A female voice answered the phone, and when I asked to speak to the senior officer, she fetched a colleague who would not give his name. I gave my name and told him that I was an Australian citizen, who, like many others around the world, was extremely concerned about reports that Jestina Mukoko and other political detainees were being mistreated at Chikurubi. I urged that they all be treated properly and fairly. I requested that he pass on my message (which he laboriously wrote down) to other officers at Chikurubi, and to let them know that people around the world are watching events at Chikurubi prison very closely. I then thanked him for his time. It's impossible to know if this will make the slightest difference - I trust and hope that it at least puts one member of the Chikurubi staff on notice that what happens there is under close scrutiny.

Thomas Mapfumo, the RUNN family and others, sang the praises, to the point of declaring that the lord should bless him until this WORM would rule ‘Africa yose’

Comrade chinks led the zanu choir whose songs were flighted on radio ad nauseaum, while the west was faning mugabe with flattery.

The monster grew, along with his unachieved five year plans, typical of his socialist hang over, to which he was never committed.

Like MAGGOTS, people in zanu have eaten through the very fabric of the nation. They will die and dry with the carcas.

I am deeply moved by the above article and have also lost relatives who have passed under these helpless conditions.

If Africa never learns nor acts on this type of greed then we must ALL be cursed.

Examples of thabo’s appeasement-style attempts should be typical examples of the wrong African approach.
