    This is a laugh, clearly this is an admission by Obama that all the support they gave MDC has brought absolutely no change or hope for Zimbabweans, except enrich the useless leadership of Morgan and Tendayi Biti, whilst America has exploited the economy by allowing the use of the American dollar, are south Africans so dumb they cannot see the impact it has on their economy?

    Where was the U.S. during Rhodesia apartheid period. I'll tell you, they were helping South Africa imprison Mandela! They had a policy called "Constructive Engagement", refusing to impose sanction of the Rhodies. Obama is a Trojan horse.

    Mutetwa;

    NO, South Africans or rather AZANIANS are not dump; they are clearly seeing the impact that the imposition of sanctions on Zimbabwe and the subsequent use of the USD in the Zim economy has on their own economy.

    The problem is with the dump, unsophisticated and unclever and corrupt leadership in that country. They have allowed themselves to be used by imperialists because, in the first place, they are themselves compromised because of the corruption and the unhealth activities (some of them sexual) that they are carrying on their backs. Otherwise how else can anyone explain the behaviour of stupid idiots like Lindiwe Zulu?

    I say Azanians are NOT dump because we have them on the streets EVERYDAY, demonstrating against the Zuma regime. And in response we have seen the massacre that took place at Marikana. This shows that the people of this great nation of Azania are seeing what is going on but would not want to upset their 'hero' - Mandela, who is ailing in a hospital bed - although he is the cause of all these problems in that he took reconciliation too far and forgot why he was jailed for 27 years in the first place.

    That is also why you have young revolutionaries like Julius Malema who are advocating for the repossession of wealth from those who stole in from black people in the first place. As we have all seen and witnessed, Malema today is being persecuted for daring to want to empower the black people of Azania.

    So, therefore, I agree with you that there is dump and dead wood in Azania but not to the people of that nation but to the leadership that is failing to learn from past experiences where other Africans ended up selling their fellow Africans out to slavery for thirty pieces of silver.

    Zuma, through the whore called Lindiwe Zulu is, today, the modern sellout who wants to sell Zimbabwe and all its people to imperialists. He has taken it upon himself that he will, during his watch, deliver Zimbabwe for recolonisation.

    However, we will resist these machinations because we know them and have VERY GOOD WAYS of stopping them in their tracks. Thank you!!!
