The authorities should read the riot act to the leaders of MDC because they alone are responsible for the wanton behaviour displayed by their supporters,themselves and their apologists.We are fed up by people whose language knows no value to the tenets of nationhood.Zimbabwe is a country cursed by poor memories and a lack of self identity.It is unacceptable for future leaders to grovel about someone's age as an issue in politics.There are principles which never look at age as an issue especially in politics.Mugabe is probably the sharpest politician alive in both intellect and principle.

Fo yo own info Zim doesnt belong to Zanupf and being a liberation hero doesnt make someone immune to laws of the land. The net of justice is closing on all those thugs soon and the people's will prevail. Even those who fathered girl children shud nt slip with their kids coz its against the law. Ukamubata chete mwana iyeye ijeri rawatarisana naro, thats wat wil hapen to those liberation heroes who are abusing people. Kuenda kuhondo wasnt a personal choice guys it was a national calling, so live with the truth. Kana dai maisada makaregerei kurega those willing cud have done it fo the nation freely. Whom do u want to pay u for that service?

Let violent tactics be discarded. If they feel MDC are sellouts sponsored to recolonise Zimbabwe, let them show all evidence in public. Food for thought.

Aren't they accountable to people also and if they fail to do work shouldn't the people be allowed to choose a leader of their choice. Your call is therefore not necessary at this particular moment in time. And did you know the liberation struggle was sponsored by China and Russia. Did the people complain? Do you expect worn-out peasants to sponsor an opposition considering that the ruling elite have a monopoly on the resources. I am not an MDC, but the government should just outline their policies rather than consider themselves as the only ones who have the right to govern. You say Tsvangirai must not be given free movement, Isn't he a Zimbabwean who has every right to articulate his policies. Icho!

Initially, you said you were not going to contest the elections unless international (i.e not only regional) observers were allowed into the country. You knew very well that Robert would not allow this to happen. And then you changed your stance and participated, claiming that you had consulted the people.

After the run-off, you ranted on and on about boycotting the run-off, making your previous demands (which you knew would never be met). And then finally you said you had made up your mind about partipciating but you would not disclose your decision until ZEC announced a run-off date. Well, ZEC are yet to announce any date for a run-off but you have already reneged on your own threat, claiming once again that the people want you to participate.

My question is: When you issue all these vacuous boycott threats for weeks and weeks, do you consult the same people and issue the threats under their direction? Or is it you who is just clueless?

Mr Tsvangirai, people need to be led. They need a leader who is decisive and resolute. Your fickleness is counter-productive on the political field. The problem is that you have surrounded yourself with individuals (Chamisa and Biti in particular) who are equally clueless. Get some true intellectuals (not mere rabble rousers) into your camp and formulate a coherent party policy. That way you will avoid making a fool of yourself. Ukatonga uchaona ana UK vako ivavo vave kushandisa your present gaffes against you.
