Does it ever cross his mind that the world is listening and analysing his speeches all the time. How dare he calls the UN racists and colonial when he himself, a black man,rejoices in inciting terror,brutality and murder upon his own people. Does he ever stop to think how precious human life is? The way that he and Mugabe are acting is just as good as selling their own people to slavery by driving them into fereign lands through their evil ways and turning them into slaves while they enjoy the fruits of the foreign currency they send home for them to enjoy making huge profits on the black market.They are slave drivers who enjoy the sweat and blood of their own people while they themselves live in luxury. Who does not want that luxury? To hell with them lot. Right now they are still holding on to our election results, our democratic rights? They are a bunch of fools who do not know that Zimbabwe belongs to God and not them. That God is a God who loves his people and rules over them. That God answers by fire and fire to them all.

On April 23rd he said that Mugabe's clinging to power is "unacceptable", and yesterday (26th) he called for a United Nations mission to investigate the violence and human rights abuses in Zimbabwe.
