Why Robert Why Please go, you have proved that you can be tough one to crack but your time is nigh.

Sorry folks I have been glued to the airwaves, not much is happening after the elections but you cannot miss out on a briefing. MDC did better than ever before proving they are a clear threat to the current regime but we all know Mugabe and ZANU are not going to give in just like that, they are not going to hand over power just like that. MDC should have been better prepared; they know there is nothing like a fair and free election. Personally I was surprised that there was violence leading to the elections it was too good to be true, War vets (are they still around) and Youth Militia are normally employed to encouraged the masses to turn out and vote for Mugabe. It is widely believed that come 2^nd round they will be out in full force for the inevitable reinstatement of the lifelong President. MDC has done well but well is not good enough when you are up against such, ZANU is accusing them of cheating (Pot and kettle comes to mind) and would like the votes recounted in some areas is this all a gimmick to delay matters while they regroup to really show that they are not going anywhere. Zanu is taking time delaying all, pulling resources together and all they can to stop MDC from move into the State House. I can tell you now it will take a miracle to stop this regime going back into Power, over the years Mugabe has led his country in all sorts of hardship to prove to the west that he is going to die in Power and no one is going to stop him, conceding to MDC is not part of his plan he will not let the West have their way with him it’s a case of “Come and Get Me”. If Zanu and Mugabe force their way to stay in will there be foreign intervention to free the people of Zimbabwe.

  Zimbabwe was on the brink of change and looking forward to moving on but was this just part of the plan as all is now in limbo and no one knows what is going on. After all Zimbabweans have been through one would think that Mugabe was not going to get any votes let alone this to go for a 2^nd round.  In the past the opposition has been accused of being disorganised and not being up to the challenge, many believed they were not a threat to the ruling party but come on people can things get any better under the current Regime, new blood is needed.

 If you go to the rural areas most families are still together and they will tell you they are happy their self sufficiency keeps them content, it’s sad to say it is not the same in the urban areas Fathers, mothers, sons and daughters have left their homes in search of a better life, families have been broken up and most have ended up as economic migrants overseas and in neighbouring countries and who is benefiting from this everyone but Zimbabwe. The brain drain has trained the country and recovering from this is not going to be easy. What Zanu PF does not tell these people is that in today’s developing world there is ethical trade, most developing countries will pay handsomely and fairly  for crops that are grown by a small scale farmer and will offer assistance where needed, they need to be told that without the help they get from Zanu PF they can still get ahead earning a lot more that they are at the moment this is evident in places like Kenya and Tanzania where the small scale farmer is reaping the rewards of taking advantage of the ethical trade schemes in their countries. The masses in the rural areas need to distance themselves from the false sense of security that is presented to them by the party.
