UN Integrated Regional Information Networks
2 September 2008
Strict operating procedures for non-governmental organisations (NGOs) working in Zimbabwe have been introduced since a ban on their operations was lifted, but pro-democracy organisations - perceived by President Robert Mugabe's government as fronts for the opposition Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) - remain banned.

AS has been mentioned before, there will soon be two kinds of people in Zimbabwe. The beggar and the man who gives him the begging bowl and yet the one who wants to protect your human rights is demonised.Zimbabwe needs the world and the world needs Zimbabwe,nothing of any value can grow in isolation.
Perfect example of a sick regime clinging with all it's might, to the last gasp!
What else could you expect from Mugabe ? He is no hero and never was. I was once fooled into thinking I was wrong about him , what a fool I was ! Before AK 47 , onefoolzim , phiri and a few of their shamwaris call me "mzungu" , I say to you "Fangula " ! Coombuwioko, matanyures , how can you side with Satan ? See you in hell, pamberi, makasa.
Stop worshiping the devil yourself. You know nothing about satan. Your jesus, the white devil that you follow is actually the enemy of the earth. And as long as satan can find afrikans like you to do their evil deeds, such as promoting his lies and deceptions African people will have very little peace. The next thing is you will instigate murder. You should read John verse 44 it will describe the the ones you follow.
Again ignorance strikes, if you think doing murderous things like Bobo and the boys is Godly then you are penga. So sad that you would actually agree with demonistic evil practises and then preach to me about Satan. Wait until the Chinese build you a new stadium and herd you in like cattle , pretending to be your shamwari and not long after you'll be calling them "BWANA" for a whole lot less. I have never instigated murder , maybe you are referring to Bobo and the boys from Joke JOC. I actually think it is you loser writing this rubbish under a different name. If you hate the whites so badly, why do you use their technology to expound your nonsense ? I bet you wear their clothes , use electricity (if you can get it in Zimbabwe any more) they invented it. Stop being a racist and being stupid , open your eyes to the evil Mugabe .
Makasa,
I can understand your frustration but realise that is something you have to learn to deal with in order for you to reach the maturity of a man. Now before you get hung up on me insulting you first...ignorace means to ignore, which is what you seem to be doing. a racist is defined as someone who uses power and control to deny a person life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness based on one's race or color. Your white gods is the only racist devils on earth. As for the chinese they have not come into africa kicking down doors, and burning african homes and raping africa women like your white Masters so being that you are able to ignore this fact, keep your abused child opinions to yourself. You only worry about the chinese and hatred for Mr. Mugabe is derived from your fears and cowardice. Return to the Creator of your ancestors and asks them to remove the cowardice from your heart. That is your only hope for internal peace. Save yourself!! can't you see the whites are turning you into a female?
"Makasa, I can understand your frustration but realise that is something you have to learn to deal with in order for you to reach the maturity of a man"
Don't be taken in by Makassa's fake African name. He's most likely just another fraud on this board trying to cover his racist tracks. He obviously has lived long enough in Zimbabwe to learn a few indigenous words but to be sure he's not an African.
Loser , your name says it all, it useless trying to talk to a LOSER ! Only a LOSER would not know a true Afrikan. Thank God the world is not full of idiots like you !
Yeah, right! And I suppose we should be grateful that the world is full of idiots like you , huh Makass? BTW, likewise, your name says it all. You seem to have left out some letters in your Africanese claim, however. In your case it probably should be Afrikkkan. You are either a mzungo or worse yet, a mzungo writes your posts.
Can't you see that Mugabe is turning you into a blind ignoramous ? How can you not see his bad ways ? He is a stain on Afrika. This is not a black/ white issue. It is an Afrikan issue. Mugabe is hurting our own brothers not helping. I know there some bad things with the whites I saw them , but also attrocities carried out on tribesmen who didn't care anything for politics by Mugabe and his bunch. No body wants Zimbabwe in more , the Chinese are to clever to kick down a door, it is easier to hand out honey to a bear then once he is eating , poison him. One day you will see I am truthful. No white man tries to coerce me, I am free to believe what I want, but when we see the wicked things that a man does to his own people, who can ignore it. As for loser , he is just that !
