Your vote will ensure you benefit from the agricultural mechanization programme.

They keep raising and raising prices, and we wonder whether they want to raise the prices until the prices reach heaven ... Some are doing it for the elections saying: Let's make life hard for the people so that they cry and blame it all on Mugabe's government. Getting 1 000 percent profit. That's not profit. That's profiteering which is condemned in the bible.

Robert Mugabe's blames businesses for the increasing prices in the face of a hyperinflation rate of more than 150,000% (at date of entering this quote!)

We are trying (to provide food) but our maize is still across the Zambezi (river between Zambia and Zimbabwe). It seems they have no sense of urgency. They are working as if everything is normal.

Robert Mugabe's blames Zambia for the shortages of food in the country.

The British had identified people within Zanu-PF to work with in causing divisions in the party because it realised the ruling party was a united revolutionary liberation movement that had to be destroyed from within

Robert Mugabe's blames the British for the fact that Simba Makoni, a former Zanu PF Finance Minister, has decided to stand against him in the March 2008 elections

The struggles within the party that have taken place, and in some cases little wars, have been settled. At the end of the day, we have this congregation with me at the head ... You who are here with us, I hope I trust you, all of you. Some politicians are sell outs, political prostitutes, political charlatans and two-headed political creatures.

What has happened now is absolutely disgraceful. I didn't think that Makoni, after all this experience, would behave like this ... I compared him to a prostitute. A prostitute could have done better than Makoni, because she has clients. Don't you think so?

Speaking about Simba Makoni, a former Zanu PF Finance Minister who registered to run as an Independent against Robert Mugabe in the 2008 elections

He is like the frog which puffed itself up so much, trying to get to the size of an ox. The frog kept doing this until it burst.

Speaking about Simba Makoni, a former Zanu PF Finance Minister who registered to run as an Independent against Robert Mugabe in the 2008 elections

He is arrogant - he thinks by virtue of his being white, by virtue of his being the prime minister of Great Britain, he can dictate to us.

Zanu-PF has degrees in violence.

When they criticise the government when it tries to prevent violence and punish perpetrators of that violence we take the position that they can go hang.
