"The memorandum had asked whichever judge dealing with Roy Bennett's case to give him bail and use the person of the Prime Minister as a guarantee."

Now, if a UK's prime minister wrote such a memo ..

If a leader in USA wrote such a memo ...

Now, suppose the culprit jumps bail ... Can/Should Tsvangirai use a national office in this manner - put the full prestige of the constitutional office of the Prime Minister (and hence the integrity of the Constitution of Zimbabwe) on the line on behalf of one person of dubious allegiances, who is accused of heinous crimes against the state?

Why can Tsvangirai get away with it in democratic Zimbabwe - and still talk about democracy and the "rule of law"?

Is Tsvangirai above the law - perhaps on account of being a lackey? if so, shouldn't Zimbabwe grant him a one way ticket to the lands of his masters who love him and think so highly of his capabilities? There are many of us who would gladly send him the ticket - immediately.

One vying for a high elective office in USA knows that his /her whole life will be scrutinized - the writings (perhaps dating back to kindergarten days), the meetings, churches and preachers, police records, speeches, contacts and friends, financial and business records, private discussions, phone records and any recorded conversations etc.

Because the decisions of one holding such a high office has an impact on the lives of the citizens - and the future of the nation. It is a unique honor and a select few among the nation's best - in capability, temperament and integrity - should access such power.

We are unwilling to admit that Zimbabwe is a land where a buffoon may reign supreme - by merely committing to promote murderous rhodie imperialism. Was Tsvangirai fully vetted by Zimbabwe's security agencies?

.

What would disqualify one from holding a high office in Zimbabwe?

.

It seems to most of us that Zimbabwe's security forces don't know the full extent of the nature of the ties between Bennett, UK/USA and Tsvangirai. If so, then shouldn't an urgent and present danger to the security of Zimbabwe be recognized and a series of corrective actions taken - immediately?

And if such knowledge is available, why was it not acted upon by those sworn to protect Zimbabwe from all enemies within and without?

Where does this idiot come from? Bennet was not a selous scout - fool. Or even if he was is the zanupf now going to "get" him? Also my ancestors would never confuse the rubbish that goes on in zanupf today with our customary law. Give the ancestors credit. The writer has been brainwashed to the extent his brain is confusing UDI by the Smith regime with MDC declaration to zanupf to put in some good governance and implement the joint agreement. Obviously the Heralds reporter first went to Robber Mugbe first.
