President Robert Mugabe says it will provide regional leaders with footage of proceedings during last week's official opening of parliament where the embattled leader was jeered by legislators, to prove that the opposition is 'childish'.

AK 47 , Why did your tribes steal the bushman's (Sans peoples) land ? You owe them an explanation ?
I do not see how the MDC would be embarrassed by Mugabe. Mugabe would actually embarrass himself by showing legitimate presidents of other African countries that video. It's actually good for the MDC for other presidents to view that video. The video depicts that Mugabe has lost power. Like previous dictators before him, Mugabe was a frightening politician previously and now opponents are losing the fear they had in him. Opponents always lose fear in a dictator who is about to bow out of power. I observed this loss of fear in Kamuzu Banda and Mobutu Sese Seko during their last days in power. With Kamuzu, Chihana had the courage to fly into Malawi to be arrested. With Mobutu, there was this gentleman, Tshisekede who would always humiliate him and Kabila's soldiers marched from Rwanda and Burundi without encountering any resistance from Mobutu's former notorious forces. The humiliation Mugabe is suffering from the MDC is the beginning of his slow and painful ouster from power. Very soon some regiment of soldiers will refuse to salute him and get imprisoned for it. All dictators suffer embarrassment in their last days in power.

Ox , you are so blinded with rubbish, these people are free to write what they want and yet Journalists in Zimbabwe are forced ! It is typical, you are an embarrasment to Afrika even bringing up Mau Mau, murderers are not heros ! So Ox or whatever your name is stop talking rubbish, Afrika is already a laughing stock , much less have more fools like you.
No one can embarrass our glorious leader, Robert Gabriel Mugabe! He embarrasses those who try to embarrass him! Zimbabwe embarrasses all other African countries!
Tsvangirai will be embarrassed by the great Sir Robert's splendid video which will soon be released for all the world to see how glorious and unchildish our great leader is!
Glory to Zimbabwe!
What splendid video?
You havn't seen the one by Modonna praising ?? Mugabe and Hitler getting stupid in her song entitled "Get stupid".
You may not be surprised to learn CIO agents crossing over to Malawi to arrest Madonna during her next planned visit there!! The lunatic can do anything to continue retaining power illegitimately.
The new story running around is that CIO agents might have been behind necklacing and burning to death MDC supporters exiled to Jo'burg!
Glory to those leading a second liberation war in Zimbabwe!
As if MDC-T hasn't already embarrassed itself enough. This is good to hear, BBC and all the other trash media claimed Mugabe was "humiliated" by this parliamentary theatrics, however that doesn't seem to be the case at all.
sadac have its own report about zim elections from their observers which shows how zanuphobia killed hundreds of MDC suppoters , not this footage of MDC celebrating they did not kill.SADAC MUST embarrass mugabe
The brave people of Zimbabwe had already humiliated murderer Mugabe when they voted massively against him last March!
Today the whole of Africa is behind Zimbabwe's brave people to teach lunatic Mugabe the lesson of his life! The people's voice is the voice of God! Going against the voice of God, Mugabe is heading towards complete disaster. Where is dictator Mobutu today? His body does not even lie in rest in his motherland!!
Mugabe made land the cornerstone of his politics the past ten years just to play with the emotions of his people.
He should just stop being childish in trying to cling to illegitimate power! History will anyway judge him very harshly indeed.
Power back to the people, please - personified by yhe MDCs!
What do you mean by white owned farms??? These farmers occupied stolen land. Rhodes had no right to hand out land to his cousins and those missionaries forgot the bible and received thousands of acres from Rhodes...eg Chishawasha and Inyathi. Just remove your MDC sanctions against the country and our farmers would produce enough food ...even for export. The MDC accepted economic sanctions against their own people and country so that when the common man suffers he would blame the ZANU Administration and vote with their stomachs. Its unfair to blame RMG for the sanctions. How selective are these sanctions when then there is no food or mushonga in hospitals, when the factories have all closed down. Ma Zimbabwe ari kutambura because of MDC sponsored sanctions. Politics i TSORO but to make your own people suffer so that you take over the national gvt is immoral.
