Zimbabwe accuses Botswana of training MDC militia

President Robert Mugabe’s government has accused Botswana of interference and that it was training youths from opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai’s MDC party to destabilise Zimbabwe, in a dangerous twist to a diplomatic row between the two neighbours.

Jeff Ramsay, press secretary to Botswana President Ian Khama said in a statement that Zimbabwe made the charges at an extraordinary meeting of regional security ministers in Mozambique on Wednesday.

Gaborone denied the charges and immediately asked the inter-state defence and security committee of the regional SADC grouping’s Organ on Politics, Defence and Security Troika as well as the Zimbabwean government to undertake a fact-finding mission to Botswana to probe the allegations, according to Ramsay.

Ramsay said: “The Government of Zimbabwe alleged that Botswana has been training MDC–Tsvangirai (MDC-T) youths to destabilise Zimbabwe since 2002.

“The Government of Botswana dismissed the Zimbabwean allegation as false, baseless, and completely unfounded. The Government of Botswana further requested that the Government of Zimbabwe provides documented evidence on the allegations.

“In this regard, the Government of Botswana invited the Organ Troika, together with the Government of Zimbabwe, to undertake a fact-finding mission to Botswana at their earliest opportunity. The Troika accepted the invitation.

“For its part, the Organ Troika required that the Government of Zimbabwe provide it with documented evidence, which would be availed to the Government of Botswana.”

Ramsay said Gaborone had also pointed out that the Botswana-Zimbabwe Joint Permanent Commission on Defence and Security has met 25 times, during which Harare had never raised the allegations it was now making.

Zimbabwe Defence Minister Sydney Sekeramayi and Information Minister as well as government spokesman Sikhanyiso Ndlovu were not immediately available for comment on the matter.

Relations between Zimbabwe and Botswana have been strained in recent years chiefly because of Gaborone’s outspoken criticism of Mugabe’s controversial rule.

The two southern African countries that share a long frontier between them clashed this week after Khama told Botswana’s parliament on Monday that a fresh vote was the only way out of the deadlock that threatens to derail a power-sharing deal between Mugabe and Tsvangirai.

Zimbabwe angrily reacted to Khama’s call for fresh elections saying it was unwarranted interference in its internal affairs and amounted to “extreme provocation”.

Mugabe’s government accused Khama of trying to “pick a quarrel with Zimbabwe” and said the Botswana leader had spoken based on false information supplied to him by Tsvangirai.

Zimbabwe also vowed that it would get to the bottom of the matter to find out the motivation behind what it described as an “unholy alliance” between Khama and Tsvangirai.

Khama, just like late Zambian President Levy Mwanawasa who was also a critic of Mugabe, has openly embraced Tsvangirai.

The diplomatic row between Harare and Gaborone comes as the SADC prepares to hold an emergency summit on Sunday to try to coax Mugabe and Tsvangirai to reach agreement on the composition of a new unity government.

Mugabe, Tsvangirai and another opposition leader Arthur Mutambara agreed to form an all-inclusive government under a September 15 power-sharing deal that retains Mugabe as president while making Tsvangirai prime minister and Mutambara deputy prime minister.

Analysts see such a power-sharing government as the first step to ending decade-long food shortages and economic crisis in Zimbabwe. But six weeks after agreeing to share power political leaders are yet to form a unity government because they cannot agree on should control the most powerful ministries.

    Oh My Goodness. that old crow is up to his old tricks again. Tyring to divert attention from his gross failure at governing such a small country. For goodness sake, this is just another fineexample of his age related senile ramblings and Gukurahundi driven paranoia.

  2. Marufu says:

    Zanu is like a father who when the kids ask for food , he instead starts shouting about a neighbor who nearly took away their mother when they were young! Stupid allegations!

