Zimbabwe Independent (Harare)
25 June 2009
ZANU PF has dispatched a team led by Defence minister Emmerson Mnangagwa to the East to seek financial and other material resources for the country in a counter-move to Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai's three-week trip to Europe and the United States.

What is criminal Mugabe doing with his illgotten fortune? CIA published materials indicate that bloodstained Mugabe is the continent's richest man!
That's no joke! He has over the 29 years of his lunatic rule amassed vast amounts of money by various crook means. Most of that money is banked in RSA, Libya, Swaziland, Hong Kong, mainland China and North Korea.
Informed observers say that just a third of his wealth will wipe off all government debts!
Unfortunately, Zimbos are too tolerant to force criminal Mugabe to hand over the illgotten wealth!
What a cheek now that he is sending a delegation to the East to beg for aid?
Zimbabwe without criminal Mugabe and his thugs has all the incredients to rise over the challenges of the immediate future.
So let's get rid of the illegitimate president of a rotten banana republic so that the GNU can do what Mugabe was not able to deliver over the past 29 years.
I doubt Mugabe could give the wealth back even if he wanted to. It's been burned long ago on efforts to convert Zimbabwe to a socialist state, on mansions in foreign countries for the Great Leader Mugabe to escape to once the ZANU-PF decide he's more liability than asset, and on all variety of crazy boondoggles, such as the Nigerian lady who conned him out of $25 million to invest in her magical abilities to squeeze gasoline out of ordinary rocks.
It's spent and gone forever, and now it falls to Tsvangirai to gnerate wealth out of nothing but the dirt of Zimbabwe once again. He's actually been doing a pretty good job, but it will all go to waste as soon as Mugabe decides he needs that wealth for himself or to invest in another scam, and then it will all be taken away from the people of Zimbabwe once more.
Prem, do you have evidence to these allegations. Why are you afraid to lay the evidence bare and let Zimbabweans judge their leadership. I also hear that Biti and MT have amassed so much wealth over the last 10yrs and they have acquired mansions in SA and Australia, Anybody with evidence please put it forward so that these politicians who purpot to love the people of Zimbabwe so much are exposed for what they are.
I have no confidence on the judiciary since criminal Mugabe and Gono have bribed most of them with state goodies !
TD. what u have said its true. i have heard from a certain white guy who has business in Astrulia. he confirmed that Tsvangirai is building a 3 story mansion in Sydney. there are a lot of clouds surronding tsvangirai's personal life but its only that he is been protected by his masters. e.g all of his children are studying overseas. all along they have been saying that there are no economic sanctions aganist. now that they are in the gvt there are finding it difficult to get any fincial assistance not because of reforms as claimed but because of sanctions especially under law ZIDERA signed into law in 2001, it is because of this law that zimbabwe is stil denied financial assistance
"i have heard from a certain white guy" well it must be true then.
I heard from a certain black guy that you're an idiot! It must be true!
awt, are you paid by MT to defend him, the way you defend these crooks (politicians)iw worrying. I see you are becoming uncomfortable and calling people names, let people speak freely, whether it is about Bob, Morgan, Bush, Obama whoever. These politicians need to be kept under scrutiny, what you are doing to MT is what people like you used to do to Bob and the country got screwed in the process, if he has a mansion in Australia, let it come out.
TD, just pointing out that "some white guy" as a source is hardly credible... agree?
"This is a party delegation which has gone led by Emmerson Mnangagwa and Muchinguri." ...Why is the a party delegation and not a delegation of the government of Zimbabwe? This GNU is becoming more and more a fiction.
It is now clear that Mugabe puts self interest first than the the majority Zimbabweans. Morgan is working hard for the entire nation while Mugabe and cronies are busy looking for ways to line their pockets. The East will soon discover this because for the past ten years or so they were being conned. In any case the East or West are interdependent. Help is fine as long as it goes to Zimbabweans.
Abstracting from all partisan prejudices, if the reported facts are true, then there is no "Unity Government," only the appearance or, worse, the apparition of the same. I have characterized unity governments as the new idols in African politics elsewhere in this locus.
I now think that, additionally, they are a ruse for the strategic accumulation of resources for bare knukled elections. As applied to Zimbabwe, the contending parties are obvious: the reported facts, if true, make them obvious.
Unity Governments may, additionally, be characterized as a manifestation of bad faith 'detente.'
The immediate and decisive consequence is that they are extremely partisan, hypocrital, and unpatriotic: the electorate is fooled into complacency with the mantra of "national unity" during the day while, at night, the daggers are sharpened for the inevitable show down, which bourgeois theorists call "elections," which they theorize can be "free and fair," although no element of concreteness is ever given for this dogma. Were the Presidential elections in the USA in 2004 "free and fair"?
One further consequence: these unity governments may be the most dangerous element in African politics, next perhaps to the "one party state" and coup d'etat. Another consequence: "democracy" is a social ordering prejudice that does not even fit the concrete conditions of most African countries, where most of the electorate is illiterate, which makes it extremely unlikely that it would even begin to approximate the ideal of a well-informed electorate under the theory of democratic voting, a theory which, furthermore, is as obscure, if not more, than the "deconstructions" of a well known Parisian philosopher.
