The 'feather your nest' philosophy has been establishing itself from cars to constitutions, and certainly explains why much marking-of-time is taking place to the frustration of Zimbabweans looking for progress.

The ‘feather your nest’ philosophy has been establishing itself from cars to constitutions, and certainly explains why much marking-of-time is taking place to the frustration of Zimbabweans looking for progress.

I wonder what the 1 year celebrations of the GPA will ‘look like’ next month?

Here we have a road map to a new constitution as laid down in detail in the Global Political Agreement for all the world to see and follow. There are deadlines. There is public opinion to be taken into account in a referendum where perpetuating a one-party rule by Zanu-PF will not be accepted. Power may be 'sweet', but absolute power corrupts absolutely, as Mugabe et al have shown.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('274306','True Grit'); return false;">Reply to this comment</a> --- <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('274306','True Grit','No, not really like marriage and divorce at all, that is a private matter.
