Mugabe must be arrested and tried for treason for trying to usurp the will of the people. All the judges and military commanders who kept the criminal murderer in power must also be held accountable. The editors and writers of the propaganda machine the Herald are also pathetic characters who will soon be out of a job. I have news for you at the Herald - better look for another profession because the whole world see you as pathetic non-thinking garbage!
Lunatic Mugabe is already one foot in the grave with the position of Speaker of Parliament going to the MDC.
Police acting on the orders of criminal Mugabe arrested two MDC MPs before the swearing in ceremony. It is to be seen whether his thugs will now terrorise the new Speaker and enflame a whole country to rise up against the devil!
The newly appointed Governors and resident ministers have to be aware devil Mugabe is an illegitimate President. Should they accept the nominations, they will also be placed on the famous list! More than that, they should expect to join Mugabe in the docks of the ICC for crimes against humanity that Mugabe will unleash in revenge.
NGOs will keep watch. Baware!