  3. Divha says:

    I wish Khama would train an army to kick Bob out. I wouldn’t be surprised if soldiers from the ZNA join this bunch, even from the presidential guard will find this unit more attractive than the ZNA. It’s time to get rough with Bob and we shall see who still stands in his corner.

    its been a long time coming-but because of what you have done today , in this very defining moment , change has come to zimbabwe.This is what the mdc commander morgan tsvangirai will be saying to his people after defeating my beloved zanu pf army…hahahahahahahaha -imagine a day when morgan will lead his botswana trained mdc special forces and invade zimbabwe? From a coward to a war general all in a matter of months.Has he been recieving arms training himself in botswana? Oh we are shaking in our boots..morgan is to be a dead war hero soon. Better go down fighting than die a coward. Remember scarface has been polishing his special bullet for morgan ever since that zhing zhong delivery.This new development is what i have been waiting for for some time. Bring it on.At least at the end of it there will only be one winner and nothing to share.

    mugabe is spoiling the elections of America, he congradulated Obama and promised to work closely with Obama and mend relations with the United States of America. Please dictactor murderer leave Obama alone he is such a perfect leader and has confirmed that he wants nothing to do with leaders who do not respect human rights. I was very saddened to hear that mugabe has guts to congradulate Obama what a low. zanu pf is desperate now they are trying everything to take people off track of the real issue, now its Botswana training MDC youth, how low can you stoop. Stop wasting our time zanu we will defeat you on sunday and you can go to hell and burn for all the sins you committed, you murderers and corrupt zanu idiots.

  6. Babson says:

    Yes we can was the motto for Obama we can change the world and that meant Obama stands for change, Obama is 47 years old and mugabe is 84 years old what can that old man talk with Obama nothing at all. If mugabe cannot feel the pressure now then he can be our president for life till death do us part. Vakomana admit that truth its time for change America has set the pace and it should be the same in Africa, Obama has proved that anything is possible and for sure its possible to remove mugabe from power. It will be good for Zimbabwe’s rebuilding of the economy to change leadership. Republicans are gone, Mcain and Bush accepted defeat and are preparing for a smooth transition. How come mugabe couldn’t do that after the March elections. Why did we have to wait for donkey months for zanu to manipulate the election results when Thabo had beat zanu at their own game by publishing the results at the election site, having tallied those results Morgan had the majority to topple mugabe, but the almighty mugabe doesn’t want to leave power so that zanu can continue to oppress Zimbabweans and loot funds from the government coffers. Shame on you mugabe and zanu supporters.

  7. muran chaka says:

    SCARFACE…don’t you think MT has been a genius from the day he left the l”iberation war” front in the 70s.He realised,he didn’t have to die so that Mugabe would rule forever.What did all those freedom fighter die for.Only if they knew.

    And Zanu Pf should continue provocing Botswana,and declare war .We wait to see who will win.

  8. scarface says:

    Dont tell me botswana and its boy scouts will last a day with our militia. They will have to call in the United states for support something morgan would be pleased about since he has always been a coward who refused to fight the chimurenga war choosing instead to serve tea in the mines. This guy if he was in america would not be allowed to even serve tea to americans because they do not like cowards who are not prepared to make sacrifices for the good of nation…get it country first!!!! morgan igwara and thats undisputable.

    now vana zuma are short of coming out and telling us all that they want mdc to get the homeaffairs ministry.Umchini wami -his problems will start next year so lets wait and see. All i can say is wish you well mr zuma.I want peace in zim like evryone else but the zimbabwe leaders must find a workable solution themselves . Anything that is forced on the people by outsiders will not last. We will end up like rwanda and congo and sudan.

    Zambia just finished their elections and no one interferred and therefore the whole process took two days. Americans with a larger population have just finished their too without outsiders interferring and look at the results. In zambia the opposition cried they had been cheated , but did anyone listen? Why is that? Why are they ignoring the opposition that is clearly looking for a few answers to theri questions? Democracy my ****ing arse. When it comes to zimbabwe everyone wants to get involved partly because the MDC-mentally deluded by colonialists is a product of the british and morgan is a puppet and a coward who does not fight his own battles.He wants other people to fight for him and at what cost to this great nation? He went around the world campaigning for sanctions and got them.This man is not suitable for the job of running our country , only as a tea boy.

    Now you watch the media tarnish Obama’s image .Let the man do his job. Dont show us these images of kenyans running around celebrating this and that. Obama is American and let him enjoy his presidency as an American citizen that he is. If at all let us see how black americans feel about this new devlopment. Kenya is a long way from America.So please stop this nonsense of going into the rural areas of kenya. Obama has Kenyan roots and he does not hide it.America is a divided nation just like zimbabwe.We know how the other half of America feel about having a black president. So by showing all these images from kenya you are only building up their fury. Allow them to work together without causing divisions. Yes he is black and he is the ****ing president of the USA..you dig ? He did what we all thought was impossible.He is educated and bight and knows his stuff. How i wish we had such opposition in zimbabwe!!!!