Makasa, Let's just say that I do accept that technically you are an African instead of a mzungu, it doesn't really matter since you seem to be so accepting of the white worldview. Savimbi was an African also but spent years undermining the interests of the African people of Angola. Please tell me just what are Mugabe's "bad ways"? Is it because he returned some of the land taken from the indigenous people of Zimbabwe to them (300,000+)? Is it because he's trying to put the country's natural resources under the majority control of the African majority in Zimbabwe? Does it bother you that whites may not be in control of things if Mr. Mugabe prevails? Just how can Africans being able to own and control their own resources such a bad thing in the eyes of an African? If you are afraid to cut the umbilical cord from "Mother England", don't think that everyone else should buy into this? Some black people believe that they are just as capable as whites and believe that they have just as much right to control their own country as whites do in theirs. Are you one of those Africans who think that Zimbabwe was better off under Ian Smith? Do you have any understanding at all of the sacrifices that Mr. Mugabe and others made for years regaining Zimbabwe land from foreign settlers? Just what atrocities are you alluding to that Mugabe is supposed to have committed? Please don't repeat the same old hysterical lies and distortions that others repeat ad nauseam on these boards. As for me and others using "their" technology, it might surprise you but technology is not white. Technology is a product of all races over time. The ancient Black Africans of Egypt in 2000 B.C. were aware of the electricity effects almost 4000 years before Ben Franklin's kite experiments. BTW, did you know that Louis Latimer, a black man, was co-inventor of the light bulb with Franklin? Probably not. In any case, we all live with the technology that is available at the given point in time therefore your question as to why we (Africans) use what is available is nonsense. We use it because it's there and provides us with the best means of operating. And I don't wear my Western costume all the time. Sometimes I go African. As for me hating white people, that is far from the truth because I've spent too many years dealing with them on all kinds of levels for that to be. However, I do admit that there are a lot of issues that I have with many of them regarding their conduct over the years (and not just historical). For example, I find that their total disregard for the rights of African people to control their own affairs abhorrent. They seem to think that their temporary perch on top of the global economic pyramid gives them the right to dictate to everyone else, especially those who cannot militarily defend themselves. I totally disagree with their long-running attempt to destabilize and punish the people of Zimbabwe just because they are trying to put control of their resources into the hands of the indigenous citizens. But none of this can be translated as to "hating white people", at least not by anyone who has any honesty and common sense. If believing that I'm as capable as whites make me a "loser" then that is a title that I wear proudly. The alternative to that would make me a mzungu wannabe and I find that totally unacceptable.
A United Nations Integrated Regional Information Networks Report? P-L-E-A-S-E! We loudly applaud the Rationale Zimbabwean Authorities. Ban everything that resembles the alien imposed Demon-crazies on Afrakan soil! If Afraka is going to see the dawn of a new day, the remaining Slave States aside Libya should follow suit
P-L-E-A-S-E! We loudly applaud the Rationale Zimbabwean Authorities. We stand behind the Zimbabweean people and say go ahead; ban everything that resembles this alien imposed Demon-crazy on Afrakan soil! If Afraka is going to see the dawn of a new day, all the remaining Slave States aside from Libya should follow suit immediately!
Worse than the insanity of the lunatic! The whole administration must go into civil non-cooperation with the insanity being put up by the illegitimate regime! There is no appropriate word to describe the level of madness to which Mugabe has plunged the country into!
Imposing budgets and workplans to the NGOs, which will be used to monitor and evaluate their operations? Mugabe ought to have imposed that to his privileged cronies instead of just discovering the extent to which they all pushed the country towards bankruptcy. Mugabe is the main culprit and he will have to be made answerable for this high treason!
AS for those who are lauding the nonsense of the illegitimate government, they are just a few lunatics under the illusion of a monster!
