		<description>Hope, it is good to see that your piece above is also on the &#039;The Zimbabwe Situation&#039; website. It was a most moving story.

Also from the website, this little snippet:

&quot;Mr President please do not continue to fart in public as that scares away would-be helpers.
Your flatulence problem is not terminal. eating less of that meal of pork and beans can solve it. In 2009, please spare us that perennial vitriol. Zimbabwe&#039;s problems will never be solved by you and your Zanu(PF). Your diatribes serve Zimbabwe no good, but only aggravate the situation...&quot;&lt;div class=&quot;comment-remix-meta&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;#&quot; class=&quot;replyto&quot; onclick=&quot;replyto(&#039;272775&#039;,&#039;True Grit&#039;); return false;&quot;&gt;Reply to this comment&lt;/a&gt; --- &lt;a href=&quot;#&quot; class=&quot;quote&quot; onclick=&quot;quote(&#039;272775&#039;,&#039;True Grit&#039;,&#039;Hope, it is good to see that your piece above is also on the \&#039;The Zimbabwe Situation\&#039; website.

		<description>It all started in the 80s with songs. Songs of praise for this dictator. Songs of praise about the blood thirsty exploits of this dictator&#039;s party.

Thomas Mapfumo, the RUNN family and others, sang the praises, to the point of declaring that the lord should bless him until this WORM would rule &#039;Africa yose&#039; 

Comrade chinks led the zanu choir whose songs were flighted on radio ad nauseaum, while the west was faning mugabe with flattery. 

The monster grew, along with his unachieved five year plans, typical of his socialist hang over, to which he was never committed. 

Like MAGGOTS, people in zanu have eaten through the very fabric of the nation. They will die and dry with the carcas.

I am deeply moved by the above article and have also lost relatives who have passed under these helpless conditions. 

If Africa never learns nor acts on this type of greed then we must ALL be cursed. 

Examples of thabo&#039;s appeasement-style attempts should be typical examples of the wrong African approach.&lt;div class=&quot;comment-remix-meta&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;#&quot; class=&quot;replyto&quot; onclick=&quot;replyto(&#039;272772&#039;,&#039;Matibili.&#039;); return false;&quot;&gt;Reply to this comment&lt;/a&gt; --- &lt;a href=&quot;#&quot; class=&quot;quote&quot; onclick=&quot;quote(&#039;272772&#039;,&#039;Matibili.&#039;,&#039;It all started in the 80s with songs.
