I was listening to the BBC Network this morning when I heard some people have started blaming Morgan for his stubborness to cooperate with Mugabe.I want the people of Zimbabwe to realise that Morgan should not be castigated for being too selfish or oblivious to their sufferings.Mugabe and his cohort should not be trusted.You can see from the simple fact that they altered certain sections of the Agreement is a manifestation that they are only signing because they are pushed.Morgan has seen this and he his taking his time not to get into that trap because if he gets it… [Read Full Text]

Morgan is certainly to blame because people voted for him to change things but he is refusing to do so - he withdrew from the runoff and denied people the chance to vote Mugabe out, claiming he was doing this for the people's welfare. Now he has a chance to work for the people's welfare but then he refuses advice from SADC and the Elders to get on with the job of changing things from inside the government. He now wants a fresh election when there is little chance of that being free and fair. So what exactly does this… [Read Full Text]

If Morgan had run the second election or if he signed the agreement without a balanced sharing of power, the MDC would be history by now. Just as Nkomo and Zapu were, back in the day. This previously successful strategy of Cde Mugabe's is not working this time - due only to the will and backbone of the brave men and women of the MDC, who must not cave into the immense pressures on them by short-sighted SADC members for a 'quick fix', regardless of the horrific woes of our country. The only leverage there is for change lies within… [Read Full Text]

Surely you can not be that stupid. Morgan is trying to do the best he can with the limited resources he has with regard to power in ZIM. If Mugabe and regime stepped aside today and let Morgan and party control, Zim, this time next year would be in much better shape. The world would step in and Zim would move forward and i think you would find very few starving because it will be a totally new outlook for the country!

I am quite sure this time Zanu PF will be serious as current events here in Zimbabwe will not be tenable through arrogance and self serving stunts. I am sure it is the last chance that Mugabe has to ensure a smooth transfer of our liberties to self-determine and rebuild this country. This kind of ill-advised jamboree of blaming everyone who opposes selfish political stunts is pulling this country to uncharted waters ever known to humankind. Time is nigh to stop the rot

And your evidence for this silly and boneheaded diatribe against the Great Fighter?

Now, if a man with a brain soaking in whatever you called it can send your hero MT, the sprinter, to high fly it to his neo-imperialist masters in Paris, then, even if Mugage is not fit to rule the great people of Zimbabwe, then, HOLY OF HOLIES, it is perspicuous that MT would drag Zimbabwe to the greedy houses of loot of the reaction in Paris and other centers of neo-African infiltration.

Fighters don't run: they hold their ground and nook it out.

Cheers.
