The Herald (Harare)
14 October 2008
MDC-T leader Mr Morgan Tsvangirai has got a deal as good as - if not better than - his Kenyan confidante Prime Minister Raila Odinga following the gazetting of Cabinet ministry allocations last week, an analysis of the political settlements in the two countries reveals.
[ See Article ]
The author is clearly an idiot. Tsvangarai clearly got more votes from the fearfull people of Zimbabwe than Mugabe, so a true result should leave Tsvangarai in power. Instead the Butcher of Harare sits on his corrupt blood soaked throne.
What a noble lesson to teach our children.
That in life it doesnt matter if you loose, as long as you are big and strong enough to beat people into proclaiming you the winner after the race.
That in life, even if you are the winner as we were in the Liberation War, every time you have the chance occasion to sit at the same table as your former opponent (the Breeteesh),you should still feel threatened and uneasy.
That you can ask a freind to lend you money (like we did the IMF(, and then when he stops lending you money anymore because you have failed to repay, (read:- decreased state revenue cause by disasterous land reform)you cry foul. AKA SANCTIONS.
Why do we keep making fools of ourselves in this part of the world.
I agree that this is a pathetic analysis and the Herald editor should feel ashamed to carry such. Kenya's economic and social situation under Kibaki is nowhere as desperate as Zimbabwe's under Mugabe and therefore what Kibaki kept cannot be compared to what Mugabe should keep. If Mugabe was a statemen who thinks of the next generation he would not be playing games but going for a power sharing formula that resolves the desperate economic situation.
awt longtime my brother from the other mother. It appears you will never accept the tide in Zimbabwe.Mugabe is going nowhere.I am sure you are really disappointed by the developments.Good luck and keep on fighting for your so called democracy in Zimbabwe.Maybe one day your wish will come true.Long live AWT&Co.
Welcome back to you bomber. Been off beating raping and torturing your fello Zimbo's have you? You're right though, who am I to think that Democracy is a good idea. I mean, who really wants to listen to the people of the country. Lets just stick with a corrupt dictatorship shall we. You obviously have been missing the news of late. Mugabe has already given a significant amount of power to the 'puppet' MDC. He's on his way out. Just wait till the next elections, which hopefully will be free and fair. If they are, then Mugabe is gone! Its all happening people!
Ah greenbomb , after I challenge you after you use another nom de plume , you resurface, hahaha how is that paprika crop on the farm you stole ? Hahaha , Mugabe or no mugabe you are being watched very closely ! You and the ZANU PF GANG DON'T BOTHER US , WE ARE WATCHING AND WAITING ! Aluta Continua !
This artcle clearly shows how inept the Zanu PF mouth piece The Herald can be. Its full of nonsense and who ever their analyst is could be conning them.
The Herald is merely a propaganda mouthpiece for the Regime. I doubt any of the staff would know what responsible journalism is all about. I mean yesterday they published a story about the plight of albinos in East Africa. Albinos are being murdered for body parts in Rwanda and Tanzania. Besides the non-chalant manner in which the article was presented, the Herald went on the add that a single albinos body parts can fetch up to US500,000. What sort of responsible journalism is this in a country enravished by poverty. ZW. It is akin to a Midle Eastern newspaper reporting on a suicide bombing and then going on to include in the same article a full instruction for making your own suicide bomb at home. While I agree that the story was worth reporting, I just felt this article was presented in real bad taste.
Please check your facts. Odinga's ODM Won 99 seats while Kibaki's PNU won only 43 seats. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Results_of_Kenyan_parliamentary_election,_2007
Kunguni even your facts are wrong. PNU affiliates were so many that they ended dividing the parliamentary vote therefore adding advantage to ODM. THis was so common in Northeastern Nairobi, coast, western and gusii nyanza. Where as these many parties were able to mobilise more votes for there presidential candidate (kibaki)they ended up dividing votes for mps to their disadvantage. This led to situation where ODM won, but when you added the votes for PNU and its affiliates they were more than ODMs cadindate. Eg Embakasi, kasarani,webuye etc
Yoy're a big fool who doesn't fear God. Please, don't abuse our minds. Your're a poodle for mugabe. A typical stomach journalist who will write anything to please his master. You're a disgrace to Africa, and wonder how you became a journalist. Please, donate your computer to charity to save Africa and Zimbabwe the agony of your shame.
Mugabi, your master, is a spent force. It's a matter of time. You're going down with him with your lies.
POWER TO THE PEOPLE.
If we were to compare the power sharing in Zimbabwe to sharing a gold mine;I'd say Mugabe got the mine and Morgan got the shaft.Stupid analyst, stupid Herald!!!
