Has Africa gone mad?

the worst of it is that the truth of the things is not shown to the world. i see things every day that i have never seen being reported out of south africa. we want to get out of here as things are turning out the same here as in zimbabwe. white farmers are being chased off their farms or killed. there are so much more things that i cant even mention here.

i said most. not all. and i doubt if zuma would do anything. the anc is passive in most aspects of government.

In Mugabe's mind, everything is a racist conspiracy against him and his apparent devine right to be president for life. I think he's decided that the model he wants to emulate is Kim il Sung in North Korea who was made President for All Eternity. Mugabe is actually an example of what staying too long in power can do to the brain. At one stage Mugabe and Zanupf were held in the same light that Nelson Mandela and the team at the ANC were held in. But I think Nelson had the wisdom to step down as President and retire to the back ground. In that respect, Nelson Mandela makes himself a hero by not only leading the struggle against Arpathied but also knowing when to quite and hand over to someone else. Africa, sad to say, has been the prime example of how mankind has ruined all of nature's gift. The entire continent has had a history of lousy rullers who have plundered the place. I think the main caricature that comes to mind is Mobutu in Zaire (now Congo), but there were others - Idi Amin is Uganda, Samuel Doe and Charles Taylor from Liberia and Sani Abacha from Nigeria. Actually, the biggest dissapointment in this whole Zimbabwe story is Thabo Mbeki, South Africa's President. The man is supposed to be a decent leader of Southern Africa's most prominent power. He, of all the people had the power to put Mugabe in his place. And yet, he's done nothing short of keeping Mugabe where he is. Seriously, if he wants to solve his refugee problem, he should put the right pressures on Mugabe and ensure Zimbabwe gets a decent government, which would encourage Zimbabwians to go home rather than hide out in South Africa. What's particularly disgraceful here is that when South Africa was under Arpathied, they manage to force Ian Smith of Rodhesia into giving up power. Now, South Africa's black rullers are failing where they're morally dubious prdecessors did not - not exactly a shinning example is it?

and the laziest thing they do is, if something goes wrong, blame the whites. lmao. i listened to a speech of mugabe a while back. he made everyone jump with joy when he said he fights colonialism every day for them. wtf... senile and stupid.

i think there is a conspiracy theory in the big picture. the story goes that some racists want to cripple african countries, making them weak and easy to be governed by another power. one by one forming one big african country. they already named it azania.... i have also wondered why he is still alive.

the problem isnt him alone. he will leave behind a corrupt rich government, a poor and useless country with almost all infrastructure destroyed. sa isnt far behind. mbeki likes mugabe too much.

you do have a point there but the truth is that mbeki may like mugabe for his own personal reasons but no man can fool others for life besides even mugabe knows that he is only living in a cubicle of his own world but soon the whole world shall smile and ridicule him i am just sorry for the poor people who have to bear the brunt and pains of his ruthlessness but it shall not be long again

its sickening, isnt it? i pray for the innocents.
