A senior ZANU PF official has confirmed that the parties have agreed the MDC would control the finance ministry, which is crucial for reviving Zimbabwe’s ruined economy and attracting foreign investment. “I understand the Ministry of Finance has been settled in favour of the MDC, but that proposals on how to handle the Ministry of Home Affairs are still being discussed behind closed doors. We have no details on that,” the source told reporters.
Yesterday U.S. Ambassador to Zimbabwe James McGee offered a bleak assessment of the dynamics of the uneasy relationship between the partners in the proposed unity government.
McGee told a foreign policy audience at Freedom House in Washington that President Robert Mugabe and hardliners in his longtime ruling ZANU-PF party are stalling on the implementation of the power-sharing agreement signed on Sept. 15 and would continue to do so.
McGee described that agreement as “highly imperfect,” as Mr. Mugabe and prime minister-designate Morgan Tsvangirai, founder of the Movement for Democratic Change which emerged from opposition to majority in parliament in March elections, “will have what appear to be equivalent powers,” so it is unclear how government policies will be set.
“We can expect continued absence of good will from President Mugabe and his allies as they attempt to cling to power and continue to enrich themselves,” McGee said.

Home affairs is essentail as well, MDC needs to get it no matter what Prime Minister designate Hon Mr M Tswangirai. This is important so that chihuri resigns we are tired of that man and his brutality to people who do not support his master. Zimbabwe has capable people who can do the job far much better than chihuri. mugabe can keep his Gukurahundi/Army. Time is up for Zanu PF party, they should all retire and go and enjoy the farms they got illegaly. Finance and Home affairs for the people’s party Vakomana naMadoda akithi.

The MDC strategist has said that morgan signed a deal that had many holes , some of them big enough to drive a truck through. So morgan new all along but he did not say anything. He let people speculate and the conclusion was that mbeki and mugabe had hoodwinked him. All the while his american representative Mcgee was advising morgan on whats best for us zimbabweans.Pure madness. Morgan is simply not acting in the interests of zimbabweans. Had he not signed the deal then may be the situation would be different today. Had he asked mbeki to plug those gaps before signing then we would be facd with a different scenario today.By not demanding that those gaps be pugged morgan did not act in the interests of the people. He has allowed this thing to get out of control when it could have been contained before he signed it.
I can see why he did what he did. The idea is to please his masters.Their overall objective has always been the same and that is to get rid of mugabe or to reduce his powers so that his influence in the future is diminished.Thats fine if its their strategy but they must not let people speculate .They should have come out an said the truth that morgan is signing a deal that is incomplete as it was part o their strategy.Morgan held a rally before signing this deal and promised never to sign a bad deal. By signing the next day a deal we now know he knew was full of gaps as mcgee put it , he misled the people of zimbabwe.It was not honourable to do that. I worry about the people who advise morgan because their objectives are differnt from ours.They are obsessed with the removal of mugabe and we want our country out of the gutters.we want a peaceful nation that is united or the future will not be so rosy for long.
In my opinion if the mdc continue on this path , then we are headed for a major explosion.The only losers will be us the people.As things stand the sanctions are still in place and morgan new this would be the scenario all along.But he does not mind because he wants the west to help him become the president of zimbabwe by refusing to drop sanctions until the economy collapses.Now that he has signed a deal we are stuck in the middle-with a deal but sanctions in place.On the other hand the regime change agents are demanding we follow a free market economy-human rights this and that when all they want is mugabe to lose his powers or to be forced out.Why are they raping our nation and mdc are playing a part. Up to now morgan has not come out and ask for the sanctions to be dropped.If he knew that the sanctions would not be dropped when he signed the deal , then he is a b**** fool than he already is.People are dying right now. He and mcgee in the meantime play golf and use food aid to prop up the mdc image as the people’s saviours.
Guys this is how Africa has always been ****ed by outsiders.Do not allow yourselves to be used in this way.What is the use of Mcgee in zimbabwe? To campaign for the mdc.Zanu pf though wounded will always rise to the challenge.Soon or later i can forsee a violent situation if things continue this way.The only way we can avoid that is to have a third way-may be mavambo project or similar opposition.MDC has failed and are not making decisions that benefit us but benefit the west objective of leadership change. We are prepared to work together but these animals through the mdc are playing games with our lives.Only those with great minds will understand where i am coming from.The rest of you please i know your shallow opinions already so just read the article and keep quiet.
I heard it from the horses’s mouth-mcgee himself.He said morgan signed a deal with gaps and he knew what he was signing.Why then do we think he was trapped or cheated by mbeki? Did he anticipate the current scenario? Why then do we accuse mugabe of being unreasonable with the allocation of ministries when morgan could have sorted all this before signing? Mcgee and morgan please just go back to your golf game .We want to solve our problems.

