Mugabe has always tried to get an excuse to give Khama(read Tsvangirai) a bloody nose.<br />This story will die a natural death and those poor guys will do time in Zimbabwe, eating sadza and cabbage like everyone else.<br />And the stunt of pulling diplomats out?? what is that supposed to achieve.We dont need an embassy in Gaborone.What are those people doing there anyway besides wasting gvt money on hefty salaries.ngavadzoke vedu. That was a stupid move by the Tswanas.Trying to imitate what the WEST does in similar rows.This is Africa and I dont think Bob gives a rat's behind about such moves.Playing big in a small town, the Tswanas, kuda kudheerera because we are poor.Abelhttp://abeldotmudiatyahoo.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-960370043342228756.post-21348674230040279152010-02-07T19:07:11.024+02:002010-02-07T19:07:11.024+02:00@Abel,

It is vindictiveness for the treatment meted out to Zimbabweans in Botswana.<br /><br />I ask: what about Zimbabwe claiming the moral high ground? Not doing to Tswana's what they would surely do to us?<br /><br />That is a tough course to follow, obviously, primarily because almost every Zimbabwe talking about this today says that doing so would make the Tswanas think that Zimbabwe is afraid of Botswana.<br /><br />It is a reasonable argument, in my view.Denfordhttp://denfordmagora.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-960370043342228756.post-19363182893353683782010-02-07T18:47:44.167+02:002010-02-07T18:47:44.167+02:00Denford, your tone is as if you think these Tswana...Denford, your tone is as if you think these Tswanas can just cross into our territory with guns and get away with it.Why? Imagine if roles were changed and we had three of our rangers crossing into botswana with guns.If they can flog normal people with only their clothes on their back, what more people with guns? Ngavarege kuda kudheerera these Tswanas.Those rangers must be taught a lesson so that noone will try again.Though we may be poor, we cant have every Tom Dick and Sally undermining us like that.They must pay for their loud mouths.Abelhttp://abeldotmudiatyahoo.comnoreply@blogger.com