    Let zimbabwe breath -allow Obama to rule as an American and not a black president.Stop this nonsense from kenya. Concentrate on what is happening on America. Scarface always tells it like it is…**** morgan uneducated tsvangirai-tea boy and famous coward.

  9. Babson says:

    Scarface you tell it like it is and you twist the truth, Obama has Kenyan roots and how will that spoil things for him in his leadership? He is proud to have those roots, let the media show that and for your own information they are planning to build an international airport in the town where the step grandmother stays. I see you like Obama so much and you think he will support zanu, you can forget that; Obama will never support oppressors.

    wether the zim gvt is rite or wrong does nt matter,we just want 2 find areason 2 pick a fight with these tswanas.wat they r doing or saying is pure provocationthat we have bn quiet about.they r lk anotha georgia that is wrongly backing on untested comradorship.vabvira kare vachiti denha.on every wednesday on their stupid station they have wat they kol voices from within whereby anti zim is agitated and promoted,where they bring in anti-zim sentiments on air,they r lk all these shortwave radios bming in our country to spread sentiments.marethe akhama.who do they think they r,we have neva interfered in hw they run their kangaroo courts and elections.he seys we must have elections at whoz expense.nw he has borrowed the puppet his jet.fu khama.just lk this rapist here in sa making pronouncements about our issues who the hell r u.there is this misconception that all zim is mdc country .some of us r true partriots for zim ,its either death or motherland.

  11. scarface says:

    babson – we dont want obama ..you can have him. you obviosly have a shallow mind and cant understand why they keep showing these kenyan images and blabbing on about his roots.Do you realise America is divided just like zimbabwe. Mugabe won the popular vote unlike Mccain but at 48% and 51. it shows America is polarised.Ther are those who dont like Obama bcause he is of a kenyan background, some because he is mixed race, some because he is black, some because his middle name is hussein, some simply racists who will never change, some because they dont think he does enough for black americans, some because he manged to do what real Black Americans like Mcgee failed to do. All these issues bring up a lot o tension on the new leader president of America.

    One issue we should remember is Obama is American ..Thats where he pays his taxes not Kenya. Let Americans have a moment to themselves so they can deal with this new scenario which they never thought possible. It is now reality and for some they are still in shock . So if you keep adding gas to the fire things might get out of hand. We have always known Obama is kenyan origin and also american. But he is american and nothing else.He has performed well and we should congradulate him. He is educated, articulate, full of life and has a warm smile that toched hearts and minds of most Americans and the outside world. Europe is still trying to deal with the fact that America now has a new president and he is not white. They never saw it coming. I just hope he gets the protection he needs and gets on with the job of turning around the economy of America.

    The credit cruch has proved that even a learpard can change its spots. For white America to vote on policies and forget about the colour of someone’s skin is comendable and an example to the whole world.nzara yarova zvedi. We have been under sanctions and most some zanu pf supporters changed their spots and voted for mdc just because they are hungry.That is the reason the sanctions were imposed in the first place, to effect regime change..the only problem is they failed to understand that once zanu pf always zanu pf.It is a party that has come a long way and will never vanish from the history of zimbabwe.Zanu pf is here to stay no matter who gets what ministries.

    Obama i wish you well and it is up to you how you want to deal with zimbabwe. You can choose to follow bush or start afresh.As the new president of the united states , you have that decision to make. Tony blair like you had this same oppotunity but he took the wrong turn. That is why we are still stuck today. But i know you will make the right choices…yes you can.

    obama kuita seiko imi.taurai zvekanyika kenyu kanotongwa nasabhuku asinganzwisisi kuti kuuraya munhu imhosva

  13. So if Botswana is training MDC militias what are they going to do about it? Invade Botswana?

  14. muran chaka says:

    Scarface,do you need a rocket scientist to show you that Zanu pf is disintergrating.After Mugabe there is nomore Zanu pf to talk of.Look at the Zanu Pf of 1980 and compare with the Zanu Pf of 2008.If this unity gvt takes place an elecion can be called for within 18mnths and guess ,I guess you know what that means for Zanu pf.Mugabe is just postponing his downfall in the hope that he dies.

