Mugabe and his thugs are trying to subvert the will of the people and if we, SADC included, sit on our laurels he will succeed. This is a desperate situation requiring desperate measures. There are only 2 SADC presidents who can wield a lot of power over Mugabe. These are Armando Guebuza (Mozambique) and Thabo Mbeki. THis may sound wild but why can't these 2 gentlemen gang up and close their borders to all commercial traffic destined for Zimbabwe? Yes, you got me right - Iam advocating for Mozambique and South Africa to close their borders to commercial traffic. Starve us of fuel, grain imports and every other import you can imagine. I am going even further to ask Mozambique to swith off the 100MW power that we get from Cahorra Bassa. Im sure ESKOM has already done this judging by the numerous outages occuraing in South Africa. All Iam saying is plunge this tyrant further down the abyss by making the country ungovernable. A hungry man in an angry man and I can assure you once these measures start taking effect, the anger will grow exponentially and our people will finally say Enough/Zvakwana/Sokwanele with one loud voice without any discord. Remember what I said at the begining, this is a desperate situation requiring desperate measures. It will be painful on the generality of the populace but I can assure you with my eyes closed, isolation is the only sure way to force the tyrant and his train of thugs to give up. This is political surgery and unfortunately, there is no anaesthetic to numb our bodies. We have to go through it painful as it may be.

Here is a copy of the letter I sent to almost all those emails. Thanks again. To our dear leaders, To our dear leaders, To our dear leaders, Men, women, and children of Zimbawe are dying broken, shattered, raped, shot, overworked, because their stay in neighboring countries and overseas is considered unwelcome. Mothers are tired of giving love and care to other people's children and families when theirs' struggle without. Men and women want to go to their families. But if they go how will they feed those families? If they stop fending for remittances how will Zimbabweans back home survive? Yet they know there is hope still. They know like you do that the spirit of Africa, based on human dignity will prevail. As your brother's keeper you can not choose to enslave three million Zimbabweans simply because of a loyalty to a single individual. Honesty has always been the basis of the African pride. Men and women at the chief’s court always found a way of telling the leader the will of the people. So we Zimbabweans in the spirit of unthuism ask you, our SADC leaders, to do the right thing. We ask that you uphold the will of the people of Zimbabwe. Mugabe has to relinquish power so that the people of Zimbabwe can again find peace, prosperity, and hope. Please let Mugabe know that it is in the same spirit of the revolution of 28 years ago that we ask him to pave way to a new democratic Zimbabwe. Cde Mugabe in 1980, at the eve of independence promised us that we would never be enslaved again. A lack of respect for the people's vote is indignation of the ruler over his people, and we say no to that. Cde Mugabe the people of Zimbabwe loved and respected you, but now they are saying no to poverty, to hunger, and to undemocratic control. They are protesting against tyranny. Please let Cde Mugabe understand that we the people of Zimbabwe are intelligent enough to know what is right for us. He has to allow us the dignity of knowing that we have the right and the liberty to choose a new leader. We want to know that we have the liberty that every nation should be assured of. Men and women and children in the diaspora are dying to go home and start building for their futures and for the future of their children, and SADC leaders, you are their hope.

And to Tsvangirai, there are thousands of your supporters here in the diaspora who are ready to help you rebuild Zimbabwe
And to Simba, you know that you were never going to win, however we thank you for taking some of the votes away from this tryrant.
And to George Charamba…..mufana uchaenda kupi? Have you found an ally in Matongo (he looks more of a criminal than you)…. Try Malasyia.
And to the other old men supporting Mugabe, don’t worry Didmus…. we wont toture you… we will just put you in prisons without medications and AIDS will take care of you.
Motokumbira Hunzvi kuti akupeyi mushonga from Hell.

Zimbabwe Elections

This is a simple matter of choosing to do the right thing. It is an opportunity that does not often present itself - when a leader who has run his country into the ground, and the population - yes the population, not some outsider force - speaks loudly and clearly against him through the ballot box, without resorting to vandalism, violence and destruction.

It is the story of a proud, honest and noble people, who need a little international assistance of honest and courageous men to help them shed themselves of the shackles of greed, fear and a power hungry leader.

I suggest that if you do THE RIGHT THING when you have the chance this weekend at SADC, you will be remembered in history for a very long time to come. Similarly I expect, if you do NOT do the right thing, you might also be remembered, but not for as long, and certainly without honour or respect!

The choice is yours, and it will take COURAGE to do the right thing. Do you have courage enough?
