ZANU (PF) political machinery and its erstwhile thuggish leaders really don’t give a hoot what happens to the people, who in trying to exert their democratic rights, are mercilessly persecuted. These guys are going to be answerable for abominations of this nature. This is genocide writ small, and it is about time that all of us do something to alter these disasters, boldly enacted right before the eyes and ears of the world. In the name of our spirits, what gives a bunch of people an entitlement to the country, its people, and its resources? Where, in God’s name do we belong when the current regime recklessly trashes all that is precious? Why deny other people’s humanity simply because they are exercising their constitutional rights? Why have elections in the first place when the outcomes are foreordained? More to the point. what platform is Mugabe running on? What conceivable changes could he generate- after 28 years of stultification and directionlessness= this late hour? Whatever happened to the ’serve the people’ campaign? The country is not for sale; is not ZANU (PF) personal property, let alone Mugabe’s kingdom to do as he wishes with it. Zimbabwe belongs to its people, nothing more, nothing less! Ironically, the SADC dingy boat creaks along offering nothing but caution when boldness is needed.

This so painful. Thabo Mbeki should see these pictures. How can he say there is no crisis in Zimbabwe, this is the normal electoral process? Two weeks after the polls and no presidential results and call that normal! Thabo Mbeki will never do anything to help Zimbabwe either because he dead scared of Mugabe or they are best friends. If Mugabe can tell Bush off in the New York what is Thabo Mbeki to him. The SADC is just a club of executives who are all birds of the same feather and flock together, so they won’t do anything. They won’t betray one of their own.

Mr Mbeki, shame on you. How can you face yourself while you stand there sycophantically denying anything is going on? What are you representing for the future of the African continent?

This is just the tip of the iceberg. Evil is prevailing simply because the good is silent. History shall judge us harshly for our inactivity during these trying times! stand up and be counted!

Zimbabwe: enough is enough…

Sokwanele requests that supporters of human rights and democracy politely contact a number of official e-mail addresses in the Zambian government, the South African government, and the SADC……

When Morgan Tsvangirai goes to Zambia this weekend, let him take a portfolio of such pictures for the delegates to see. They will say all that needs to be said about what’s happening in Zimbabwe.

I don’t know what is wrong with our President but it’s always been an issue that he was an exile during the ’struggle’ years. People who faced the apartheid forces and were beaten or tortured would surely not be able to look on these pictures and turn away.

This is so disgusting. How long will we have to wait for the election results to be announced? As long as Mugabe is in power the attrocities will continue. Hope that one day Mugabe will be beaten, stabbed, burnt and tortured like these poor innocent people.

Sorry to do this, but does anyone recall Wrex Tarr’s famous “The News”?

“Tommorrow is voting day for the President! There will be two black boxes. If you vote for the President you will put your vote in the one black box. If you do NOT vote for the President you WILL BE PUT in the other black box!”

Bit of accurate forcasting there, considering the jest was made well over 30 years ago….
