If Irag is banished from the Olympics, how on earth is Zimbabwe, Sudan, Burma etc. allowed in?

China should get an earful of complaints via the IOC.

The split seemed to come out of nowhere, especially for those of us trying to follow the issue from afar.

I realize it’s hard since so much of the discussion and decision-making is now taking place out of the public eye, but could Hope or someone post on what their understanding of the issues between the tendencies?

Have been the worst cowards, doing their nocturnal murderous activities. While zanu signs the fake memo of agreement with the MDC, this goes on.

A headman was also part of this!? A community leader being part of a murder!

While the party for whom he murders is in pretoria signing a pact of peace!?

When will this madness end. Seen from a world WIDE perspective this is a minor event but trust me evil is doing the rounds in the nation and there shall be retribution.

All the points for the Memomorandum of agreement are a smoke screen. The MDC will realise this when it’s too late. They must have researched on the ZAPU experience.

This time Mbeki is an extension of zanu in SA.

Anything that legitimises zanu and mugabe should be viewd with the contempt it deserves.

Sounds like Mbeki et al are arm twisting or have arm twisted Tsvangirai. The result will be another shambles of a governmemt. An internationally cosmetic affair which will absolve mugabe and Mbeki of the worst human and political disaster ever seen in Southern Africa.

It will last till they have retired and by then they will will exclaim oops!

And life goes on.

An African problem solved, left for others to correct, while the boil of homophobia, ethnic hate and disorganisation in once prosperous nations simmers to bursting point.

I really think Mbeki is a shrewd contriver. He is capitalising on the cheapest labour from zim, which he can use and discard willy nilly while his bulldog churns them in and out of his country. There must have been an agreement between the two about this otherwise what kind of statesmanship is this.

Of course the farm was not his in the first place. He did not buy it, he stole it. He may employ a thousand workers and one Dutch farm manager, who are just doing their jobs, but the sweet smell of success is based on an ownership fraud, as is the case with many other farms owned by the Zim mafia which is a favoured clique of Zanu-PF. They are the ones who glide over potholes in Mercedes comfort. They are the ones who live in elegant homes tended by armies of servants, and who feed themselves from well-stocked freezers.
