But then again what can one expect from a politician of his intellect whose political foundation is immersed in calling sheepish workers to do labour strikes.<br />I long to see a Zimbabwe where political leaders from different parties sit side by side live on national TV and debate about issues concerning the development of the country like what they do during election campaigning in USA and South Africa. Only when that becomes possible without some party followers being paid or simply commanded to interject with decampaigning remarks or questions that are unreasonable, will we all agree that democracy in this country has fully matured. For now democracy in this country is only an illusion. The sad part is that the very party that calls itself the champion of democracy is the very same party that behind the scenes pay some of its followers to sabotage democracy. No wonder Solomonysdelle shook his head and walked away, the coalition government should not cry foul about the brain drain if they continue like this and many more intellectuals shake their heads and walk away.Eusebiahttp://peacelovehappiness-eusebia.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-960370043342228756.post-68602051541836481752009-05-05T10:47:00.000+02:002009-05-05T10:47:00.000+02:00They are proving to be exactly what some of us hav...They are proving to be exactly what some of us have been saying all along. Oh poor Tsvangirai he has no sense of shame.Dr Makoni and Morgan Tsvangirai are not in the same league at all, from personality, character and depth. He is no match, and he knows that. Poor him, Dr Makoni is just unstoppable once he devotes all to the country's presidency race.Thokozilenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-960370043342228756.post-35206479387132622292009-05-04T21:18:00.000+02:002009-05-04T21:18:00.000+02:00I am now convinced this is the main reason why peo...I am now convinced this is the main reason why people are silently running away in masses from MDC-T. People are just quitting.Hooliganism! I used to discourage my colleagues from leaving the MDC and instead to be patient but with this, I do not think it is worth it. Honestly this is not what we agreed from the start when the MDC was launched on 11 September 1999. I now also hold the belief that the membership exodus from MDC-T is justified somehow. What these young men did to Simba is just unfortunate. Some of us have now decided to sit on the fence until a genuine political party that is democratic, honest and transparent is formed. But for now I say goodbye to politics.Grace Rukwezanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-960370043342228756.post-51951772810392199362009-05-04T20:56:00.000+02:002009-05-04T20:56:00.000+02:00Oh my God!

It lays bare the same claims by some retired majors,who no doubt were the ones buying scuds and promising people things,in the process soiling the name of the movement.It can only come from shallow minds to believe that Dr Makoni is still zanupf.At least now the people of Zimbabwe can judge for themselves through the actions of our leaders who the real enemy of our people is.The time for Simba to stand up and be counted is nigh. In the name of true democracy may the people of Zimbabwe wake up to the truth and unshackle our minds.The hate and polarisation of the lost decade should make way for tolerance so that we embrace each other as one people even if we belong to any one of three,four or ten political parties.What really was achieved by those that dictated who was to participate in the now doomed GPA and would the nation still be debating about how to go about with national healing if we had included the likes of Simba. Better still if the main protagonists then had heeded his call for just before or immediately after the March 2008 election,the brother whose sister was raped by the zanu guy sitting next to him would not be in the dilemma that he is in because all the madness would not have happened in the first place!So fellow countrymen, lest we forget...evryone else has fooled us before.

Is it me or is he turning into a little Mugabe himself. I guess Mugabe has a way of making people really work for him. Soon Tsvangirai will graduate as a full member of ZANU PF. These Puppets know they are no match for Dr Makoni hence they employ such shameful tactics.

I am not biased towards Simba but he has just made himself stand above the rest, i have never heard of an open gallery called for by Tsvangirai, "How then, can he claim to be representing the masses. A good leader confronts the problems and debate them and set their position clear.<br /><br />Tsvangirai has been accused of being a pupet of the west and not on any occasion has he stood to provide defence for the Zanu claims. <br /><br />I would be happy if one day, the national TV and Radio would provide a two hour long debate between Dr makoni, Mr Tsvangirai, Mr Mugabe, Prof Mutambara . Were all clarify on their party`s position.<br /><br />I bet you it will only be Makoni who will volunteer first for the debate.<br /><br />Politics is not fair, based on facts and policies the Mavanbo has been consistent, i would not like to go in to positions the MDC-T has taken in only the last year.bhulenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-960370043342228756.post-72865955068552374802009-05-03T14:18:00.000+02:002009-05-03T14:18:00.000+02:00Varume izvi zvinonyadzisa izvi zvinoitwa nemayouth...Varume izvi zvinonyadzisa izvi zvinoitwa nemayouth eMDC.Taurayi Paurendo, Mutarenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-960370043342228756.post-73158296552337927922009-05-03T14:00:00.000+02:002009-05-03T14:00:00.000+02:00What a shame.
