  What does Mbeki say? Does he still support the unelected dictator Mugabe?

  Scrote: "What does Mbeki say?"

  What can he say? He's trembling in fear. What you and the rest of the world don't realize is that Mbeki was in on the deal to crash the Zimbabwean economy. I've been sitting on the evidence since November 1997 and the press have ignored me. Mandela and a certain Asian country did Mugabe in for his intervention in the Congo. It cost South African and certain Asian entities a mint in cancelled sweet heart deal mining concessions in Katanga province. Mugabe is sitting on piles of smoking guns - pointing to Mbeki and all the SADC (Nigeria included) heads of state. No African leader will dare open his mouth against Mugabe since it is quite easy to prove that that leader took cash and other inducements between October 1997 and March 1998 when the coup plot against Bob was hatched. Mazda declined the 32 Million US it was offered to destroy Zimbabwe's economy. Call Mazda and they'll dig up the evidence for you. Mugabe is the only one telling the truth about the crisis. The so-called advocates for regime change in Zimbabwe are the culprits that created the monster Mugabe is said to be today. Call Edwina Gibbs of Rueters Tokyo - I phoned her no less than four times in 1997 to tip her off about the plot (at the time Japanese companies were being given cash inducements...). She told me, "Nobody would be interested in your story. Multi-nationals do coups in Africa all the time..." This one was different I said. The documents hand delivered to Mazda clearly stated that the objective was to cause such terrible economic hardships on the blacks that after "their beloved Mugabe failed to ease their suffering, they will rise up and overthrow him... you Mazda will have no blood on your hands. The people doing the coup will be the black ZImbabweans themselves. Mugabe has to go for his intervention in the COngo and for now talking about taxing tobacco production to raise funds for his army...". 18 months is all it'll take they said and " we have the total support of all white businesses and farmers in Zimbabwe. In fact as we speak the farmers have agreed to cease delivery of crops to the government collection points until Mugabe is gone. We are payng them for their support. And a new head of state has already been nominated out of Mugabes cabinet. They are all in with us. We have no problem with the government of Zimbabwe. It's just him - Mugabe, he's become to difficult for us to handle." sic

  Heck even the SUN balked at publishing. The world isn't as morally straight as it's pretending to be.

  sorry for the confussion. The farmers stopped crop delivery from October 1997. After waiting for a few months and realizing that there indeed was somethinf fishy going on Mugabe asked them to state their allegence - to Zimbabwe or to South Africa. They ran to London and called Peter Hain to talk to Mugabe. Mugabe then told them to lay down their ploughs. The war veerans who had been a constant thorn in Mugabe's side said, "We told you so. These farmers are traitors." And they started to invade the farms. I spent most of '83-'85 in a group that was responsible for beating the hell out of war veterans who were squatting on farms. Mugabe was not taking too kindly to their demands for any land. In 1997 -98 he gave the farmers the benefit of the doubt since many denied any knowledge of the Standard Bank document (I have the original newspaper article if you're interested. Nov. 2 1997 - even though the bank was calling it a mere coup scenario and should not be taken seriously the farmers were no longer applying for their annual Forex. And worse was that under Zimbabwean law (carried over from Rhodesia) commercial crop production was restricted to white farmers only. Mugabe had a major headache but the foreign media didn't seem to have a clue of what was being created. Add to that Peter Thatchel, Peter Hain and Claire Short and we have a disaster.

  What, you mean Jimmy Carter didn't monitor the election?

  Correct me if I'm mistaken, but isn't Jendayi Frazer half Zimbabwean? And wasn't her name Tendayi (Shona for "be grateful") a few years ago?