French such philosophy sucks. Therefore...
Beggarson88!
Go beg criminal Mugabe why he so much wanted the GNU?
Without the GNU, bloodstained Mugabe would have already been dragged before the ICC by now. His illegitimate tenure of office as president of a rotten banana republic would have made him the subject of hot pursuit as an internationally wanted criminal.
Tsvangirai is indeed a shrewed strategist. He is using the GNU to consolidate MDC's presence across those regions where Mugabe's CIO had barred him from operating.
Tyrant Mugabe's days are really numbered. Like it or not, bootlicker Beggarson88.
But for your uncouth, unZimbabwean habitus of name calling, and confirming your partisan prejudice, from which my post deliberately abstracted, your post is a substantial corroboration of my theory.
And, personally, I'd advise to you go easy on the invectives. (For example, I could have called you "premature", as I had before, but now I won't, since I am now convinced that allafrica.com really deploys its delete button to favor INVADER VIEWS).
Significantly, I really don't care if you support Morgan or Mugage. None of these politicos make any difference to me: my theories on African cultural worlds transcend all personalities, an obvious implication since I theorize them.
What matters is Zimbabwe which, according to the dumbest rhodist on this site, is "a pathetic piece of crap."
Glory then to Zimbabwe!
The braying jackass strikes again, Hee haw hee haw. Richerson has to be Jacob's brother eesaw Eesaw. Ha ha ha ha ha. Maybe swings and roundabout's see saw see saw.
chachaha, I agree with you I agree with any help that goes to the Zimbabwean people but we all know whatever money Mugabe gets will go into his pockets because he could care less about anyone else. If he cared then he would be helping...
Mugabe can go to the few communist countries he can travel too and get whatever crumbs they will give him or arms.....
I do not care about parties or who is in charge here but whoever it is they need to take care of the people of Zimbabwe and stop worrying about themselves. All I know Mugabe and the Zanu-Pf Has had 30 years and has not did did anything since liberating the country other than abusing power and position for their own benefit.
According to Karl Marx, the angry and invective gushing author of DAS KAPITAL, and the alleged founder of the modern communist movement, a society is a communist society IF AND ONLY IF the state disappears AND all classes hogtied or attached to the "means of production," which is embedded in "a mode of production," have disappeared.
Hence, it is obvious that there are no communist states (a contradiction in terms under the antecedent paragraph) in the world.
A consequence is that the word "communist" is a rhetorical trope, devoid of any and all objective referential content.
Riccerson88, what planet are you living on? Certainly not planet earth.
Desist from passing on phenomena you don't understand.
You pine to poke your nose (description unprintable) into every thematic, even if you know nada about it, even if a zillion hours of instruction were expended on your education.
Your writings are unthematic, obscurantist, and plainly nonsensical, full, as they are, of personal attacks, which this pro-INVADER site systematically and hypocritically invite.
Advertizing dollars run the site, I suppose. When the advertizers are sick of a site full of vulgarity, then they know what to do: put their money somewhere else. It is the rule of capitalism.
Glory then to your uncouth, barbaric lexicon: mugga this, mugga that, and you don't even recognize that your two cents are worth nothing, to echoe the wisdom of one awt-dependent, who had the gumption to aver that "Zimbabwe is a piece of pathetic crap."
So, here is a rule of thumb, a rule of rhetorical prudence: when you can't say anything theoretically significant---and, you evidently can't---about a thematic, hold your breath, would you?
Richerson88, it is SO refreshing that finally you recognize your ability " to echo the wisdom of one Awt_ Independent" who also has "the gumption" to voice his opinions. About Zimbabwe being "a piece of pathetic crap," sounds to me like something that YOU would want to tell Mugabe but have no courage to do so because even though you recognize all the crap Mugabe has done to Zimbabwe, you are hoping for some scraps form his table. I bet you did not even get a crumb from that birthday cake or even a morsel from the childrens' food given to them in aid that he stole. For that theft alone, Mugabe is total trash that even the dumpster would reject.
Kjrs, Richterdaughter lives on pluto , bit of a mickey mouse planet in a mini way and he sure looks goofy.Ha ha ha ha ha ha .
"Africa is nothing without the white man."
Thus speaks the fake 'Zulu."
African hater!
You suck dude!
africa 35, you admit ZPF liberated the country, my foot, i never thorught i would read such a statement from you. All politicians should be kept under scrutiny, people used to hero worship Bob like you do MT, and the country got screwed in the process, so we have learnt and we get worried when people like you heroworship MT. He was very luck he did not get shoes thrown at him in London, just to show him that not everybody is his wife.
It really is quite simple. If a leader looks after his/her people then the people are happy and will look after their leader willingly. Steal from the people then you get decent.
Dispatched a team to spend what little money Tsvangirai managed to raise on weapons with which to suppress the people of Zimbabwe, you mean. Oh well, you know what they say about fools and their money.