    Obama was elected because of the failure by Bush on the economy and foreign policy,likewise Zimbabweans voted for MT because of Mugabe ‘failure to curb sanctions.Zimbabweans voted for a person who has the power to have the sanctions removed

  15. Babson says:

    You can convince yourself that zanu if going nowhere the truth of the matter is zanu is dead, one thing you never were good at was grooming a leaderto take over from sekuru. Who will take over from your 84 year old leader? I am sure another old leader from the old school, really you are not a party for the future and for the youth. You alway a** licked mugabe for a long time and were scared to tell him its time up. Nicol and Scarface are talking of outside interference, what is it that zanu will be doing in South Africa on Sunday if they do not want outside interference. Your leader mugabe is coming over to Sandton because he cannot do anything without outside interference. Your party lacked vision because you had so much respect of mugabe, I don’t know whether you never thougth that the man is ageing. You should have kept Makoni and he could have taken over and zanu could have attracted the youth (educated). The only youth that support mugabe now are the militias given beer to go and brutalize innocent civilians, I don’t consider them youth, they are the real puppets. zanu dug its downfall and may you rest in peace and “reave” us alone as goerge charamba told the world in Egypt not so long ago. Scarface I must admit you are die hard zanu supporter so we will reave you alone as well.

  16. smooth face says:

    As a former soldier,I will join any Movement that seeks to fight Zanu.

  17. scarface says:

    wana smoothface-ndimi madzakutsaku. what former soldier ? you are not a gandanga -shut it. morgan i**** ra khama.Thats why on his way to south Africa he took a quick trip to botswana. If he uses up all his pages in his temporary travel permit then acha**** futi. Why quick trip to botswana when you will be seeing khama on sunday…****….

    Now for the other chap telling us that morgan campaigned for sanctions and he is the only one who can unlock them-you are a fool. Urimwana we ****.We are suffering because your puppet leader wants us to suffer until he becomes president. You know what , he might be six feet under before that change.Kutengesa nyika here nekuda kupa ma british nyika.Kushata kunge emergency tax isina road tax.You bloody sell out. ..puppet.mentally deluded by colonialists.

  18. Babson says:

    How does Morgan’s trip worry you zanu pf supporters, whether he goes via Mozambique , UK or Mars that is none of your business, you should be worried by your party that we will crush tomorrow at the summit. The world is tired of zanu’s propaganda, you used to fool us a long time ago and that is how you swallowed Zapu. This time we are so woken up and our eyes are so open we will never give in to Zanu’s short sightedness. I asked you why did you not groom a leader to take over from mugabe, zanu is not attractive to young people in Zimbabwe and this means it is not a party for the future. For the sake of re-building Zimbabwe mugabe has got to go, no sane person can continue to support an oppressor murderer like mugabe. Its time up Zanu, I am sure on Monday we shall be debating on another level on this forum ladies and gentlemen. (Zimbabwe will be colonised again next week ha ha ah you fools of zanu how can we be colonised again) Zim is moving forward without this liberation movement, we have thanked you enough retire and Reave us alone.

  19. How can we even talk of working with Obama, when we are not on parr with the demacratic process.We rig, kill, and sabotage our electorate and then expect the rest of the world watching to endorse our so called legitimacy. The tragedy that is Africa, you cannot put Zimbabwe in the same sentence as Obama, It has a perfect match in the DRC. If you were name dropping, you say ,Idi Amin,Kamuzu Banda,Arap moi,etc.Its not too late to change, change for the sake of Zimbabwe.

  20. Moxie says:

    Scareface & Nicol,you are fools just like you leader Mugabe.Here in Bots.,we’re good people…but we hate fools like you.Talk nonsense like that directly to any Motswana guy and we’ll discipline you mother@#%*!rs.You fools think with your @$$ and talk with your @$$holes.

  25. Moxie says:

    Let me tell you something Nicol,we built Botswana from nothing…while Zimbabwe and South Africa were built by white people.Now in Zimabawe Mugabe is stealing from white people and giving to few black people what is not theirs while the majority stays very poor and hungry.The same stealing goes on in South Africa through BEE(Black Economic Empowerment)…where a few black guys are now billionares while the majority of black people there stay in shacks but less hungry than Zimbabweans though.Where do you think those xenophobic attacks in South Africa were from..they are from hungry people my african brother.Here in Botswana we respect property rights,and we try to earn our monies…stealing is illegal here.