Mugabe's days are counted. These acts are the last drop of water to cause untold upheaval that will drown him and his cronies along.
These western sponsored NGOs which were operating as MDC agents smuggling themselves into our society,&venturing into opposition activities are the ones which are complaining..If they genuinely want to assist people with food they would have no problem with operating in simple government structures with code of conduct..Agents of the western sponsored MDC are the ones whining about the new code of conduct because they are now under the microscope, otherwise if u're genuine i don't see the problem in revealing details of your charitable activities and how you're conducting them etc..
Amen Amen and Amen for ever. KWACHA! KWAEDZA! MABHUYE iAFRIKA! We are getting there with all the help of re-education campaigns by the likes of Pren, Independ, Makassa wa Matoke...
Re-education for me? Continue joking, my friend!
I supported the struggle to end the minority rule in Zimbabwe. I am pained to see Mugabe robbing us all of the efforts we put in to ensure Zimbabweans live in a decent free country.
I am now embarking upon supporting a second liberation war in Zimbabwe against the hero turned murderer who has robbed Zimbabweans their innocent smile!
If you have no courage to join us in this new fight, then you should know who needs re-education?
The whole of Africa is behind us. We have pen only; let us see whether the power of the bullet will get the upper hand!!
Power back to the citizens!
You are either a dreamer or a liar. Tell me, what do the man in the street gain from the vile words you use. Clearly you are not an African or you wish you were not ... how can you indulge in such frivolities and irrelevancies?
I think to label all NGOs as bad is not fair.NGOs have assisted a lot in fighting HIV, in alleviating poverty & in feeding schemes things wch our gvnt can't do alone. Then there are those with political agendas, these are the ones wch we should be wary of. We should really monitor these NGOs. Truly such bodies can't operate in USA or UK the way they operate in Africa. It's unfair for NGOs to want to change gvnts, our way of life etc.
why form a political NGO instead of a Political party if you are that politically oriented? The foreign NGOs are set up, sponsoered, funded, and run by foreigners. No long term good come out their activities. They patronise and abuse MPs and other authorities eg our DAs in rural areas.
NGOs never operated in white run Southern Africa. In the instance of RSA, the moment sekuru Mandela was out of prison, South Africa was flooded with these tools of oppression and abuse. They eat at your brains and make sure one never develops beyond tadpole stage. And NGOs never train their victims how to fish but only how to form an orderly que to receive READY cooked fish. Clearly they have a HIDDEN agenda. They are racist in content, spirit and letter...thats why you never see Europe's black citizens included in the plan of their business in Africa. Keep them out!!! Pamberi ne ZANU policies on NGOs.
neo-colonialism is alive! How can the whole world be interested in a country as small as Zimbabwe(still my very beloved country & how I miss home)-obviously the world (West) is interested in what is under the soil (our resources) that's why they come in the guise of NGOs. To protect our societeies, our culture we should allow those that deal with societal ills (abuse etc), those that complement gvnt efforts in health to operate. The rest should just be banned altogether, but we must ensure effective constitutions to guard against our own ause by political leaders.
Aka..47 ? The evil historian who wants to rewrite the history of struggle against apartheid in SA!! How silly a teacher are you turning out to be??
Let it be known several NGOs operated in SA during the apartheid era! They were wise to act under covert operations providing relief and moral support to the freedom fighters. yet, there were hundreds more operating from independent Southern African states and they were in direct liaison with other NGOs based in the industrialised countries.
The network was so dense that the apartheid regime was not able to neutralise most of them. They were all fighting for a just cause just. Bleeding Zimbabweans are also fighting against a black regime practising apartheid-like policies at the intellectual level!! Yes,indeed.
While whites were discriminating against blacks and coloureds in SA, psychpath Mugabe is discriminating against fighters who aim to lead people out of the state-terror in Zimbabwe to complete freedom and democracy!
In this era of tremendous progress in information technology, Mugabe must be a complete lunatic to try to wrest control of the flow of information, relief assistance, solidarity and such like actions that have always been the root of civil society's successful campaigns to dislodge bloody dictators and their cronies!! Hahaha!!
