SADC countries once again demonstrate that dialog is the way for southern africa democracy. It is not going to the Island nation of UK, that solves the problems. Yes, the sooner Zimbabwe releases all the election results the better. It is also noteworthy that Zambia is demanding the results sooner. It is nice to see SADC leaders disagree with each other, but still come together. Zimbabwe is not in a crisis yet. If you read the usual fools in the UK, you would think the world has turned upside down. The hyperbole from the UK is sickening. This Island nation... [Read Full Text]

Its unfortunate when people like Phiri make statemates like that about our country.Us Zimbabweans clearly feel that we have passed Crisis level and are in hell . When we can't buy bread,sugar or even mealie meal,to me thats hell.When my son goes to school ther are no teachers those that are there are busy selling stuff to augement their pay. I am lucky that i have brother overseas who from time to time sends me money.Its appropriate for SADC to meet on our behalf and yes for us the world has turned upside down,so when the UK speaks... [Read Full Text]

How many people should be beaten for speaking up in Harare for you guys to admit theres a problem in Zimbabwe. How high must the inflation rate... [Read Full Text]

Mukanya and Crazy- Zambian

I live in Europe and only read what is happening in Zimbabwe through the new media. I do agree that things are hard in Zimbabwe and I am right to say these have come as a result of Britains crafted sanctions on Zimbabwe because of its nationals whose land was taken from them. Those farmers had their revenues sent to britain at the expense of developing Zimbabwe so that Britain would defend them should a criss arise over land, this they expected over time lapse. So now Morgan is their man to use at this time... [Read Full Text]

welcome to really world Mr Phiri, i find your comment about the west a bit disturbing it seems you have been brain washed by Mugabe not to see the human suffering of us Zimbabweans so many families go to bed hungry every day as the earlier people have pointent out before my response to you. As africans let's deal with dictators and get them out of leadership once and for all emetirial whether they can stand againest the west i don't think we went to war of liberations to be poor that 30yrs ago. i feed about six families... [Read Full Text]

I sincerely symphathise we our brothers in Zimbabwe. What i find cowardly is the idea of running away from one silly man called mugabe. The zaireans did it, the tossed mobutu out they did not run away. they confronted the dictator, the malawians did it they did not Run away the removed and the malawians paid a heavy price. The Ugandans removed Amin they did not run away they fought the most cruel dictator out. The south africans did it they were not cowards they sorted out the aparthied rascists. So... [Read Full Text]

Let us be serious guys. Let us face it. Let us not blame outsiders for all of our problems. That is being too african. Can´t we be real and face the results of our choices? Mugabe is a nice guy? Oh ya! Europe the bad guys oh ya!. So why don´t we forget Europe and solve our problems? Cuba was under sactions but did not reach Zimbabwe´s level. Many other countries are going through serious hardship but not as the one I see in Zimbabwe. I am writting from the central city of Beira in Mozambique and sometime I wonder... [Read Full Text]

The Zimbabwe situation is more complex than any of these summits or blogs tend to suggest. The complexities arise from the foregoing:

1. Mugabe and the ruling party are credited for ending nearly a century of minority white oppressive and exploitive colonial rule. 2. Mugabe and the ruling party "chefs" have over the years since 1980 became too corrupt and very nepotic 3. The MDC has largely been exploting (2)above with dubiuos support from some of the terribly racist ex-rhodesians. 4. The economic troubles in Zimbabwe are combination of a deliberate effort by the MDC to create a desperate economic... [Read Full Text]

Am surprised that people do not see that Zimbabwe is in a crisis. I am not a Zimbabwean but am concerned about the rule of democracy.How can the Electrol commission fail to release election results? Who are they afraid of? I have seen the human suffering that our brothers are in Zimbabwe are going through. I have gone through Zimbabwe several times and I know that Zimbabwe need a change.

Please if it means goimg to the barrot box again , do so. But not holding the election results.

Phiri !

Do you realise that your comments are in direct contradiction with every single Zimbabwean that has crossed the borders into our country?

You say the western media is lying to everyone....but all the Zimbabweans fleeing their country have exactly the same opinions as the western media.

A lady I work with has family in Zim. She says her younger brother is as thin as a rake. She says they only eat every two or three days. Is she deceiving me ? Is she brainwashed ? Does she have a colonialist agenda ?
