person may withdraw from the elections, but the MDC as a political party must continue to contest the election. Maybe theres hope still.
