Who wrote this article?- they should be fired!For hundredth billionth time: Western sanctions have been aimed at Mugabe and his cronies not at the country of Zimbabwe. The opposition has been adamant that sanctions should not be economic but only targeted at the dictator and his gang of thugs! China is a corrupt nation who is raping Zimbabwe's resources, exploiting our labour and you article says they are helping? Are you mad? Zimbabwe used to produce all its own food and most of its agricultural inputs. We don't need China, we don't want China. China needs to go back to where it came from and leave us alone. They support a dictatorship and therefore have the blood of Zimbabweans on their hands. God have mercy on the souls of the Chinese and South African leaderships when they stand before him on judgement day for the crimes they have committed against us Zimbabweans. Change is nigh

You are the crazy one.You are infact still being brain washed by arrogant,racist western policy. Mugabe is right! It's as simple as that you loser.

Willzmail, it is time to get real and admit facts about China. China has now surpased the UK in trade with Africa. People in Africa now look to China, not the UK for technical aid and on building power plants. Trade with the two continents is now almost equivalent to that with EU, USA or India. Clearly Africa/Zimbabwe are moving away from the UK. This Island nation of UK has become a controversial country and UK biggest export is now their big mouths! UK is now all talk and nothing helpful to Zimbabwe or other African contries. As for sanctions on Zimbabwe - Keep lying to yourself that they are no sanctions on Zimbabwe, except the leaders. You just do not want to admit that sanctions are real and are affecting ordinary Zimbabweans, because I believe that you fear Zimbabweans may hate you. Zimbabweans know the truth, despite your denials!

It is very surprising the way how some us Zimbabweans choose ignorantly to run away from facts.China may be moving to Africa, or Zimbabwe in particular, but there is nothing good that will come out from China in the long run.This World is becoming a Global village and the countries that are in the forefront of that Development are in Europe and the US. You can sing as many protestant choruses as you can but that is a fact.If the Zimbabweans want to take an anti-Western agenda up to the point of beginning friendships with dictatorship regimes,then you are doing that to own peril.South-Africa and other neighboring can not afford to follow policies that Zimbabwe took.Some of Zimbabweans have a tendency that if some body expresses a different point from their own, they say he is a puppet of white people.These are the people who did not attend schools with debating clubs.They are even parochial and cynic in their thinking.I am a Zimbabwean, but it does not make any sense to me to hear people mourning about Western sanctions.Why and how did these sanctions hurt the Zimbabwean economy so much if Mugabe and his government had an idea of the repercussion of sanctions? I believe that Mugabe maneuvred his way to becoming a Zim President, strategical, because he is a shrewed contriver.A man of Mugabe's stature would have known before hand what his western foes were capable of doing to his Zimbabwe if he ruffled their feathers.It is a fact that the country is in a mess right now.We can try to use more than a thousand theories of attribution, but the bottom line will still remain, Zimbabweans are scattered all over the globe scavenging.Those who are here at home are waiting to fall sick and die.China will not teach Zimbabweans Chinese so that they become academics in the entire world. Nothing to be proud of, with empty stomachs and garbage all over the streets,groping daily and stumbling in the darkness, this the really life of a free Zimbabwean

Sydney,Sydney,Sydney, I feel very sorry for you. It's the same old crap from your kind again. Zimbabwe will NEVER DIE (rhodesia is dead) and there is nothing wrong with doing business with China. The white man stole all his inventions anyway! Zimbabwe and the whole third world have been ripped off by the west for hundreds of years so why should we deal with them now? The Anglo Saxon era is OVER so get over it!

Phiri, You are right,these fools don't want to see how the sancions are affecting ordinary Zimbabweans. I live in New Zealand and the travel agent hid the fact that Air Zim flies via Singapore. They also tell tourist that Zimbabwe is a dangerous place so dont go there. We all know that Zim is very safe and South Africa and many west African countries are the violent places. That is how these so called smart sancions are hurting Zimbabwe.

judging by your name you are definitely not a zimbabwean. you're probably a crazy mozambican from some bush university who still thinks through his arse...i wont even bother to comment on the article but will simply insult you and whatever organization you represent. you are a moron!

Pull your head in moyo and get back up your tree!
