The racial chatter is whats sinking us deep, deep in a lake of doodoo.. For shit's sake Zimbabwe is 27 yrs old. and some of you old farts are still keeping scores of crap that only make you bitter and poorer at heart. "The highest result of EDUCATION is TOLERANCE (Helen Keller), yet some of you college educated pricks cannot cut through the fluff. History is History good or bad. We are supposed to learn from it.

Swifty; Oh tough luck, you have been piped at the the post for my YT Idiot Poster of the Year, someone even more deluded than your good self.

Thankfully they have 1500% inflation [will be 1700% by the timeyou read this]

Thankfully there is 80% unemployment

Thankfully there is no food, because even if there was - the regular Joe on the Mfakosi bus/taxi would not be able to afford it.

I could go on - but you know how properity is...

[ZimAnswer]

Thank you!

This is not party politics!

Yes but we have to blame Jimmy Carter he is to blame, for handing over a country that was the bread basket of africa..Blacks never had aparteid in Rhodeisa...Now it is called the basket case of Africa....shame on you Mugabe...should be brought to trial....;

What a truly mature comment sir!! Thank you for your unbiased view and post. You are a credit to Zimbabwe!!

[OutOnBailNow]

Thank you for those dignified and magnanimous comments

[usaruss]

This is the kind of man they need in their government. He is certainly a well rounded thinker. Seems like a peacemaker.

[R3dp055um]

Words of calm and reason, from a kind and generous heart.

I think you are getting confused with your History, Smith never ever killed anyone.Blacks had jobs and food.I agree in the beginning they was a little problem with Blacks voting, but i believe that as Smith got older, All he was trying to do was save ZIM from a Marxist Gov, namly Mugabe, Mugabe was the murdring raciest ,thief.When Smith ran the Gov..Unemployment 5% inflation %2 and that was ehn we have sanctions...Mugabe could never ever walk a mile in Smiths shoe.

[agaath1953]

Ian Smith was a remarkable man....When he was in power the unemployment rate was 5% inflation was 2% and that was when we had sanctions from the rest of the wolrd...Mugabe is a murderous tyrant who has murdered and raped his own people...He has destoryed a country..BUT we all knew it would happen....Long live Ian Smith

[scoobyDx]

he is a man of god. what do you want him to do get up and curse a dead man while his loved ones are mourning? he's a good example to follow, to be kind even when a man who oppressed you has died, not to take pleasure in the death of any man.. he isn't excusing anything just talking with respect. and he is right, ian smith is an inseparable part of zimbabwes history who should not be forgotten or ignored

[essexfarmer]

Well said. Honest and quite courageous really....like the vast majority of your countrymen I have had the pleasure of meeting.

I hope that a time will soon arise where he could be reburied in his homeland, or at least a memorial plaque put up, but in today's ZANU-PF climate, I suspect that will not be possible, as it would soon be desecrated.

Let's hope the world soon wakes up to help Zim.
