THEN ITS "MUCH MORE WORSE" THAN YOU CAN EVER THINK IN ZIMBABWE!!!!
Its worse than you think in Zim.
A certain Albert in Alberton, JHB phoned “Radio 702” (which I listen to for most of the day) this morning (22 April, 2008) and said he had been speaking to his mum over the phone (she’s in Bulawayo) and she said its getting very, very rough.
The CIO planted some weapons between certain townships and are beating people saying the MDC had hidden them for use. He says its completely stupid because there are no more forests anywhere between townships - or anywhere else even (where anyone can hide anything.)
The CIO are also spreading junk that the ship that was seen at Durban (which had arms) ....the arms were actually meant for the MDC!
This smells of the very persecution that Dr Nkomo suffered in the 80s. Arms were planted by Mugabe's CIO and the rest is History.
ITS WORSE THAN YOU CAN EVER THINK, MY FRIENDS!

THEN REV HOVE'S ARTICLE: "THE BATTLE MUGABE CAN NEVER WIN!"


PRELIMINARY REMARKS:

It is very vital that the whole world should know that ZANU-PF has always had two faces. There is the face that is shown to the world and the face that the common man on the ground sees and brushes and inter-acts with.

We who have been part of ZANU-PF for all our adult lives can testify that ZANU-PF is a very dangerous organisation indeed. I will try to follow the bumpy journey that we have had with Mugabe and ZANU-PF since before the Independence of 1980.


It must be emphasized that Mugabe and ZANU-PF have always existed as some sort of under-dog. That is the underline that must never be ommitted.

The President , Cde Simon “Dreadman” Mudekwa has asked me to inform you that on Friday, 11th April, 2008; the young people will proceed to President Mbeki’s Offices to deliver an urgent Petition.

This is especially because President Mbeki is attending a SADC Heads of State and Government meeting in Lusaka on Saturday. So the Youths are giving him an urgent ULTIMATUM!

The Youths will then proceed to the SADC Foreign Desk to deliver an equally strongly worded PETITION.

Please contact the President Mudekwa on 0796192955 or the Sec General on 0722543486.

Thank you.

CONGRATS POUR IN FOR PRES TSVANGIRAI AND THE MDC!


SENIOR SOLDIER ADDRESSES THE NATION: ITS ALL OVER!!!


Tsvangirai is ahead of Matibili (RGM) by 177980 votes!

The dilemma that Robert Mugabe is currently facing as an individual and ZANU (PF) as a party, is how to secure a re-run of the Presidential Elections without the election results being announced first!
Announcing the results, as they are, really amounts to conceding defeat thereby declaring Morgan Tsvangirai the New President of the Republic of Zimbabwe.
The facts and figures, based on the Parliamentary results, are as follows: Total number of votes cast - 2 405 147If Morgan Tsvangirai got - 50,3% and his rival Robert Mugabe - 42,9%, what it means is that either Tsvangirai has to lose the 0,3% or Mugabe has to gain 7,1% of the total votes in order for there to be a re-run of the presidential elections.
The easier of the above options is to ensure that somehow Morgan Tsvangirai has to lose the 0,3% of the votes which translates to 722 votes. The question that then arises is how that can be successfully accomplished in view of the fact that all results from each polling station have been published. How many changes would ZEC have to make in order to reduce Morgan Tsvangirai's votes by the 722 votes.
Imagine the number of polling station results that need to be tempered with to deprive Morgan of the crucial number of votes. In conclusion; ZANU (PF) is now calling for a recount, not because they believe they got less votes that they should have obtained, but simply in order to manipulate the results so as to ensure that Tsvangirai loses the contentious 722 votes thereby securing a run-off and ultimately a re-run of the elections.
I do not envy ZEC staff as they are under immense pressure to achieve the impossible.
1) Who under the above circumstances can proclaim that ZANU (PF) does not know the results of the elections?
2) Who can deny the fact that Morgan Tsvangirai has won the elections and should be declared PRESIDENT!
ANON..HARARE, ZIMBABWE!!


