The Zimbabwean government delivered a passport and a letter to Morgan Tsvangirai on Christmas
Day in what looks like a major concession from the Mugabe’s regime under pressure from SADC. Tsvangirai’s Press Secretary George Sibotshiwe confirmed.
After months of withholding issuing Tsvangirai with a new passport the government delivered the travel
document to the President of the Movement for Democratic Change together with a letter from President Robert Mugabe inviting him to be sworn as Prime Minister on the first week of January.
Mugabe’s letter to Tsvangirai was hand-delivered by South African High Commissioner to Botswana
Milo Moopeloa.
The issuance of the passport followes the appearance in a court on Wednesday of Zimbabwe Peace Project Director Jestina Mukoko and activists who had been abducted by suspected state security agents.
Tsvangirai one week ago issued an ultimatum demanding the release of MDC and civic activists abducted since October, failing which he would ask his party’s national council to vote to sever negotiations with ZANU-PF.
Passport is nothing, Mugabe has no respect of the rule of law therefore, if Tsvangirai comes back,he will be arrested under some unknown charges. What need to be done is the release of all abducted persons including Ms. Mukoko and Mudzingwa. If this is not done by Jan. 01/09 Mugabe can kiss inclusive government good bye. NO TURNING BACK.

Why don’t they get Mugabe a passport too so he can get the hell out? Maybe to China or something.
Now that he got what he wanted – passport, invitation to join mugabe mafia and the detainees have appeared in court, is he going to be man enough and do what he promised to do – to go home and be with the suffering masses? See him springing up another excuse!! What say him now?Chematama you are zero intelligence, political clueless, you are an opportunist – go home like you promised and mugabe will swallow you. You want to join zanu in disguise – enda kwenyu ku-zanu teaboy. We are sick and tired of your excuses. Go and fight in your own turf, your own country, not to hide in neighboring countries.
CHENJERA TSWANGIRAYI PASPORT IYI WILL TAKE YOU TO HEROS ACE SO BEWARE SOON TOYIMBA NDOYANA DHOYANA AYIII USDERERE ZANU NAMUGABE
KO PERENCE SHIRI HASATI AFA YERE???
There is absolutely no reason what so ever for MT to join the fake GNU.Zanu lost election in March 2009 & therefore they should go in a junior partner, if not –regai Vatonge tione. I commend the USA & British Government for withdrawing support for GNU for as long it is led by RGM.RGM has shown a remarkable degree of corruption & incompetence & Zim will never recover with him in charge for the simple reason he has no clue what makes an economy work. He believes in voodoo economics 7 there is point putting money so the RGM & gang can do what they know best –looting
Iwe usatambise zita regamba yenyika Josiah Tongogara uchitaura **** yako iyo wanzwa!!Newewo unozviti Nzenza dzevanhu-nhubu tibvire apo!Why dont you two shut up and give us a break?You dont even know that having a passport just like birthcertificate nechitupa are basic rights a citizen should enjoy freely in a country!That Mugabe decided to play politics with Tsvangirai’s passport only exposes the narrowness of his thinking and how cruel he is.Now one wonders how this cruelty can be translated into intelligence by Tongogara and Nzenza?That Mugabe acquired countless of useless degrees when he was in Smith’s gaols is not in dispute.What is in dispute is the opinion that Mugabe is intelligent.It is in dispute because intelligent people do not rape,kill,tourture,abduct and starve the people they lead.Why do we have all these shortages of food,money,medicine,water and all forms of energy and fuels in Zimbabwe if Mugabe was intelligent?In Zimbabwe,courtesy of Mugabe, we have;world highest inflation,world lowest life expectancy and a total disregard of rule of law.We then wonder how all these bad things can be called the results of Mugabe’s intelligence! Seiko vanhu imimi muchipururidza nekuomberera benzi(Mugabe)richipisa musha(Zimbabwe)?Give Tsvangirai a chance to lead the country before we judge him.What matters to Zimbabweans is not the chain of degrees one has but one’s leadership abilities and how they can improve the peoples’ standard of living.Mugabe unfortunately does not exhibit a single leadership quality.Tsvangirai instead has shown great leadership qualities already.The fact that his MDC is a non violent party speaks volumes of Tsvangirai’s leadership skills.The MDC agenda is people centred unlike that of Mugabe.
Finally,it is up to the MDC and Tsvangirai to decide when it is safe for him to come back like any other important decisions they have been making on behalf of the people in the past.During the liberation struggle Mugabe was in Mozambique and only came back when it was safe for him to do so.Tsvangirai will do the same.
The 19th amendment creating the position of primeminister is not yet law yet RGM is now inviting MT to form a govt.I smell a rat.Who gave these two the mandate to do what they want with us.SADC?This passport deal will not solve our problems.Morgan should be careful not to sell the people of Zimbabwe for a few passport pages.For as long ZANU(PF) continues to disregard human rights this “deal” will not work.To Tsvangirai I say keep your passport the conditions are not yet ripe for you to come.There people who have disappeared and are still to be accounted for.Some are in jail, women have been raped and thousand are being intimidated by the murderous ZANU(PF) bunch.These guys are dangerous, They can even kill their own. Study their history from 1963.Tsvangirai stay put!
MEMORISING HISTORY UNTIL YOU GET PHD LIKE SATAN MUDENGE DOES NOT MEAN YOU ARE EDUCATED.
WHAT IS IMPORTANT TO BE ABLE TO APPLY WHATEVER kNOWLEDGE YOU ACQUIRE.
