It is most likely Zimbabwe is now being governed by an 84 year old who is mentally deranged and surrounded by hangers on who are just cheerleading him on to new levels of madness.
Comments by Mugabe that there will be war if he loses the presidential run-off election and that he would rather cede power to a fellow Zanu PF member should be dismissed with the contempt they deserve.
Firstly all the murderers and pill-poppers in Zanu PF need to be reminded that only the people of Zimbabwe have the right to determine who leads them not ‘shoe shopping’ Grace Mugabe, 8 percent Simba Makoni, handkerchief Kenneth Kaunda or pipe smoking Thabo Mbeki.
We have had enough of this nonsense were some people think they are the eternal custodians of all that is Zimbabwean.
Yes we know its hard to swallow, but the long and short of it all is that despite your monopoly of the state media, killing of opposition officials, use of state resources and food for votes schemes, Morgan Richard Tsvangirai and the MDC beat Zanu PF and Robert Gabriel Mugabe during the March 29 election.
That will never change. Millions of Zimbabweans want change and Mugabe behaves like he owns the country.
We have always never understood the use of violence by Zanu PF and Mugabe. The reason is that no-one person can monopolise violence. Violence begets violence. Does Mugabe assume when he threatens war, he is the only who can fight one.
Zimbabweans all over the world need to stimulate a collective response to this madness in our country and stop this one person who acts like he own us and determines our fate. Its a matter of who fires the first shots.
