Zimbabwe: Leaders prepare for regional summit

Then you are giving a message to Kabila to give Tsvangirayi yet that should be the same with you. He says MDC wants "us to voluntarily give up our executive power", I wonder which executive power he talks about and were he derives that power from outside the GPA. I hope SADC is now smelling the pudding, this is now a world of technological advancement in everything so Herald propaganda shall not help. Ilizwe leli ngelethu sonke. Unkulunkul ulale umuntu wonke pansi lapha.

By indicating the possibility of a determination by a full 15 member SADC Tsvangirai is already pre-empting the fruitlessness of the Troika. When eventually the full 15 member SADC council make preparations to meet you will hear him pre-empting it in preference of the AU and then all the way to UN Security + NATO + G8 all such international bodies being brought into the fray to help MDC officials into offices of gravy.

Hah-hah! Big joke! An incompetant, toothless lot, all with hidden agendas! How can you take someone like Kabila seriously, when he was "given" the country by his father?

It will be interesting to see what excuse these palookas come up with this time.

Mugabe has done nothing to free up democratic space, the media, depoliticize the police and the AG's office.

MDC have done a great deal to make this hybrid thing work and yet they are thwarted at every turn by these Zanoids who are determined to retain position and power no matter what the damage to the country is.

SADDC will, of course, support Mugabe.

The Zim issue is really making me sick. If it were possible I'd put Robert and Morgan in one room and lash their backsides black and blue. I mean really, people are dying of diseases there are cures for and all they can do is bitch and moan at and about each other like sloshed prostitutes. GROW UP!!!

Is Tsvangirai still sulking??????????

When I read some of the extremely hostile and provocative statements made by both whites and blacks that are clearly designed to sow seeds of discontent and fuel racial hatred, I often wonder whether these same authors, on both sides, aren't sometimes really agents from foreign embassies, who have little or no feeling for the welfare and welbeing of this region and its people and whose sole ambition it is to cause strife and pandemonium to undermine people's confidence in our ability and determination to achieve racial harmony and peaceful co-existence? Will we end up like Somalia or other parts of this continent where areas are controlled by warlords who are funded by outsiders so that they gain access to our lucrative but dwindling resources, at the expense of the population?

Ephraim Molai, what was your first clue?

"Is Tsangirai still sulking". Dude i think you are mistaken. The PM is not sulking,he just can not sniff and wallow in someone else's fart. He has nothing to lose because he has already won the trust of the Zimbabwean electorate which supports him in his decision to disengage.Lets go for an internationally monitored election and you will get my drift. One way or the other,CHANGE IS COMING TO ZIMBABWE.

Someone else's fart - who? the Americans or the Brits??? or white South Africans???

To proudly and those who still believe that the West is out to get us. The west is reeling under the effects of the worst economic crisis since the great depression. Do you honestly think they will waste their tax payers money pursuing this "hidden" agenda you always refer to? the Zimbabwean economy at best and at its height will be worth between US$14-19bn. A great deal of money yes, but to the West that's their local municipality budgets. The MDC is a democratic party with the people and democracy at its core. The West is pro democracy hence their support for African democracy. The west pressures those who leaders who trample on democracy and fights for those who can't. I'm a Black Zimbabwean and the only people with an agenda against Zimbabwe and the Zimbabwean people are ZANU-PF loyalist and those without enough brains to see that the true enemies of Zimbabwe are those who continue to think that Robert Mugabe and his lackeys are right. They lost a free election and refused to step down gracefully. They unleashed terror on people that you my ignorant friends have never ever experienced. You tell me who has evil intent, the ones who are pushing for democracy or the ones who refute it? Enough of this blind support for Mugabe and ZANU-PF. Morgan Tsvangirai is the true leader of the people of Zimbabwe just come to Zimbabwe and ask people in the street who their president is. Proudly you are the racist and you probably hate black foreigners too. Do us all a favour and crawl back to the whole which your mother unearthed you from. I'm tired of you uneducated idiots who just regurgitate the same nonsense that the white man is after the black man. 21st Century, Black President in America, Come on racism is old man!!!

Steven Thomas the west is pro-democracy, are you kidding me? After the farce they have just pulled in Afghanistan you are still trying to convince yourself that the west represents deomcracy? You need your brain examined!

MDC is a democratic party in name only, infact it's not a party it's a movement of loose knit groups with disparate goals. Why did the MDC split in 2005? Why did the MDC ignore it's supporters wishes not to disengage from the GNU? Tsvangirai caused the split of the MDC in 2005 because of his dictatorial tendencies. He just recently slid an amendment into his party's constitution that does away with term limits without going to congress as is required. Tell me about democracy? MDC is like fake snow.

We all know the people's president is HE Karigamombe Robert Gabriel Mugabe despite your wishful thinking. Noone needs to come to Zimbabwe to know who the people's president is. If you went to the USA today you will come across a lot of idiots who say Obama is not their president just like you are trying to say about Mugabe.

kevin sithole you said, "Lets go for an internationally monitored election." You mean like the one they just held in Afghanistan where ballot boxes were stuffed with fraudulant votes under the USA, UN & EU's watch? Give us a break.

You also stretched the truth about the people supporting the MDC's silly disengagement. Their public consultation was resoundingly in favour of MDC staying in the GNU but as has become Tsvangirai's trademark he went against their wishes just like 2005. Tsvangirai is the biggest liability to Zimbabwean politics as he has failed to transfer his ZCTU experience into national leadership. He has allowed himself to be hijacked by Rhodies and their western supporters and totally forgotten about the workers who are supposed to be backbone of the party. ZCTU does not support his disengagement for the record.

lets talk about Zimbabwe not Afghanistan because we were not there when they held elections. We dont have peace because of Zanu PF thugs, houses were burnt down people murdered and forced to vote Mugabe. Bob knows without elections he is not wellcome in the world thats why he terrorise people. This talk of West being racist doesnt bring food in Zimbabwe or Zanu PF thuggery doesnt bring prosperity but is only used to maintain minority rule. I speak of experiences we face in Zimbabwe not USA , West or Afghanistan. Whether MDC is hijacked by Rhodies it is a legal political party in Zimbabwe voted by Zimbabweans. They have refused to be silenced despite beating and torturing of Tsvangirayi, Chamisa and others. Dont talk of other countries but clean your house first. You talk of evils done by West and blessing Zanu PF murders tortures and acts of evil which we see with our own eyes not press reports. A relative we burried murdered by Zanu PF thugs and getting threats during the funeral. It didnt happen in the West. Your evils are best known in Zimbabwe not the West. Stupid hypocrite.

Fungayi: you say that idiots in the USA say Obama is not their president, fair enough but the difference is in Zimbabwe people are too scared to say Mugabe is not their president for fear of being beaten. You must be really sick that the American elected a black man; even if he is mixed race or maybe he's not half African enough for you!!!

Megan as usual you lost the plot. Where do you get the idea that I am really sick that the Americans elected a black man? Is that how you really feel about Obama being elected and you are just trying to pass that as me?

Amos Makoba have you heard your star witness on torcher one Newman Chiadzwa aka Fake Chief Chiadzwa has made an astounding U turn. He has now turned against HRW and other like minded organisations saying they are not interested in the truth when it comes to Zimbabwe. When were Tsvangirai and Chamisa tortured or are you doing a Newman Chiadzwa on this site as well?

Fungayi: No need to make personal insults just when people uncover another hypocracy about you. Your comments are so narrow-minded, you can see through a keyhole with both eyes.
