Mugabe holds lavish birthday party - 28 Feb 09

Zimbabwe remains stuck in poverty and an economic crisis, but no expense was spared for the President Robert Mugabes 85th birthday. While thousands languished in hospitals with no staff or medicine, Mugabe and his loyal supporters celebrated the day with a huge cake, balloons, lobster, and champagne. Al Jazeeras Haru Mutasa reports from the town of Chinhoyi.

Mugabe doesn't give a rat ass about the country and he surely isn't afraid of ramifications since he will be long dead by the time anyone decides to act against him. Nothing is more important than living lavishly that last few years of his life. A guy who fears no retribution and doesn't think anyone but himself is not a good for the country's sake!

I think you are just angry because you haven't had anything to eat for about a week. Maybe if Mugabe (the Hitler reincarnate) did not spend all the humanitarian aid (from evil "pink - white" westerners) on new palaces and European shopping sprees for his cunt of a wife, the poor people of Zimbabwe might not only survive but excel.

You can fester in the heat of your raging fire of hatred - but don't forget why Zimbabwe is the poorest, shittiest place on the planet....Mugabe. I hope he dies soon

I still cant believe that some of you guys think that Ian Smith was a hero

[whiteozzie1]

Every time mugabe opens his mouth he just keeps on proving what the great Ian Smith fore told!!!!! Again, Ian Smith was right. Zimbabwe is a failure, if you ask very nicely then maybe the Rhodesians will come back and pull you out of the shit and get things running again!!! lol

This is simply Darwins law at work ... just give them a few more decades, then there'll be plenty of land, resources for whomever will settle there again.

Let's not forget: Africa was the cradle of mankind. These ppl are the earliest form of men since the neanderthal ppl died off. It's a form of ppl that rot from old-age and that you might find in a few hundred years only in reservations, museums and zoos.

I still cant believe that some of you guys think that mugabe is a african hero, do you need to be reminded about the massacare of thousands of people by his 5th brigade, your own people for gods sake. Open up your eyes and your minds! This man is evil, he is destroying you all and your beautiful country. You were all better off when you could all proudly hold your heads up high as Rhodesians. Or am i just talking to a bunch of zanu-pf terrorists?

Mugabe is the leader of the brown 'black" race and we tell the pink 'white" race we will feed you shit if you do not stop yout evil behavior toward our legend. pink "white" people deserve to be all shot in the head for being devilish ever since we have known them. these demons enslaved us and became rich and yet they do not want us free from their madness. we wish death this evil race.

Thank you very much Mugabe - leader of the people. You are indeed a hero. Only if all African leaders could stand up like you do - do it for your people. The situation in Zimbabwe is the situation the whole continent, not just Zimbabwe. Aids generally is killing in the whole southern region - why pick on Zimbabwe - because they have interest in Zimbabwe? ??????

[ProtectingAfrica]

The heroic hero of Africa president Mugabe is protecting Africa from pink "white" people terror and madness; he is a legend like no others. The fact that pink people media are the ones making noise about Mugabe is a proof that they want to maintain their crimes in Africa. We warn the pink people to know that there will be trouble for you if you do not end your madness. You assume we are slaves or your propaganda will affect us, we have plans for your shit race.

@terencezs123 it's funny how when the white people have EVERYTHING and kill and abuse blacks. when the blacks gain in number and plan on dealing back what was dealt to them that's when you devils want peace and understanding. hell no! if the white man won't come around,put him in the ground! that goes for women,crippled crazies,elderly, the babies..etc. you killed our eoder,babies,crippled...etc. huntin' ain't fun when the rabbit's got the gun!