  26. Moxie says:

    little mugabe,what the hell are you doing in UK…you ran away from hunger in Zimbabwe and still call yourself mugabe.You ruined the economy of that country you jacka$$,but the way people know Zimbabwe because of high inflation,bad governance and hungry people,not because you are special.You’re just another starving african country to them…and they want to help you so that they can feel good about themslves,nothing else brother…live and learn.I live and work overseas now,but i can go back home anytime of the day with no worries.

  27. NICOL says:

    of course moxie shows the arrogance that is batswana bt i have bn 2 botswana and u must experience the way they treat zims from the border post ,where u find those immigiration assholes with nothing to show for the sokold prosperity of botswana treating us lk dirty just bcoz we have zim passports.they have this myth that they also r beta than us zims coz they r just tswanas nothing else nt knowing that some of us zims employ their mothers ,fathers e.t.c in our own black owned businesses in their country,some zim even screw their sistas just watch big brother africa 3 where munyaradzi is screwing tawana a gal from bots live on tv beeming into the who of africa.this scerwing of tawana is not bing done by munya only but by all these foreignors taking yo diamonds paying yo pple pittance.just bcoz of u shouting property rights.whose property,how did they get that property,land ,while it was 4 tswanas b4.of course khama is listening to the great intelligence officer from zim ,tsvangirai,who predicted his assasination,who rain away from the struggle,a man with a big head full of how he can pawn our country and its resources back to the conglomerates.he is telling khama our soldiers r nt payed ,r nw useless,bt if the interahamwe cn wage a war with their ragtag arm ,konny cn sustain a war,with his guards hw about zim with a regular arm.he seys our army does not have equipment bt equipment does nd manpower ,we have,u wil b surprised that we will end up having more equipment thatn the tswanas after capturing their guards and using their equipment on then.sa bought lots and expensive equipment bt tell u wat cn not wage a war .lack of trained man to mann them,technicians,engineers e,t.c.we have them,im a techician so r lots of partiotic zims.all im saying this khama of yoz is leading u into a ditch,he is playing big man poker while he is still wet btwn the ears.luk in bots all this stupid laws he is enacting lk burning beer bvcoz his father was addicted 2 the bottle without consultation,hw is botswana breweries going to survive,nigtclubs,bars.does he think of the batswanas who have bn feeding families from that.nw he wants 2 piece us off.back off u mixed identity fool.

  28. Babson says:

    I think we need to leave Botswana alone and concetrate on hungry zimbabweans, Khama is right to say his view on Zimbabwe as this is a regional problem. If it wasn’t for mugabe clinging to power the Tswana’s wouldn’t be treating us like dirt at the border post. Let’s sort our problems and feed our nation’s, millions are dying of hunger because of arrogance of zanu pf. Today might be a historic day and zanu can be crushed and we re-build our country. zanu supporters are very bitter people they believe in violence, forcing their ideas on people, murder etc I am not suprised at the insults and the manner in which the African brother from Botswana is being attacked. We don’t have to go there, let Tswana’s prosper in their own way and Zimbabwe neeeds to find a way of resolving problems to re-build the economy. Zimbabwe is not an island they will always be outside influence as long as we are part of SADC, AU, UN.

    yes baba i am nt educated for i am only in possession of a diploma in electronics servicing from city & guilds of london and also four distinctions and 3 bs at o-level from cambridge.and majored in microprocessor based computer systems.i blame mugabe for achieving all this.i wish u r genorous enafu so u cn take me to harvest house so i cn learn to make tea and al the manners of pleasing my white bosses 2 b.so i cn emulate yo great leader tsvangison.for tuition u cn donate some of the loot u have made in the diaspora cleaning old man and wemans back and front.beta still afta that u cn also take me to the diaspora and show me al the tricks on hw to clean an old womans ass to an extent that it wont itch for a year.u have the experience.pliz baabaa help me get educated.

  32. Babson says:

    Obama made Zviroto to come true, we can do it as well in Zimbabwe. People have been praying today in Hararae and the red cards flashed at mugabe at Sandton are a signal that victory is near. If mugabe and chinamasa cannot feel the pressure that they are not wanted, the region and international community will further isolate them and the economy will just jamm as it has collapsed already. Savimbi tomorrow we will be talking from another level zviroto will come true, YES WE CAN. mugabe must go.