JONATHAN MOYO (PHD) WHOSE FATHER WAS KILLED BY ROBERT MUGABE’S FIFTH BRIGADE WORKED TIRELESSELY TO SAVE THE VERY SAME MAN WHO BLEW HIS FATHER’S BRAINS OFF. YOU SEE WHERE WAS THE MOTIVATION COMING FROM. By the way Jacob Zuma taught himself to read and write,the President of Namibia was a miner but they are no abductions or murders of political opponents. So why Zim? with a President and his Ministers who have several degrees from top European Universities show no creativity or solutions to the country’s problems except thuggery. what happened to the saying ‘Ita semunhu akafunda’The President’s language these days is so vulgar you cant tell the difference from that of two dollar whore.
By the way some say Tsvangirayi should not seek help from the West.How naive can one be.Do you expect him to go to KIM JONG IL Or FIDEL CAstro and ask for help.Poppy**** a load of rubbish I say.Does Mugabe fight elections using money from his own savings ?
A Passport for the MDC President was long overdue, and a non – event. ZANU should nor expect to use Passport issuance to Morgiza to woodwink him and the MDC to accept a cosmetic Prime Ministerial position without control of key ministerial portifolios, equitable distribution of governorship positions and Diplomatic missions. Ko sei kuda kumhanyira kundo invita Morgan kuzoita Prime Minister, iwe RGM uchiziva kuti nyaya yese yakabhaja pamaMinisterial Portifolios. Unfortunately, it’s not gonna happen, you can go ahead neplan B, yako yekuita call for elections, but, if those elections donot have International observers and the UN, I am afraid the result will be similar to what happened this year. And we know you Matibili have perfected the art of killing and beating the electorate into submission.
A Prime minister can only BE a Prime Minister if he has the support of parliament.
The Parliament can’t act decicively on anything.
The Lower House holds an MDC majority, The Senate is 50/50 – Add in the Chiefs and you have a ZANU controlled Senate that will be likely to reject all legislation from the Assembly. The President won’t sign any MDC legislation into law – so what happens next ?
In other countries, where a hung parliament exists, a system of Joint Parliamentary Committees draws up compromise legislation, and this usually gains passage into law – but will either ZANU or MDC agree to this system ? Essentially neither party has any choice but to establish some legislative process and framework to get things moving again.
A Prime Minsister will find it “at least interesting” to operate in an environment where there exists an Executive President, which can put any good work by a PM into the waste basket.
The modern day President could take on the role of Officer Administering the Government, take a back seat role and the Prime Minister and Cabinet run the country.
Captain Morgan dont waste your time joining failures,thugs and vampires.you can read by the language of their supporters.Just like their leader they brag about having high education standards.if they are highly educated why is raw sewerage flowing in the streets,why is inflation the highest in the whole world.A country full of highly educated Zanu PF leaders.Their degrees are nothing but a piece of useless paper.
Why do you need Morgan without O levels as your prime minister when there are people with phds like the so called ‘josiah tongogara’.you dont need Morgan.
Morgan dont waste your time joining failures.Hey Mugabe form your own illegal govt mate.
This is not a “major concession” it is a completely fake concession. Zanu-PF created a totally unnecessary problem so they could pretend to be reasonable by removing it at a later date. Please don’t fall for this commonplace negotiating trick.
It never stops to amaze me how this government always shoots itself in the foot over petty issues.Why would they keep Tsvangirai’s passport in the first place,now they won’t release Jestina Mukoko and the other activists when they denied abducting them in the first place,now they will retain the white farmers,and cholera has been arrested yet SADC is trying to help with medical supplies.Its a circus.Who comes up with all these ideas anyway?
And Zanuites always argue that MT flip flops,now who flip flops more,no to white farmers and now they are saying they will retain some white farmers.Jestina Mukoko is not in our cells and now they bring her to court from their cells.At least MT flip flops because Zanu pf wants to trap him.He flip flops according to the situation.
I can’t believe this, THEY ARE PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY SUPPORT THAT MUGABE WICKED MAN JESUS CHRIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!THE WORLD IS DEFINATELY COMING TO AN END!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
can’t believe this, THEY ARE PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY SUPPORT THAT MUGABE WICKED MAN JESUS CHRIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!THE WORLD IS DEFINATELY COMING TO AN END!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-<
ZIMBABWEAN WE NEED TO PRAY FOR RESTORATION IN OUR COUNTRY, BY GODS GRACE WE CAN MAKE IT…
when is Mugabe Robert going to die? Lets all pray that he never gets to see the new year!
zanu pf are thugs.they have been able to ruin kumwe ku kwegura imi hamuoni kuti mukweguri uyu va pedo kuti siya.i i think i should take this as my project at college of one retards in mental capacity as he or she grows old.
Maybe MDC needs to think about this – that without them or their PM Designate, the constitution revision allowing for a split government executive will not work, and therefore there is no effective government at all. As it stands, legally, the present government is a Caretaker Government, with stand in ministers within the PM’s designated cabinet posts.
There are enough cabinet posts within the PM’s list to enable the country to get on its feet again, assuming Local Government is in the list as well, as MDC won most of the local council elections.
As much as it might be difficult, it is seriously worth consideration to the MDC and Morgan Tsvangirai that to formally re-enter the country, accept the Swearing In as Prime Minister – get his Cabinet into action and get things moving to do what he can iwithn the present politcal framework to get something done to fix the country.
In the mean time, Robert Mugabe should bite his tongue, and let his new Prime Minister do the job he assigned to perform and co-operate.
Just that to get things done, the PM will need the police, some assistance from the security forces and to work the international circuit – all these areas are however held by Mugabe’s Zanu-PF in the President’s Cabinet.
Somethimes its better to start with half than nothing – as that half can lead to better things.
Another thought for now – to sleep i go
Chaida kutora nyika asi chichitadza kutora passport. Ngachitibvire kumhepo.
