Assassination plot unveiled in Zimbabwe

South Korea News.Net
Saturday 17th May, 2008

A reported plot against the life of Zimbabwe's opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai has postponed his return from Europe and South Africa where he had been in exile for a month.

Mr Tsvangirai had just completed a trip through Europe and was about to return to Zimbabwe to continue his election campaign.

Even though rumours of the plot have been widely circulated in Zimbabwe, Mr Tsvangirai's Movement for Democratic Change has dismissed the plot against the opposition leader's life as a likely fabrication, spread by the ruling ZANU-PF party.

On 27th June, Mr Tsvangirai is due to face President Robert Mugabe in the second round of the presidential elections.

The opposition leader won the first round in March but not by a big enough margin to secure an outright victory.

The upcoming elections are being overshadowed by intimidation and violence.

Who's pulling the puppet's string,not me

Tsvangiri at this crucial time went to europe for what. To take orders from his boss. Africa should be for africans. Not for western puppets. We call this kind of people traitors. Whoever wins I don’t gain,just puttng in my 2 cents worth of comments and I love bashing the west,they are the ones who stand to gain if their puppet wins.

too many puppets,too much bloodshed.

Tsvangirai is also an old man at fifty nine. Want real elections,let real young africans who have proven their mettle to stand for elections. Wake up,puppet regimes installed by the west will cause more bloodshed as have already been proven in afganistan and irag. Even if the puppet is installed as the president,so what,the fighting will still be going on. Whoever loves the west should know that whichever countries they meddle in there’s only bloodshed for the innocent people there.

puppet on a string

Tsvangirai had just completed a trip through europe at this time. How come Mugabe doesn’t go to europe,he’s still in s.africa. This clearly shows who is the puppet of the west.
Mugabe for Zimbabe,Tsvangirai for the west.

Boycott the Olympics

We now hear that the deadly cargo of arms has been clandestinely flown to Harare. This is after the Chinese had claimed they had recalled it. It is time to call for an international boycott of the Olympics

The only way they will ever get rid of Mugabe and his henchmen in Zimbabwe is to use his own methods against him! Every one knows Mugabe wasn’t going to go if he was voted out, and he never will!!!! For a good cause his hurried demise and those close to him is justified! All for a free and democratic Zimbabwe

Flooding Zim June 27-The Plan

What we have seen from March 29 is that Zanu-Pf does not rig elections,at least not enough to win.Its more to do with MDC support who do not vote in polls,more than 4 million are out of the country right now and less than 20% of them voted March 29.Surely if half of them voted the situation would be different.June 27 let all of us be there.MDC must stage rallies in Botswana,South Africa,Zambia and Namibia to encourage people to cross to vote.Those in the West can organise some cash to send to friends in SADC who can sponsor more than 3 million voters here to cross to vote.Our neighbours must be encouraged to release and possibly sponsor their Zim employees for the June 27 polls.Let Tsvangirai get a 62.5% win and let the army stage a coup,we will take it from there.We have managed to mobilise the whole world and is watching,lets do it probably for the last time.

It very wide open that Mr Mugabe will not stop until they declare him as the winner of the election and he will do any way he could to achieved his goal.Well,why put another corrupt president if the country has one already. You all know he crook and you all know his way already.Why put another one who will strip the country all the remaining wealth The country will never change unless you all let a white man be the president of your country.