  33. Moxie says:

    Nicol,your a moron..you know we live in a global world now.We cross boarders to other countries and we all get mistreat by immigration officers and some citizens of other countries sometimes…i know ’cause i’ve experienced it myself,but i dont **** on everyone like you.You need to apologise for insulting Botswana women,you bitter mother*****r…and not to sound like you ,i’ve had zimbabwean girlfriends and zimbabwean prostitutes-and i must say they are the cheapest out there.My advice,shut your hole,fix your economy,give the majority of poor zimbabweans still at home their dignity back and stop bragging about nothing…you’re dillusional.

  34. Baba says:

    NICOL.Did you get a degree in spelling you poor ignorant fool.

  35. Moyondizvo Dewa says:

    If I had my way, I would tell SADC this:

    1. That Mugabe and Zanupf are not sincere in these talks and just use SADC initiatives to prolong their stay in power. They want to find an excuse to scuttle the talks, hence the manufactured lies that Botswana is training MDC fighters.

    2. Mugabe and Zanupf are not gentlemen. SADC should not be cheated by seeing Mugabe and his people in suits and speak good English and make people that they are gentlemen. They are not. Mugabe and his people are thugs, murderers, thieves, and rapists. Online publications are replete with verifiable accounts in relation to the above allegations.

    3. The language that Zanupf and Mugabe understand is the language of war. Mugabe and JOC signed a pact of death, that they can only relinguish power over their dead bodies, so negotiation is TOTALY out of question. The solution therefore lies in two ways: 1. Collective military engagement through coalition of the willing. 2. Economic sanctions targeted at crippling financial machinery of Mugabe and JOC. Curtailing their freedom of movement through denial of visas, including those of their children.

    4. Mugabe and JOC strength lies in using coercive apparatus of the state: army, police and CIO/militia operatives. Stir disillusionment in these coercive apparatus so that Mugabe and JOC are stripped of their power base.

    5. Swiftly refer the matter to A.U., failure of which the UN Security Council should take over.

    It is only under extreme conditions to their interests that Zanupf diehards would capitulate. Remember Mugabe and his close associates have signed a DEATH PACT.

  36. scarface says:

    matswanas used to come to our country to get some education. We were always weary of them because the girls were too easy on the poosy. They opened their legs easily and that used to put me off.Thankfully i used condoms. But there are some zimbos who got aids because they liked poom poom too much. So tswana people as much as we are all brothers dont knock us at this hour of suffering. We gave you some of the best education you never had. We dont hate you but your leader must keep out of our struggle. Let our politisions sort our problems out without taking sides like you do.You are a member of Sadc and as such you should remain a neutral and that is not to say you do not support mdc. You can use sadc gatherings to air your opinions and not invite morgan to sleep in your bedroom. Is he gay? So **** off if you are gay..

    Zimbabwe is a country that is landlocked and complicated.If things go wrong for zanu pf , we will go down fighting and this fight might spill over into Botswana giving us the opportunity to loot your diamonds . We can also distabiles congo and then you will see how sadc will end up. It does not take much to cause all this neusance. But as long as there is no interference from outsiders ,zimbabwe will solve its problems with some dignity. Morgan relies too much on outside intervention and this does not bode well in a gvt of national unity.We already know he is a puppet party set up by the british to distabilise our country.It is this very reason that has led our president to say mdc will never ever be allowed to rule.One by one they will be killed even during the unity gvt. Even if they control the police, we know the structures and out tactics will isolate the police.They will need a huge budget to keep up with our neusance. We will never allow puppets freedon of our country. We will make them work for every penny.Morgan will give up the home affairs ministry within a year. People will complain that the police has failed and someone will be fired by the president.

    Saka mdc behave yourselves because getting home affairs does not mean jack ****. It is just a ploy we used to confuse you and stop you demanding other vital institutions.Now if you are given home affairs it will be seen as some victory for the mdc and the whole matter will be laid to rest.Then the real games will begin. Mdc leaders will vanish one by one.This is what we used to do during the war. Sell outs used to vanish from villages and mdc are puppets who deserve the same treatment if not worse…you fools. Zimbabwe is not a puppets country- we will never allow it.

