Warriors coach a national disaster

EDITOR — The so-called Warriors coach, Charles Mhlauri, was given enough, if not too much, time to prove himself and he failed. There is no doubt that his results have been a disgrace, and he is not likely to give us anything in the future. Zifa must have mercy on him by firing him to get him out of his misery, otherwise he will continue with his pathetic charade as a coach. If my memory serves me right, he is the worst coach we have ever had. Mhlauri is a natural and national disaster that must never be allowed to repeat itself. Zifa must fire him now!

Mugabe incorruptible

The British awarded an honorary doctorate to our President in the mistaken hope that he would give them our land in return.

Now that they realise he is incorruptible, even after they made him a knight, they are angry. Shame on them. In a blatant display of their sour grapes, the neo-colonialists have withdrawn their worthless piece of paper. I hope they will give it to their puppet, Morgan Tsvangirai, who I understand has none, and actually holds only certificates of attendance he attained at various international labour forums.

I think "Dr Tsvangirai" deserves such an "honour" for being the biggest sell-out since independence.

Why is Mutambara attacking the church initiative

I wonder if there will ever be a time in Zimbabwe when a good initiative or idea will be acepted based on merit rather than partisanship. What Mr Aurthur mutambara and obviously his colleagues in the MDC and others are complaining about with the church initiative, is mainly that they wanted to be participants and be credited too, but the document clearly says Church initiative. So thus this is what the churches think and are putting forward. If as Mr Mutambara says that the document is noble and the initiators honourable, let us then support them on the basis of national interest rather than who did they meet first, why did they have tea with the president. They had to meet someone and start somewhere.
 
For starters any initiative that is national in perspective should embrace all Zimbabweans including the president. But I bet you if they did not meet the president and met only the MDC, Zanu pF will not be supporting the ini! tiative as they have done so far because they would look at it as another opposition angle. So there goes the inherent intolerance that has become our life as Zimbabweans. One more thing, Mr Mutambara, since you agree that Zimbabwe is 90% Christian, why would you want to stall a Christian initiative just because the Muslims, Bhuddists, Hindus and the like are not part of it? So is your upcoming paper on the way forward going to be a Bhuddist initiative? I wont be surprised since Zimbabwe is looking East(China) these days. (Norman Madawo, USA)

Mutambara should not just react
What seems to be lost to Mutambara here is the concept of agenda setting. You can't be a leader who has to react to other people's initiatives without you taking the lead to set up an agenda everyone can foolow. No matter how flowed these initiatives are, they still remain that! An initiative. As long as the opposition does not set a tone and hence a national agenda they will keep responding to us via e-mail like this. Nyatsimba Mutota.

The MDC Executive election in Oxford

..will be remembered by many including me because it was short of that democratic measure. The main issue that disturbed me was how branches were formed. One Branch
Chairman formed several branches between July 2006 to September 2006 a situation which compromises democracy. In that making a person is giving himself an upper hand before the election. Our leadership in the party also failed us because they were suppose to verify the quorum of every branch before the election to ensure that transparence is promoted. But having said this the struggle continues. The UK elections are not the struggle but the struggle is back home. Lets learn from these mistakes and in future challenge abnormalities. We have to work together to achieve our liberation and the leadership
should know that they are there not to rule but lead.
