The MDC sees some success in its efforts to push a divided ZANU-PF into talks by appealing to regional leaders to pressure President Mugabe.

more speculation than fact in this piece. sure the MDC's 'disengagement' is cause for concern but to suggest mugabe is on the backfoot? this is the kind of reporting we had after the march 2008 elections, counting mugabe out but what happened next was the complete opposite. what western journalists and 'experts' need to know is that Zanu-PF does not really care if this deal crumbles or not, in fact some of them will celebrate its collapse as it has gotten in the way of the easy pickings they had access to during the past few year. sure ordinary zimbabweans will suffer but who cares?
Can't wait to see what happens in December and which ZANU PF faction abandons ship first. If neither faction jumps then flotsam will cover the whole of SADC and soccer 2010. Africa will have to wait another 100 years to host a major sports event again. All for one little old demented mans ego
Angass, that is absolutely foolish on your part. You white anglos are very disappointed that South Africa was given a high evaluation by FIFA. With Zimbabwe or not, The world Cup will still be in South Africa.
This is not about Bennett or land reform in Zimbabwe, it is about South Africa Hosting the world Soccer cup.
Your are such a soar person. Articles on Zimbabwe from London have to be read with a grain of sand. Is the MDC seeing some success!! Time will tell. The MDC has to be seen not as an anglo stoog, but a full pledged "blackblooded" Zimbabwean party. Short of that may render the MDC as a stoog for the western world. Idiots like you do not help the "good" cause of the MDC. As a supporter of the MDC I'm disappointed about your bastard comments.
MDC wants the world cup to succeed in Africa. Even if white anglos were being killed in Zimbabwe!!!!
Yes Phiri what does it matter indeed even " if white Anglos were being killed." Man, you are just something else. So please tell us oh wise stinking racist, which nations in your opinion, should Mr Tsvangirai align himself with, which when in distress, those nations will quickly come to aid the Zimbabwean people? For you to say what you just stated, you MUST have the people that you feel Mr Tsvangirai should only be in contact with. Which?
Kerjs120, the truth of the matter is that at times the MDC-T have been hurt by the support they get from white anglos. Is that racism to state that? It is racism if you forget where Zimbabwe has come from. It is not racism if you accept that Zimbabwe has had a difficult relationship with it's former colonialist, who happen to be anglo white people!
Phiri it's your racist mind that is filled with maggots the reason why you talk such garbage.
We wait in anticipation of monster Mugapes demise. The sooner the better. as for the rest of zanupf it doesnt hold any water. SADC will become known for its failures rather than its successes, just like mugabe failed zimbabweans. what a disgrace he is to the people and his country.
