Tsvangirai Jeered By Zim Exiles, Forced To Cut Short His Address

-
Morgan Tsvangirai slinks off as he is jeered by Zimbabweans in London at Southwark Cathedral. This was just over two hours ago as I write this. Tsvangirai had to cut short the event and leave after it became clear that the majority of the people present did not want to hear his apologies and lies about the "stability" of Zimbabwe


Morgan Tsvangirai was forced to cut short his address to Zimbabweans at Southwark Cathedral in London after they started jeering him. This happened about two hours ago.

According to the BBC website, Tsvangirai told his audience that his and Mugabe's government has ensured that there is "peace and stability" in Zimbabwe.

It was at that point that the crowd started jeering them, with some holding banners calling for Mugabe to go.

As we all know, Tsvangirai now says there is no need for Mugabe to go. In fact, he says Mugabe "is the solution" to Zimbabwe's impasse, telling an audience at Wits University in South Africa last month:

"President Mugabe is not going anywhere. He is with us in this government until we achieve positive results."

I wonder what the MDC-T praise-singers think now? Were the 1000 (yes a thousand) people who jeered Tsvangirai today at Southwark Cathedral CIO or ZANU PF?

Can they not see just utterly compromised the Prime Minister has become?

I guess not. They will still blindly follow, even if he tells them to vote for Mugabe today, they would defend him on that!!

Still, it is now plain for everyone to see that Tsvangirai hold no moral authority anymore within or outside Zimbabwe. He has become a liability to the MDC-T.

But they can do nothing to him because, as he once said at a rally in Gweru, "I am the MDC. Without me, there is no MDC."

So, there you have it. People are not happy with this man, they are not happy that he sold their votes to Mugabe. They are not happy that he is now globe-trotting to source funds for propping Mugabe, whom he says "is not going anywhere."

    Woww.. and I thought only politicians got jeered and booed in england. well that just goes to show you that trends can happen anytime. maybe we can teach old dogs new tricks. this one however seems to be a one trick pony.

    we'll be covering this on the main blog this week, as this is really newsworthy.

    btw, the red and black candle starts this week so that by the time he reaches back to zim, the candle will have done it's best. he is really on his own out there isn't he ? how glorious.

    I guess this a matter of 'damned if you do, damned if you don't'.

    Denford, if MDC had not decided to join the GNU, they would have been criticised by many zimbabweans for not having our interests at heart. Now that they join the GNU they are criticised by Zimbabweans yet again for siding with ZANU. I think what many people in the diaspora fail to realise is that the people living IN Zimbabwe just wanted some hope. Any hope! We know it is an imperfect relationship but the alternative is to ghastly to contemplate!

    Denford, in all honesty, and REALISTICALLY, what other options besides the GNU do we have?
    I would love to hear your thoughts on this matter.

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...
