Harare – Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe looked set to push ahead with a new government, as state media on Tuesday lashed opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai for rejecting a regional compromise to share power.
The only problem is the ‘Herald’ people are directing their anger at the wrong person. Are the people at the Herald that blind, such that they can’t see the suffering in Zimbabwe today?? They should be telling Robert Mugabe that enough is enough, and it’s time for him to GO! Not forcing another Zanu PF government on the people.
Zimbabwe can not afford another corrupt government full of greedy and self centred politicians.
“We call on President Mugabe to say enough is enough, as there is a limit to the indulgence Tsvangirai can be afforded,” the government mouthpiece The Herald newspaper said.
“The time to form that government is now.”
Tsvangirai rejected a proposal by regional leaders at the weekend to immediately form a government and share the disputed home affairs ministry with Mugabe, saying the plan was unworkable.
But the 84-year-old president said Monday the proposal would be put in place “maybe this week, maybe next week, but as soon as possible”.
The Herald accused Tsvangirai of delaying the power-sharing agreement signed in September which leaves Mugabe as president and himself as prime minister.
“Put simply, this man is wasting every one’s time,” The Herald said, calling the former trade union leader a Western stooge.
What time is this Herald reporter talking about? Is it time for new Zanu PF supporters to get into government and loot even more national resource and increase the people’s suffering?
Mugabe has ruled the country for the past 28 years and what do we have to show for all those years? I can’t tell my children how good life was in the 80s, it’s pure madness. There should be no room for those responsible for our suffering in government.
If that reporter calls Mugabe a stooge…God knows what will happen to him, so what gives him the right to call the would be Prime Minister a stooge??
“Any attempts at an inclusive government will come unstuck as long as the westerners feel they have not had their way,” said the Herald.Mugabe, who unilaterally handed key ministries to his own ruling Zanu-PF last month, said he hoped his rival’s Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) would come on board.
“SADC has been very persuasive this time around,” the Herald quoted the 84-year-old as saying.
“Of course they cannot force any decision on any country and at the end of the day it is up to us as Zimbabweans to implement the recommendations. All (SADC) can do is make recommendations and I hope (the MDC) will come on board.”

God help us! We thought the Herald could change and become a national paper, but we were wrong. The ‘Herald’ is still a Zanu PF propaganda media.
