		<description>It seems the letter is also signed on bahalf of the Minister? How can such a fundamental document that deprives the rightful owner of his property be signed on behalf of a Minsiter. How can this so called magistrate sleep at night? What does he teach his kids? That it is OK to use power for personal gain? What about the rule of law that he agreed to uphold? How morally corrupt can a person be to issue a verdit based on a letter he received a few days ago?

Why does he want the farmeers personal belongings that he has not worked for if all he wants is the land? These people are a disgrace to thinking black people who understand that freedom does not mean enslaving other races!&lt;div class=&quot;comment-remix-meta&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;#&quot; class=&quot;replyto&quot; onclick=&quot;replyto(&#039;274794&#039;,&#039;masoka&#039;); return false;&quot;&gt;Reply to this comment&lt;/a&gt; --- &lt;a href=&quot;#&quot; class=&quot;quote&quot; onclick=&quot;quote(&#039;274794&#039;,&#039;masoka&#039;,&#039;It seems the letter is also signed on bahalf of the Minister?

		<description>Magistrate Zuze is typical of the present day government officials who have become nothing more than bullying despots using the protection of their position. As long as there are people like him in Zimbabwe there is no hope for the future. I think he was probably a little wet at school who is now picking on those who are unable to fight back to make up for his childhood. This is the sort of thing that the MDC should be looking at or are they also going the same way of Joshua Nkoma and ZAPU in the early days - appeasment and absorption??&lt;div class=&quot;comment-remix-meta&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;#&quot; class=&quot;replyto&quot; onclick=&quot;replyto(&#039;274789&#039;,&#039;Brian Turner&#039;); return false;&quot;&gt;Reply to this comment&lt;/a&gt; --- &lt;a href=&quot;#&quot; class=&quot;quote&quot; onclick=&quot;quote(&#039;274789&#039;,&#039;Brian Turner&#039;,&#039;Magistrate Zuze is typical of the present day government officials who have become nothing more than bullying despots using the protection of their position.

		<description>OK, the shops are full again, but Zimbabwe is still in economic crisis and civil servants and teachers are still not being paid a decent living wage. Mugabe&#039;s supporters continue their
illegal and oppressive ways, abusing human rights, and generally reneging on their agreements. 2010 must see a political and economic improvement, preparing the way for 2011 and the hoped for democratic change that is now long overdue.

		<description>Don,

Have a look at the &quot;Original&quot; constitution before all the nonsense changes - it also had what you are talking about in terms of checks and balances - it is not that the checks were not in place, it is that people went and changed whatever they didnt like once they had a majority vote. Even if we put in the US/India constitution in its entirety - that will not address the fact that the people on the ground do not have the right mentality to step down when its time and will do anything in their power - legally or otherwise, to hang on.&lt;div class=&quot;comment-remix-meta&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;#&quot; class=&quot;replyto&quot; onclick=&quot;replyto(&#039;274730&#039;,&#039;Sceptical Sue&#039;); return false;&quot;&gt;Reply to this comment&lt;/a&gt; --- &lt;a href=&quot;#&quot; class=&quot;quote&quot; onclick=&quot;quote(&#039;274730&#039;,&#039;Sceptical Sue&#039;,&#039;Don,\r\n\r\nHave a look at the \&quot;Original\&quot; constitution before all the nonsense changes - it also had what you are talking about in terms of checks and balances - it is not that the checks were not in place, it is that people went and changed whatever they didnt like once they had a majority vote.
