The only solution to a new start in Zimbabwe is to get rid of the lunatic. MDC should rather work out a way to dislodge the illzgitimate dictator. Tsvangirai should not repeat his earlier mistake calling the mass to tackle the murderer without prior preparations, not only in Zimbabwe but also in the SADC region.

Mugabe and cronies must be choked off. Support must be canvassed in mainly SA for trade unions and civil society groups to paralyse all vital links that keep Mugabe regime breathing. Mandela, Tutu and the ANC must be canvassed to lend their voice.

The priority is to halt the people's sufferings and create conditions for a new economic take off.

People in Zimbabwe who are hesitant to throw their weight behind a mass movement for drastic change need to feel that people in SADC are actively behind such a move.

It appears that the MDC has a momentous task of picking up the threads of destruction to Zimbabwe that Mugabe and Zanu-pf have caused. Up to now, the SADC have been very surprising to me as to how they can sit back and allow Mugabe to crap all over the people. Could it be perhaps these African leaders are glad to see Zimbabwe hit the dust? Jealousy perhaps? Or are they being indifferent because they too have skeletons in their closets. How many times do they expect Mr Tsvangirai to keep going to them for their help to straighten out the situation with Mugabe. So far SADC have been very disappointing - just a body of men,(not fit to be called leaders)each comfortable in his chair and doing nothing. As the cry is for the West to stay out and that African problems must only be solved by Africans, how is Africa ever going to advance when each African leader is looking out just for numero uno? I sincerely hope the new South African government has balls and will not take any bullshit from Mugabe.