Rev Hove and "ZIMFINALPUSH" congratulate President Morgan Richard Tsvangirai!

I hope the visitors to "Zimfinalpush" join Rev Mufaro Stig Hove in congratulating His Excellency, Mr Morgan Richard Tsvangirai on a deserved victory! We salute all the activists, journalists, bloggers; all public and private supporters and all "friends of Zimbabwe" who stood by the Democrats during these last very calamitous times.
We regret that various heroes like the late gallant Learnmore Jongwe are not physically among us to witness the return of Zimbabwe to a Democracy!
Mr Morgan Tsvangirai has finally arrived where he did arrive as early as 2000. Everyone (including President Thabo Mbeki) knows that the MDC should have got into power in 2000. Robert Gabriel Mugabe became illegitimate in 2000.
WELL, IN SHORT, WE CONGRATULATE YOU DZIVA/SAVE!!

URGENT: WORLD MUST RAISE ALARMS BELLS FOR ZIMBABWE!!

Good morning Mr Hove.
Please be our Moses by asking President Mbeki and President Tsvangirai NEVER, EVER to accept an extension of the Election re-run date because I predict that:


1. The final looting and destruction of the Resources and the Economy has been planned for the expected 90 days extension period as can be confirmed by the hurried and hasty introduction of the new ZIM $50 mil note last night.

################################
2. Violence and retribution against the Opposition members shall rise to UNPRECENDENTED LEVELS resulting in a blood-path that Bob desperately wants as can be confirmed by statements coming from the Security Top Brass and War Veterans.

###############################

3. If Bob does not concede defeat soon after the results and decides not only to fight to the bitter end but to extend the re-run date: decisions expected to be made at today’s Politburo Meeting….then its time to raise ALL the Alarm bells!!!

"Time for cool heads to prevail in Zimbabwe" by Tanonoka Joseph Whande

PERSECUTION, violence, pestilence, corruption, plague, economic breakdown and death of all kinds and causes - yes, you find all that in Zimbabwe today. And you also find it in Chapter 6 of the Book of Revelation.
While I grapple with trying to understand it, the little that I comprehend leaves me immobilized, frightened and utterly defeated.

@@@>>>BRIAN KAGORO'S VERY PASSIONATE PLEA!!! PLEASE DON'T MISS THIS ONE!!!<<<@@@

The recent developments in Zimbabwe generally and on the political landscape have raised a lot of moral , ethical,and ideological challenges for me and I guess many others like me. First there is the issue of Simba(which in Zulu means trash and in Kiswahili LION......how ironic?).
Indeed there are many who would happily go along with the Zulu meaning of the man's name and yet many others who would rather believe that the LION that will defeat Bona's son has finally come out of hiding? As we oft said in the years past , IMF....(meaning It is Mugabe's Fault).

I'm in a precarious situation where every word I issue is analysed etc....I mean by the real political players.

PLEASE ADD TO COMMENTS ABOUT DR S MAKONI'S ENTRY INTO POLITICS!!!

The last 8 years have failed to produce the kind of change that the country required to lift it up instead the political and economic crisis has worsened.
It is generally agreed that the political stalemate of the last 8 years is a reflection of a leadership deficit that is characteristic of many post colonial states in which fear is the optimal currency used to regulate and manage political behaviour under the guise of consensus and nation building.

"Why Tsvangirai and Mutambara must make way for Makoni" by Innocent Chofamba Sithole

FOLLOWING Simba Makoni’s decision to run for President on March 29, the time may be ripe for opposition faction leader Morgan Tsvangirai and Arthur Mutambara to pack in and run for parliament instead.
Mutambara acknowledges his limits in the presidential race at the present moment and regards himself really as a future president. This is why, in my opinion, he has been ready at various times in the unity discussions between the two MDC factions to play second fiddle to Morgan.
