To say that someone is a savage because he is black or white is stupid. To say that someone is a savage because he destroyed what has been built by several generations is correct! Mugabe is a savage. He inherited working industry and agriculture and destroyed it all. To be fair to him, he did not do it alone - he had many devoted members of ZANU-PF and "war veterans" to help him. The responsibility for the destruction is also partly shared by those who elected him on cheap populist slogans.
Mugabe should be tried and hanged. In 1982 he started Gukurahundi - terror and murder of Ndebele people who did not want to align with ZANU. The scale of atrocities obscured Nazis: 3 FEB 1983: Mass beating of villagers and shooting of 2 young pregnant girls, followed by their being bayonetted open to reveal the still moving foetuses. 13 FEB 1983: Whole village beaten, and 7 shot dead, including a teacher, after digging their own grave. Witnesses refer to a fountain of blood from the pit.
After 30 years of his presidency Mugabe came to the same situation as other communist dictators of the past: Stalin, Mao, Castro and Pol Pot: one party system, brainwashed population, failed economy, stalled education and collapsed health services on one side luxury villas for president, limousines, new clothes every day, tens of bodyguards on another. President Mugabe is a typical tin pot dictator.
Zimbabwe inherited from Rhodesia excellent agriculture, diverse and working industry, one of the best education systems in the world, efficient health care, developed network or roads and railways, mines, dams and bridges, communal infrastructure, national parks with pristine wildlife everything any other African country may only dream about. And squandered it all. WHo is to blame? Of course British, not yourself precious.

The Guide of the African revolution president Mugabe is an inspiration that will help even the unborn baby lead Africa in a glorious path. The enemy of the African people the satanic pink "white" race will always try it level best to preserve their supremacy and pain distribution over Africans at all cost, but that should not deter the Heroic African people.
Their satanic actions should increase our resolute spirit to achieve total independence from that proven viral entity.
There are no sanctions. It is all your propaganda. I challenged you to find one example of Zim company that was rejected export of import deal due to "sanctions", but you provided none. It is because there is none. The truth is simple: in order to keep in power Mugabe had to find a scapegoat - white farms. So they were pilaged by mobs of "war veterans" who in reality are just gangs of thugs. They stole and sold farm equipment and personal belongings of whites. Now they have no food. Idiots.
End the evil sanctions U.S , London , and Brussels.
The natural resouces are supposed to benifit the the people of Zim, Mugabe is just doing what's right.Governments in the West just think about what you are doing to the inoccent people of Zim.
blacks need brains a heart and a new soul live badly because of bad karma from their past they are killers. kill themselves and all they do is fuck have sex and babies. then they want all white men and women to split t heir pay to support them in their vengence and anger with themselves if they do not like being black dont hate whites we did not give birth to any of you.
this gorilas look well fed fat and thriving. they have no hunger they just want to hord food for what is coming people do not believe them they do not let even President Carter go inside to see the sick people. they are hording food medicines for their survival for what is coming of Nibiru worldwide distruction do not give out anything now keep to support your family this actors just want more so most of us starve when time is here of nothing they will not help feed us heal us blacks hate us
lebambi- you idiot, did you see any white journalists in that clip, NO. so stop pulling the colour card cause its very old and not true.black people in the clip where telling you the same thing the white people are, doesnt that tell you something quiet clear. it does to me, so open your eyes and wake up, cause not everybody lives for ever, your time is coming, when your boss goes what do you think is going to happen. ill give you a clue, things will change and you wont like it. you clown
true, shit happens but there is always someone they try to blame. there is racism on both sides but that doesn't do any good does it? mugabe fucked up a once great country. his mama should have flushed him when he was born...
May death be upon these pink "white" journalists and the many others. direspect against president Mugabe effectively made these pink "white" journalists our legitimate target.
when they mess with us they must be waken up by some serious heat.
I call on our warrior to study our arabs brothers attacks against pinks so that we can hit them in this time of lull peace.
was in dande and saw with my eyes people eating frogs, blaz in my kumusha, they were so hungry they are eating frogs and mbewa rats, you zanu pf people are going to pay my grandfather was sick but because he was MDC HE WAS GIVEN NO FOOD AND DIED BLAZO MHATA TO YOU PLLE
Zimbabwe is believed to be the only country in the world that now carries out routine financial transactions in dizzying set of quadrillions - one quadrillion is a 1 with 15 zeros behind it, or 1 000 000 000 000 000.
huaren62 - I am sure wyou won't agree, but South Africa and Rhodesia were far better run under the whites. The economies boomed, everybody had a job, there was food on the table and crime was kept to well within manageable limits. You've got your "freedom", but Zimbabweans are paying a very dear price for majority rule(the country has been destroyed) and crime in SA is almost now completely out of control. Enjoy your "freedom." That is if SA isn't the new Zimbabwe in 10 years or less.
huaren62 - The "democracy" you are referring to is an African style democracy - not the kind we have in the West. Mugabe and the ANC allow only their version of democracy, and impose rules that make it impossible for other parties to challenge their rule on a fair playing field. Mugabe has made it clear that the MDC will never rule Zimbabwe - if if they win the presidential run-off on June 27. Do you agree with that? Even M'Beki wanted his tenure as President to continue beyond two terma.
