Harare — VICE PRESIDENT Cde Joseph Msika is Acting President for the duration of President Mugabe's traditional annual month-long leave, part of which will be spent outside Zimbabwe.
Presidential spokesman and Secretary for Information and Publicity Cde George Charamba announced that Cde Msika would be Acting President during President Mugabe's absence.
Cde Charamba told our sister paper, The Sunday Mail: "This is more of a retreat than an actual leave."
"The President is very busy reflecting on new structures that are needed to deal with the economic sanctions against Zimbabwe as well as working on structures of an inclusive Government which must come too soon."

Let me get this straight. Zim is in the worst state it has ever been in, in its history and mugabe goes on holidays! What an absolute disgrace. mugabe and regime do not care at all for the people of Zim, they care only for themselves. mugabe and regime are suppose to be the servants of there people like any elected person is the world over.
Wonder if mugabe has run away for good as he knows what is coming. As no leader would ever begin to think about leaving for a months holiday during a cholera epidemic and with the financial situation the way it is.
Does everyone else see the funny side to mugabe, regime and there follows telling the US to leave it alone and then go and use the US dollar as Zim's main currency.
Mugabe has run away from Zim, let the takeover of Zim by the good people of Zim, start today.
where is he- W ITH THE WIFE THAT SHOPS AND DROPS WHILE THE NATION STARVES!!!
Cde Charamba told our sister paper, The Sunday Mail: "This is more of a retreat than an actual leave." Funny indeed retreating from what? What has he been doing framing members of the opposition? Anyway is going to use Zillions or AMERICAN DOLLARS?
It may be touch and go if he comes back, I mean I'm sure he has a retirement plan cooked up with Kim Jong-il, and lets face it he cant get that monstrous cancerous prostate treated anywhere else now can he?
With a limp old goat with a monstrous prostate, it is certainly just 'touch and go" with the wife.
To Vice President Cde Joseph Mskika, Acting President of Zimbabwe
Dear Sir: I beg you to look into the incarceration of Janista Mukoko and the others who were taken with her. I am willing to take her place! Incarcerate me instead and let her get some medical attention. Please!
I have been following events in Zimbabwe from all the way over here, on the other side of the globe, in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA. Now, we have a new president who has an African father. Now is the time for you to ask with wisdom and mercy.
Again, I offer myself in Janista Mukoko's place. I will even raise the funds for my own transportation there. With all my heart, I implore you to hear my request and humbly beg for your mercy while you are in a position to act!
Sincerely, Melissa Sue Zeck Minneapolis, MN melissazeck@yahoo.com