Try to control the powerful wind of a second liberation that is sweeping across Zimbabwe!! Ultimately, the pen will be mightier than the bullet, but it will leave behind a decapitated corrupt leadership!! Mobutu?? Does it remind you of anything, Aka..47??
It need to be understood that NGOs are only a small part of a broader part called civil society. Whether it is local or global is debatable. Inherent to Civil society are to important parts. Delivering Services to beneficiaries and challenging legislation, governement policies and practicies. The latter as part of its aim to deliver to society. To reduce Civil Society and therefore NGOs purely to delivering services aligned with governement agendas, is to reduce NGOs to agents of government. This constitute an unhealthy society. NGO programs would accordingly be inseperable from the politics, whereas it should be beyond politics.
The same arguments used that some NGOs serves the MDC agenda can also be used to say that if NGOs serve governement agenda it serves the ruling political parties agenda.This is magnified even more given the above understanding of the role of NGOs.
NGOs should pursue democracy and justice.
Ngwena you are so brilliant that mugabe pales in comparison.How about a position as the head of JOC?Your intelligence strikes me.As a matter of fact,i think you should be made vice president.In your dreams you delusional prick.Let food be given to the needy and then after that you and your followers can return to your twisted sick world.
That mugabe zanu decides to cheat the true citizens of Zimbabwe out of their sustenance (yet again) is not overly surprising…he / they have been killing them, without remorse or fear of reprisals, for many years. When I read comments like those of Ngwena, I wonder how a mind could be so warped & unknowing of truth. What could drive such fiends?
Loyalty to ‘what’ could make another speak in favor of such atrocities and nonsense? Is it truly ignorance, or a misbegotten loyalty to gods that do not exist, except for those who have been fooled in to following?
Mayhap someday we will know. Myself, Heavy Weather approaches, and it is time to camp elsewhere. Be Blessed.
That happened and passed a long time ago. RMG has power and has the tools of State at his disposal. For you th thing that the His Excellence, the President RMG does not exist keeps you in make-believe world. Lets talk about the way forward for the country, Varume vanhu vari kutambura ne nhamo mu Zimbabwe. In the meantime the MDCis jostling for power because for them the more Zimbabweans suffer they reckon, the better for them, ...thats the MDC sponsored sanctions to destroy the national economy, leading to starving by the masses. Their friends in the USA and Uk have pledged millions of dollars for their Administration BUT its Only a pledge no more , like ZIMCORD of yesteryear.
AK 47 ask Mugabe where all the money went , not the western governments. To bad you can't see his Swiss bank accounts. Good luck with the Chinese ! Aluuta Continua !
Please use your wide knowledge of the western banking system and the self-sustaining Capital processes which operates in the Anglosworldwide.com world. Even the Chinese have succumbed to the influence and machinations of the multi-headed snake. l am not complaining. l am merely drawing your attention to the power exercised by those who serve as BANKERS for the rich of Africa eg from the oil rich countries like Gabon, Angola, NIGERIA etc etc. How can the likes of our President, RGMugabe, be able to keep his money in an English controlled off-shore bank and the so called selective sanctions be not be able to get at it???? WHO is making dosh from such activities except the bankers?? There are Trillions USA dollars stashed awy into these accounts. And because of the tendency to be secretive by the Mobutus etc, when they die, no one is able to lay claim to the millions!!! Who gains??? Those responsible for the storage of stolen money/property. Afrika wants access to the monies. Quite recently, directors of the failed Northern Rock bank in England sent a delegation to Zimbabwe to get ZANU to put money into its account (source...Conservative Party). Are you still with me.....Anglosworldwide.com is in charge of world capital. I anot complaining...its just a fact
akapfunde, and when Mugabe dies even Zimbabwe will not know where all his stashes of stolen money which belongs to the country of Zimbabwe are. His wife and kids will enjoy some of it, and lick his boots all you may , you will get NOTHING.
zanupf is attempting to silence all organisations they saw as