After mcgee speech yesterday , i can now see why zanu pf is reluctant to go full steam ahead with this deal. I dont blame them because i think morgan is not acting in good faith.The man has this mad a****on of becoming the first zimbabwe president without o levels.Thats fine but please dont make us suffer in order to achieve your a****on.The strategy you are following is not good for the people of zimbabwe-it is only good because your masters have chosen it and its the only one that will make you president in the future.But be warned my friend. We have been there-fought the war -celebrated the independence and run our economy sucessfully for 18 years before the sanctions appeared.We have all sorts of degrees and with that i say tread carefully. Enjoy your game of golf with mcgee.

Its not only Home Affairs and Finance which is needed by MDC to steer this country from abyss. We need more key industries like Local Gvt , Foreign Affairs and Hogher Education and Terciary. I hope MDC will not be quick to agree just for the sake of agreeing. I know Mutambara is frustrated because he is reaping were he did not saw and all he wants is to be in the driving seat no matter how battered the vehicle is. This time we need a better deal to impleament the flawed deal signed

If baboon thinks he has all the answers then he must cancell the deal and go ahead and fix the country.
The problem with that baboon is that he has no answers on how to repair the country.He only knows how to fcuk things up.He is the best at fcuking things up, just look at what he has done to Zimbabwe for evidence.

I have lived all my life from Rhodesia to Zimbabwe ruins. I have watched the baboon destroy my home along with his monkey government.They are the only ones to blame.Zimbabwes problem is baboon.Remove this baboon and his monkeys and Zimbabwe will come right.They have bled this country dry.If you want to see how this baboon lives while the people of Zimbabwe are dying just go and have a look at his reidence with its private airport south east of Mazoe dam.If you have google earth i will be happy to give you the coordinates.He has no interest in the people of this country.I wish the most painfull death upon this baboon and his monkeys.The devil is waiting for him.

now this guy called baba is just foolish. He has exibited signs of a lack of education like him ugly president morgan.someone jut said mdc should be given all key ministries including education..hahahahaha education !! your president does not even have o levels and you expect anything from that lot.They fail to negotiate with all the provisions of five star hotels in south africa-and yet you expect them to perform under pressure without enough resources…imi vanhu imi.ta**** nenzara but lets not lose our senses.The only way forward for now is for all the parties to work as one.I wish the other contestants who lost the election could also be included to make it even more democratic as they were not represented in the talks.
You may cry now for mdc to have all these ministries but these guys have no known experience of running anything successful. The easiest part is being in opposition. When the job starts cracks will open up and those Americans will not be around to help.They will only be helping themselves by looting our resources while we blame morgan for failing.This war is a different type of war we are fighting today.There are no guns involved as they know we have degrees there. We have to quickly adjust our mentality within zanu pf to deal with the new warfare…it is led by the media, Aid Agencies, Puppets representing foreign agents, constant propaganda, interfering embassies, assylum deals to make our country look bad-food aid supplied through the mdc to make them look like the people’s party.Hondo yakapenga guys but i know we can adjust and meet it head on.We will never lose a fight in our backyard and let that be known to the MDC.They may laugh and sleep and play golf with the enemy now but things will take a turn soon .
In my view all the people who believed in our liberation struggle should wise up and not let these foreign agents ruin our independence while they recieve food aid.We did not fight the war in order to get food aid. The only way forward is for us to be self sufficient like we were before the sanctions were imposed.Remove the sanctions and then see us get on with our lives.Thats all we need.But before that happens they want to make sure that we are ready to be looted by demanding we do this and that -free market economy my arse-change the indeginisation laws etc. That is all they want morgan to do by demanding all these so called key ministries.If morgan is not in a position to make these changes then the sanctions will remain in place.
I say to bob today-we have come a long way into being self sufficient. Today we are poor but we know why. We are also to blame but that is not reason we are in his predicament .We will be rich in the future as a rsult of the changes you have made and the bold decisions you have taken.We are not shot sighted as we are able to look into the future. Our children will be trully empowered by your vision and please dont give up until the struggle is won.Dont let morgan mess up our empowermentand indeginisation program to please his masters . I am prepared to die for the cause.Some people did not go to war or get educated but that was by choice. we chose to fight for our rights-rights to land , access to resources and to be empowered and freedom to do whatever we want in our own country without interference.
Now today we hear people like Mcgee becoming spokespersons for the MDC yet they belong elsewhere. This scenario is not acceptable.Should this interference continue then some of us will take the law into our own hands. Morgan is not negotaiting in good faith. His agenda is that of The united states and britain -to get mugabe out at all costs. Well tell you what so many are dying everyday while you look for the perfect deal that will eliminate mugabe. If morgan had signed a deal he was happy with even though as mcgee said yesterday-it was a deal full of gaps, why then does he not fight for the removal of sanctions? He signed the deal and now he is being a nuisance and refusing to negotiate in good faith. Nothing was mentioned in the initial deal about allocation of ministries , so what makes the mdc think they can now demand crtain ministries?
I want peace but not at all costs. No peace is better than **** peace.lets not be ****ed again by these pigs.Sometimes i think our lives are better off with morgan in the box.
