When elections are rigged by a regime in power, and the opposition is being systematically assassinated, how does Mbeki propose we ‘resolve’ things?

Mbeki has conveniently ignored the fact that both ZANU(PF) in Zimbabwe and the ANC in South Africa only ever succeeded in their liberation struggle because of direct military, moral and financial support by neighbouring African states, Russia, China, and many western governments.

After Mbeki has finished re-arranging the deck-chairs on the good ship Zimbabwe, history will judge him by the amount of blood covering the deck.

I very much fear that now there will be a race from firms in China and suchlike to supply the paper that the German firm has stopped supplying. and to ease Dr Gono’s concience regarding the increasingly surreal denominations on the banknotes, especially as the civil servants will soon be demanding their salaries in trillions of dollars, the bank chief is expected to announce a currency re-issue soon when he will simply chop nine zeros off, i.e. ten billion miraculously becomes ten dollars again. Easy peasy!

He said that Mugabe was now aiming at regaining Zanu-PF’s majority in Parliament.
He claimed that the plan was to launch a campaign of targeted assassinations of MDC MPs
to create room for by-elections which would then be rigged through violence.

As regards the Senate, there Mugabe is assured of a comfortable majority, as a constitutional provision which is already in place for the upper house will allow him to appoint an extra 33 senators from his own party.

This is so unbelievable! Let’s all send emails to all SA govt contacts and UN contacts in the database.

Let’s stop Mbeki’s support for mugabe & co.

All these Mugabe regime hooligans haven’t learned anything in 28 years and need to be taught one severe lesson as soon as possible.

1. Mbeki

I just cannot figure this guy out!
Here he is in the twilight of his career risking his entire reputation and future
recognition,supporting our cruel, dishonest,
aging dictator - why?
Is it because his wife and the “First Shopper” are related?
Is it because he cannot criticise his elder? Is he still in awe over Mugabe’s liberation record? Surely not a good enough reason to risk all over.
Is it because he’s waiting for Zimbabwe’s economy to hit bottom so he can rush in and
buy up valuable assets for a pittance to boost his retirement fund? I doubt it.
Is it because “our” dictator has him blackmailed for some darstedly secret? Maybe?
Does China and/or Russia have him blackmailed?

What say all of you?

2. FIFA - World Cup 2010

We have been extremely successful in our recent campaigns to stop the Chinese “arms of war” ship and just this week in putting a stop to the supply of Gono’s precious bank note paper.

While we’re talking about Mbeki and the need
for Africa to come up with a credible solution for Zimbabwe’s crisis [did I say "crisis?" - sorry - please don't let Thabo see this], the most dramatic evidence of such a solution will be the World Cup in 2010.
Very much a symbol of African capacity to host a global event and one that captures the imaginations of millions of African soccer fans, the controlling authority of FIFA on Friday stated that they had a contingency plan to move the World Cup away from Africa if, in their judgment, conditions were not right.
It was a signal, not seen by many, but it was a clear indication that African leadership is on notice.

Shall we start a “stop the World Cup” campaign now, because surely by 2010, South Africa will be far too dangerous a venue for the event with rabid Zimbabwe right on its doorstep?