    Simple minded Zanu thugs and their dirty mouths,you need to develop with time..that baboon call Mugabe has led for 28 years and look where Zimbabwe is right now;the same catagory as DRC,SUDAN,ANGOLA,MOZAMBIQUE-hopeless,poor african nations.Out of 14million,Mugabe still thinks he’s the only smart person to lead.Where’re all the educated Zimbos with degress and who gave Tswanas their best education..i guess they’re non-existant or cowards.You just make a lot of noise,but no substance..dont just talk,act and you’ll have my respect.Zanu thugs are making Zimbabwe a disgrace and a laughing stock of everyone…all over the world.
    Botswana president,Khama,has a right to respond the way he did to to avoid Zimabawe from taking us down with them..SADC members states should do the same and force this gorilla called Mugabe out and let MDC rule.After all,majority of Zims voted them in and thats what elections are for…respect that.

  41. Moxie says:

    mugabe,you’re a fool…dont make me wanna me curse you down,punch your ugly face,spit on you and kick your gut just to remind you that you’re the smaller and weaker man.Reality check;zimbabwe has a higher number of HIV infected people than your president mugabe has brainwashed you to believe…and to top that up,you dont have resource to do anything about,no medicine,no doctors,no nurse..and all you can do is talk s**t you idiot.Where the hell do you live anyway….sounds like you dont live on planet earth,you live in mugade ass..i guess somebody has to clean.

    First of all scarfarce you say mugabe said Morgan will never rule Zimbabwe, is it up to him to say or the electorate. The way you zanu pf are talking really shows that you are dertemined to stay in power even if it means ordinary zimbabwes start to eat dirt to survive. You have shown lack of political maturity and lack of leadership qualities. As I have mentioned zanu pf is not a party for the future. HIV rate is the highest in Zimbabwe as compared to other SADC countries. Our leaders Chinamasa, Goerge Charamba, Chihuri are all dashing to RSA for ARVs and you accuse Botswana of HIV look at your leadership first. MDC is concerned about the people and you are only concerned about power grabbing shame on you. We will pressure you out of power with all your tactics of wanting to kill us in the unity governmen, those tactics used to work in the late 80’s and 90’s not anymore. You cannot kill us like you killed Malunga and all other fallen heroes who fought for justice and democracy through funny accidents. Gone are those days we are not fools anymore, that is the reason mugabe left Harare yesterday to negotiate power sharing in Joburg becoz we have power as well. We will never rest till we crush zanu pf the party fo Gukurahundi (murderers).

  43. mugabe says:

    moxie you are a waste of space am not a man but i ve balls to shout at pple like you hiv tycoon. your country s dying of aids admit it or not ., read tswana papers and leave zimbabweans alone. this problem is our domestic issue we dont need tswanas to tell us what to do , why dont you go and hang yourself if this aids can not kill you , anywhere its killed your family already, you are a chimp you deserve to live in the woods, i live here in uk u can come and get me and i wont even run away cause am not scared of morons.

  44. Comrade says:

    the only disappointing thing is obviously this is untrue.disappointing because were it true it would match the violent nature of zimbabweans.despite what the world is made to believe zanu pf or not, zimbabweans are a barbaric violent lot generally.they beat up their wives as discipline.they beat up children in class as discipline.thhey solve monor arguements by fighting.a popular disc jockey can almost be killed by soldiers because he is wearing army -style pants.women (and i have witnessed this)get harrassed or beaten up for dressing inappropriately in public.a criminal caught by crowd has no chance,in most cases he gets rescued other than arrested by the police.criminals themselves represent the violent nature of zimbabweans .after robbing someone they still assault him and in most cases even kill.many times you hear of so and so was killled at a beer drink for stepping on someone else’s foot , or dancing to music requested by someone else(ugidelani ingoma yami).many young men will tell you how fast they have had to run because they are being chased by a girlfriend’s cousins or brothers.zimbos please this is 2008.stop blaming mugabe alone,stop the terror that you are so much perpetuating

    Scarface……………………… the problem here is that you are jealous, BITTER AND IGNORANT, I am a motswana and i do agree that Mugabe your president is the root of all evil in Zimbabwe. Of course Zimbabwe was weathier dan Bots, BT DAT ALL CHANGED when Mugabe because selfish of Zimbabwe. I do feel for our neighbors. God’s eyes is upon every single Zimbabwean, his Grace is suficient. Have hope that one day things are gonna change, not fall apart. GOD BLESS YOU GUYS.
