I think ZanuPF should investigate and make an example of these cops and put a stop to this nonsense which is staining our image.

And while you are at it, find out who paid them, too?

Maybe they were even paid fat backhanders to pull the opposition leader over and detain him and his entourage for 8 hours?

It is not an impossible to organise anything with a couple of fivers.

In fact it would be a brilliant ploy because we all know that every time a man is locked up the more it enhances his image into that of a martyr and a saint.

Everytime the Rhodesians locked up any of our black leaders the free publicity was worth every hour spent in those cells.

It inconvenienced those waiting supporters at the rally - and perhaps they are either more determined now, or are they disillusioned?

I think if no speakers arrive at any rally half an hour after they are due to speak, then the voters should go home.

On the other hand perhaps these were just over zealous police officers Opposition supporters who couldn't get to the rally and decided to have their own rally in the police station where MT would convinced the listeners which way to go?

After all the world and them knew RGM was in Italy. In this world today nothing is impossible.

This slight hiccup in MT's journey was a brilliant coup either by his PR company staging the proposed rally or by the police officers at the roadblock who wanted him all to themselves for 8 hours.

How come all these 18 headlines from New York to Australia and around the world emanated instantly from a tiny village called Lupane in the middle of the African bush?

There only a few who are aware of exactly where Lupane is and that beneath it lies precious Gas for Africa? (Those who want to take over our precious minerals because they identified it in the beginning.)

This whole road block scenario is suspect, and I dont believe the reasons given for the 8-hour detention at all.

You have Americans who dont like Bush but are patriotic to the core let's be proud of our fabled Ophir(Zimbabwe`s ancient name where King Solomon aquired gold for his Temple) Oh let me go off topic a bit.. What was Mr Tsvangirai on about when he said he and his people would go to vote with blood dripping on their hands? I thought its murderers whose hands drip with blood of their victims.
