We stand around at Braai’s on the weekends and bemoan the injustices happening across our border in Zimbabwe and spew invective at that “dictator” Mugabe and his Zanu PF thugs and feel helpless to make a difference. You, yes You, can make a difference. Every signature does count… make a stand, let your voice be heard. Don’t let injustice prevail…”evil prevails when good men and woman stand around and do nothing”. My commitment is that I will personally deliver this petition to the office of the president after every 500 signatures. Roy is my friend and an honest and more decent human being you will not find anywhere. Be part of making a difference today. Take 3 minutes and make your mark. Tell everyone you know… make a stand today.

Click the link below and make a difference.

Or does Morgan know something that we don’t?

It has been said that the worst thing Zanu pf could have ever done was to arrest and beat up Morgan Tsvangarai. By doing this they (Zanu pf) created a martyr out of the man and the result was they lost the general election and presidential election to him. I do believe that the short sightedness and impulsive, irrational behaviour of the JOC in this matter will ultimately hurt them more in the long run. As the adage goes: "The wise learn from the mistakes of others while fools repeat them. Idiots, on the other hand, repeat their own stupid mistakes." Furthermore if any harm is to come of Roy then a few bashed up shops in Mutare will be the least of the security chiefs worries.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('273080','Paradigm shift'); return false;">Reply to this comment</a> --- <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('273080','Paradigm shift','The illegal arrest and detention of Roy Bennett has only raised his profile and made him even more electable in the future.

Can a stand-in be OK (the Monthahle way) for Bennet to take over after his release? I find this Bennet thing absolutely childish.
