Howzit
When Mugabe first came to power in 1980, he was the 'darling of the West' but as time and events on the ground progressed, he soon showed his true colours, and more and more Western countries decided that they didn't want anything to do with him. So he made a load of noise about his 'Look East' policy, and they have subsequently discovered that Mugabe will say and do whatever it takes to obtain whatever is on offer, only to renege on payment of trade.
Mugabe recently has discovered that the SADC mediator is not necessarily on his side.
So - he looked West, looked East, and looked South - and has found himself continually hindered in his totalitarian rule. Now all he has to do is look to North Africa to see what happens when you abuse the people long enough...
Embattled Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi has vowed to fight on even as rebels seize control of Libyan.
As rebels make stronger gains, there is speculation as to which countries might take Gaddafi if he should choose to leave Libya.
Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe has repeatedly condemned the western NATO alliance's offensive in Libya, prompting speculation that the southern African country could be a potential asylum destination for Gaddafi.
Mugabe has already set a precident with the former Etheopian leade Haile Mengistu Miriam who lives in comparative peace, I believe, in Kariba...
Mugabe stated that the death of Mujuru was a tragic accident, and his VP, estranged wife of the deceased, Joyce Mujuru, has called for the idea that he was killed in a crime be quieted.
So why then have we got the ZRP arresting and questioning people on the death?
Zimbabwean police say they have questioned 23 people including three policemen in connection with the death of former Zimbabwe army commander General Solomon Mujuru last week.
Gen Mujuru who was married to Zimbabwe’s Vice President Joice Mujuru died after fire gutted his farm house near Harare on Tuesday.
He was buried at the country’s national shrine in Harare at the weekend amid intensifying rumours that he was murdered by opponents in President Robert Mugabe’s ZANU PF party.
State media on Tuesday, quoting unnamed sources said the three policemen quizzed in the probe were guarding Gen Mujuru’s property on the night of the fire.
Others were people who were at places where the former commander of one of Zimbabwe’s liberation movements led by President Mugabe passed through on his way home.
Think about it... who has the most to gain in the death of Mujuru?
A respected political commentator, who refused to be named, has told SW Radio Africa that ZANU PF leader Robert Mugabe stands to gain the most from the death of retired army General Solomon Mujuru. General Mujuru died in a suspicious farmhouse fire in Beatrice, 60 km outside Harare last week Tuesday.
“Mujuru was the last remaining person within ZANU PF who was able to speak out against Mugabe during politburo meetings. His death, whether an accident or an assassination ordered from the very top, benefits Mugabe more than any other individual. It has removed the last remaining strong voice to challenge Mugabe.”
The analyst told SW Radio Africa that most people were focused on accusing a rival faction led by Emmerson Mnangagwa, ignoring the fact that Mugabe is still in charge, despite his declining health. Mugabe has also shown no desire to exit the political stage. In fact he was reported to have confessed to Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai that he cannot retire because his divided party will implode.
He reportedly spent some time drinking at a motel before leaving for his farm in the evening.
MDC-T youth assembly deputy president Costa Machingauta was yesterday arrested and was being held at Glen View Police Station, as police intensify their clampdown on party activists in Harare.
His lawyer, Gift Mtisi, confirmed the arrest last night.
"I can confirm he was arrested for assaulting a person in a bar last night (Sunday). I am with him right now at the police station," he said.
The arrest comes at a time MDC-T youth assembly president Solomon Madzore is also wanted by the police in connection with the alleged murder of Police Inspector Petros Mutedza in Glen View in May.
Madzore recently failed to attend the burial of his mother in Buhera amid reports the police were looking for him in connection with the incident.
Yesterday, the MDC-T youth assembly claimed while Machingauta was held at Glen View Police Station, some unidentified youths stormed the station baying for his blood.
How is it acceptable, in any country, that political youth are permitted to 'storm the station' without punishment?
If the youth, reportedly allied to Mugabe, are such bastions of virtue, why then is it necessary for them to 'bay for his blood' if the legal system is a working model?
Take care.
