ZIMBABWE'S OWN KILLER

Whoever thought it a minor feat to successful evict the white farmers from the "grabbed land" was mistaken. It took Mugabe a series of chest poundings, posturing to the west not to mention a barraging war of words to accomplish. With all the spoils emanating from the forceful eviction, has every Zimbabwean to see. Sending the economy into a tailspin, making the once thriving food basket of the region resort to surviving on paltry stocks or even begging.

The inflation is rife with records unrivalled by any at the worst of times. The Zimbabwe reserve bank has had its latest addition of a whooping $Z1, 000,000, $Z5, 000,000 $Z10, 000 000 currency denominations. The near worthless papers have had to be introduced with an intention to avert the ongoing and yet to come worst cash crisis.

Mugabe has not faltered in face of immense pressure from the "imperialist domain" including Britain and Co, Several arguments by outsiders as to the cause of the fallout of the former friends siting failure of the British living to their promises of compensating the occupiers to leave the huge chunks of land, which up to the dawn of the crisis had not been put in place.

Whatever the arguments raised, none looks big enough to have sanctioned Mugabe act otherwise than clinging to power. The timing was just perfect for Mugabe just like many African sycophants jumping on the land bandwagon that looked the only avenue available for salvaging himself, branding any opponents to the forceful land grabs traitors and agents of the foreign devilish forces.

Iam not one of those who think alike and have only one assertion about the old man. Political greed as many and African leader have demonstrated themselves, even the brand new examples of state of the art leadership next door "God bless Mandela" could not make mugabe rethink his position. Mandela could have pounced on his oppressors who were still lying around for revenge Mugabe style, clung to power or even amassed fortunes rivaling the late Mobutu but that were not an option for him. The immense human suffering was at the epicenter of all his leadership afterall he had served time for the most part of quarter a century behind bars for that particular purpose.

Its grossly inhumane for all African leaders to sit around looking at mugabe as their own for the sins he's committed are unforgivable, the same African leaders I don't want to mention by name for fear of reprisals, have looked and not rebuked Kibaki on his stern stand after openly rigging the election. What credibility can stealing an election bring?

All the wars in Africa are attributed to such bad leaders and tensions build up to a point that opposition armed or otherwise is inevitable. For how long will this continue unabated.