Gobygal77 - Many Africans I meet, especially from Zimbabwe tell me that life was far better under the whites. Sure, things weren't perfect, and there were many colonial sins, but anything is better than starving to death under some deranged dictator - unless you support his party. Besides, the cruelty shown by the Black Marxists towards the people they were supposedly "liberating" far exceeded anything the whites did. I'm with KreisaucircleSA all the way. SA will be another Zim in 10 years.
If SA will be another Zimbabwe, it is because SA has adopted this shit democracy and so called western "human rights". Desmond tutu should mind his own business instead of putting his nose in China affairs. In 2010 he will beg the football fans world wide to come to south africa and claim: "south africa is a DEMOCRACY you know blah blah... so you should come" even this country is crime infested.
And now, the same Africans who danced around punching the air and shouting "Uhuru!" (freedom) are abandoning "mother Africa" and heading for Europe, the UK, and anywhere else that will take their lazy black arses in.
Yes there was a reason to jump aup and shout Uhuru. I don't know what your race is, but for the black african, things were tough. Things are tougher now but that should not overshadow the pain inflicted on the black marjority during the days of oppression.
Rhodesia was a first world economy that took white pioneers only 75 years to build out of bush and rock. It took Robert Mugabe, a power hungry Marxist mass murderer less than 25 years to destroy it all. In later years, Ian Smith, the pariah of white Western liberals, would be mobbed by crowds of blacks who rushed to shake his hand. If Mugabe did the same thing he would be lynched. Mugabe Now South Africa is heading the same way with ANC Marxists in power.
Britain the former coloniser fail to act agaisnt the illegal regime of Ian Smith thus causing a civil war where tens thousand blacks die.
Now Britain fail to honour the lancaster house agreement where they are obliged to compensate the whites for the land reform which every party agree 25 years ago.
Lancaster House agreement was not honoured as Mugabe used this money to progress with the war in the Congo.He lined his pockets,and that of his cronies for their own personal gain.By the time it came to buying the land,the money had already been "used" up.Despot Mugabe
why do you some people want to blame Britain/USA? Wake up and smell the coffee, if you bite the hand that feeds you, the you're an idiot. That what Mugabe is, give me 15 seconds alone with him and you'll find one of dead, it surely wont be me! He's a f**in' wanker! togetther with everyone who supports me. People ar dying of hunger in Zim , not in USA/UK!
Zimbabweans are not known for violence, come on Africa wake up do you not see history repeating itself.Removing the farmers was a way of showing us were where still being controlled by the British are you guys too blind too see what has happened that's what they want you to do, blame each other and point fingers while they watch and act like there care after we start destroying each other they come rescue us as if there doing it for our good.
Your views are nonsense. You believe a lying, murdering, despot. Use your head and ask yourself some questions. How is the national GDP performing? Are basic infrastructural aspects being maintained? Is the economy able to absorb its available workforce? Is Robert Mugabe leading Zimbabwe for the good of each Zimbabwean? Did and does Robert Mugabe purge supporters of his political rival? Is the ZanuPF thiefdom the best Zimababwe can do by way of leadership?
I am really suprise South Africa is not trying to do anything. I remember when they was getting thier ass kicked by Bota they cried out for international help. Now one of thier brother countries need the same help they got and they now they are turning a blind eye. Where is Nelson Mandella? One the most respected man of freedom in Africa? Where are many other african leaders? This is what Africa has come to? What goes around comes around! The African Union is a big waste too.
Where are the other black countries in helping and standing up against the corruption within Zimbabwe. South Africa lorded it against white rule and now when an oppressive black neighbour abuses its people they do nothing which is the same as the other black countries. With George Bush arguably gaining power by corrupt electoral process it is hardly a wonder that as no example set there, that others follow.
At present Zimbabwe's situation is perilous. Under Robert Mugabe, the country has been systematically looted by the top brass in the army and the ruling party.
They have got rid of most of the white farmers who produced the basic wealth of the country. They control a deeply corrupt foreign exchange system that guarantees a few top dogs in government and the army millions of US dollars in hard currency every month.

So one big nigger kills a whole slew of other niggers and another nigger wants to knock off the other nigger so he can kill a bunch of other niggers. Ok i get the jist of the story, nice, very nice. In the mean time all the other niggers are starving and dropping like flies (life expectancy is now 35?) nice very nice.
US and UK are the biggest trouble maker in Zimbabwe. If Zimbabwe don't listen to their order, they will balme you, tarnish you, boycott you, making troubles in your country, support an opporsition party, get rid of you and kill you with the excuse of "freedom and democracy". It happens around the world: Iraq, Iran, Venezuela, Zimbabwe, Sudan, China, Turkey, Russia, Panama, Kosovo... "Freedom and democracy" is the biggest load of shit when it come out from the mouth of American politician!
Wake up Zimbabwe why are we finger pointing its not helping. look at our fellow African countries the riches continent in raw materials and yet the poorest in the world. Why? Why are the poorest but have so much maybe its time to wake up and see what we are doing to ourselves and act and stop proving to them that we can not rule ourselves Africa lets unite and starting making sense and not this nonsense.
oh please, zim is crap because bob is a moron. He removed his country's food supply which also happened to be a major part of the economy. You cant blame the US/UK for that. But then again, its the typical african response to blame others for the problems they themselves caused.
agreed... anytime something goes wrong, its the west's fault to them. but when they want help, who do they call first? either way, we lose. stop trying to use a scapegoat for your problems.
