… those “damn British” people


To all those “damn British” people out there … I would like to thank you.

Apparently the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Aid (OCHA) has raised US$35.6 million towards fighting cholera in our country and apparently nearly 40% (US$13.8 million) came from donations made by the British.

So… to all you “oppressors/ traitors/ racists/ colonisers”, thank you for letting our lunatic geriatric dictator’s words of hate wash over your heads. More than that, thank you for giving a damn about ordinary struggling Zimbabweans when our grubby vitriol-spewing political elite quite clearly doesn’t give a damn at all.

Actions speak louder than words, a simple fact that the myopic Zanu PF junta has yet to grasp.

    We all make mistakes, some very costly, but let’s face facts, when any crisis hits our own families we should be there for each other to assist where possible, be it physical or mental. Therefore when countries face adversity, it should also apply. Well let us hope that in 2009 all the world countries get their priorities in order and pull the cart together and bring a peaceful happy and prosperous world for all to live in. Dreaming ? no I dont think so, nothing is impossible and no mountain is too high to climb, but by sitting still and waiting for greener pastures won’t help anyone.You have to become pro active for anything to happen.

    What we thought was a revolutionary mind set in this man robert is after all a propensity for grudge keeping.

    A grudge which he kept against those he later killed and tried in vain to demonise.

    Not only are the whites (the British in particular) and the Matebele, the man has murdered his own people in his own party.

    Now he has shown his unforgiving nature to the whole nation. By beating, starving, abducting and murdering them.

    Thank God some people are immune to his resultant tantrums.

    Unfortunately most of Africa is scared of his imagined wrath and are taking no action.

    Something akin to combi passengers scared of rising against abuse by a taut in fear of being beaten for demanding the correct change.

    Hi there

    I live in the UK now, but chatting with most people here they have already realised that the problems in Zimbabwe have nothing to do with race or oppression for the UK or US. Everyone so far knows about the situation in Zimbabwe and wishes more could be done.

    Just a pity South Africa keeps standing in the way. Just can understand why.
