Meet Morgan Tsvangirai in Washington D.C

-

It appears Morgan Tsvangirai, the Prime Minister of Zimbabwe is not meeting any of his countrymen during his trip overseas, which will last more than three weeks. There appears to be no meetings with Zimbabweans scheduled.

But, if you are in Washington D.C., there is a chance for you to spend an evening with the Prime Minister of Zimbabwe, at a concert organised by Capitol Resources (see the flyer above). This will be on June 12 2009 and the concert starts at 8:00p.m., Washington D.C. time.

But you will have to pay US$20 for the privilege.

I am not sure why the Prime Minister has decided to snub his own people and his own supporters out in the diaspora.

Could it be because it is now public knowledge that the Prime Minister and his party have banded together with Mugabe to pass laws that forbid Zimbabweans in the Diaspora to vote?

This also raises the question of whether the PM and Robert "The Solution" Mugabe know something we don't about the Constitution process. Why are laws being amended now and gazetted and even tabled at all if they are sure that we will have a new constitution in two years?

Why rush to deny people in the diaspora votes NOW, when there is no election imminent except for a few possible by-elections?

Could it be that they have now seen the survey done in the last month by a very respected local survey group, which shows Simba Makoni with more support than either of them? 

I wonder?

Who Killed Elliot Manyika?

Security was unprecedented at the burial of Elliot Manyika. Mugabe traditionallu has tight security, including two truckloads of fully armed combat troops and an ambulance (he has never used it), but even by his standards, the level of security at Heroes Acre was unusually tight. Here he inspects a guard of honour of t he presidential guard with his wife Internet connetion in this country is getting worse by the day. I have not been able to access the blog for more than 24 hours now and even as I write this, I am not sure I will be able to post it. We are continually getting "conectivity problems", whatever those are. We have lots to talk about, you and I. We can catch up on the comments page if you have any thoughts. First, it should come as no surprise that Jakaya Kikwete refuses to confirm or deny his conversation with Mugabe yesterday. It was a conversation in which he really was not making any demands, but merely asking if the "insurgency" case is nearing

Another Tsvangirai Family Accidental Death

Shaun Tsvangirai, grandson to Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai, drowned in the swimming pool at the PM's home in Strathaven. Shaun was being looked after by the PM and his wife The Prime Minister of Zimbabwe, Morgan Tsvangirai, lost a grandchild on Friday, who drowned in the swimming pool at the PMs residence in Strathaven, a middle-density surburb in Harare. The child who drowned is understood to be Shaun Tsvangirai, son of Garikayi Tsvangirai, himself a son of the Prime Minister. Garikayi had not been living with his parents in Strathaven but had instead left his two children in the care of their grandmother for quite some time now. Around the time of the death of Mrs Tsvangirai, I was told that Garikayi had actually been kicked out of the home together with his wife, after his parents objected to the union (the wife had apparently at one time left Garikayi for his friend before coming back to him. This was the source of discord, I was told.) At the time, I did not think the stor

Zimbabwe: Petition To Free A Two Year Old Toddler From Prison

Zimbabweans , and my readers from all over the world, take a good look at the photo above. This is what a two year old toddler looks like . A boy just like the sweet little kid above is imprisoned right now in one of Zimbabwe's most brutal and notorious prisons. His name is Nigel Mupfuranhehwe. His crime is that his mother is being charged with recruiting "bandits" to topple the government of Robert Mugabe. Zimbabwe lawyers who are representing his mother and the other accused in the case say that this little child has been beaten in front of his mother to get her to confess. Imprisoning a two year old in a maximum security prison together with murderers and rapists and some of the worst kinds of people on earth boggles the mind. I do not know how the government of Robert Mugabe is justifying this cruelity to itself, but I am more shocked at our own reaction, our silence and complicity in all this. Where is our sense of outrage, Zimbabwe? Where is our humanity? In all the
