Zimbabwe: The turmoil, reconciliation, and the future!

[mikuki]

Mzalendo Halisi..mpaka lini tutaacha kuwalaumu wazungu kwa ujinga wetu? we should get life people!!!! Leo bongo matumizi ya kawaida ya ikulu na ofisi nyingine..ni makubwa kuliko health services na mengineyo...kesho watu wakifa (as they always do anyway)..unajua tunapoint vidole wapi? to the policies of IMF and WB!! Indeed Africans are DUMB!!! Mugabe is just a failed human being and he should accept so. Yaani na hardship ya wazimbabwe bado watu wanamtetea BOB? lets have solidarity with Zimbabweans and not Mugabe.. I earnestly believe..Mugabe has honourably and willingly presided over the death of his own country-as it is for many African leaders.... HE SHOULD GO AND BE TRIED IN THE HAGUE! If need be.

As for reemerging of Zim as a giant...History has testified that, with zeal, selfless dedication, and visionary and responsible dictatorship, another world is possible-unfortunately not in Africa and I dont think Zimbabwe will be the exception of the failed policies and vision of African leaders!

 

[JokaKuu]

mikuki,
makosa yanayofanyika ni kugeuza suala hilo kuwa "about Mugabe." That is when things get personal na wananchi wanaumia.

 

[mikuki]

Joka Kuu, its extremely hard and next to impossible kuangalia swala la Zim bila kuchambua personalities.....maana ndo wanapreside hizi sera na mengineyo. Ni kweli, ni vema kumtofautisha Mgabe na Zim but how? by the way..yuko kwenye mkakati wa kugombea tena....(after all chama kimesema...tutafika kweli?)

 

[JokaKuu]

mikuki,
mwacheni agombee, kama hali ni mbaya kiasi hicho, na wananchi wanaimani kwamba yeye ndiye anayesababisha inflation, lazima atashindwa.

 

[mikuki]

Hahahaha..Joka Kuu, you must be joking by uttering this statement! I honestly believe you dont mean it!

 

[JokaKuu]

mikuki,
yes, i meant what I said. Dunia nzima inaamini kwamba Mugabe ndiyo amesababisha hiyo inflation.

Mimi nafikiri ni vizuri waitishe uchaguzi sasa hivi wakati inflation imepamba moto ili Mugabe ashindwe.

Mikuki,
Nikuulize? Wewe unadhani Mugabe ana nia mbaya kuwatesa wananchi wake? Sii walipigania uhuru kwa pamoja? Na ndo baba wa Taifa kama sikosei!
Anapenda na kufurahi kuwaona na njaa? anapenda inflation iwe juu? Ili yeye kama raisi afaidi nini?
Mugabe aliingilia maslahi ya watu wa magh. end of 1990s over question of land- kwa hiyo wakawa hawamtaki.
Akapigana nao na sasa bado anapigana nao! Ndo wakamwekea vikwazo! Why was Mugabe voted as best African Leader in mid 1990s? So what went wrong?
Mkuki you can not discuss the crisis in Zimbabwe without relating it to Western Interest in Zimbabwe.
Mbona madiktator wengi Africa? Ila Wazungu hawana interest- kwa nini wasimwondoe rais wa Afrika ya Kati?
Ila ukiwa maskini na ukupambana na West- watakubana tu!
Ndo maana SADC wantumia quite diplomacy!
Mugabe hawachukii wananchi wake!! Hebu angalia NewAfrican Issues- in 2005 na 2006(ngoja nitakupatia mwiezi baadae)
Umri ni sawa- awaachie vijana hilo naafikiana na wewe

Waungwana..I fully agree culpability by western countries in the current messy in Zim. But hey wait a minute. What Mgabe did was a populace move to win election in 2000. Ni kweli alitaka kurudisha ardhi kwa wazawa, but how and when, was the deadliest mistake he made. wengi walishaliongelea humu na wala hatuna haja ya kurudia.

Kama tunaelewa kwamba survival ya mwafrika na akina developing countries bado inategemea kwa kiasi kikubwa ujanja wetu wa kujifunza kula na kipofu bila kumshika mkono, basi Mgabe hakuwa na budi kulielewa hili. Na historia katika Africa inaonyesha kwamba viongozi wengi wametumia ujanja huu..kujilimbikizia madaraka kwa kutumia unyonge na umaskni wa wananchi. Mgabe anaweza kuwa anawapenda wananchi wake..lakini siamini hili...ni huyu huyu mgabe ambaye ametumia chakula cha msaada na cha taifa kuwaumiza wale wote wanaompinga..kama wewe si ZANU-PF damdam..basi mgao hupati, ni huyu huyu Mgabe ambaye amechukua mashamba akawagawia marafiki zake ambao wameamua kuyatelekeza kwa sababu hawana ujuzi na uwezo wa kuyatumia, ni huyu huyu Mugabe ambaye ameweka draconian laws kuwanyamazisha wapinzani wake, kwa kuwa-brand agents of western countries. Ilmradi wanampinga. Ninachokishuhudia Zim, ni uroho na uzandiki wa Mugabe na associates wake. Haiingii akilini kwamba nimtetee Mgabe kwa sababu ni mweusi anapigana na weupe. NO!!! Kama kweli angekuwa na nia ya kurudisha ardhi..si tungeona hata yule aliyepewa ardhi ni nani? au waliopigania uhuru ni majaji, mawaziri na makitibu wakuu na wale wenye uwezo tuu?

AFRICA HATUKUJALIWA KITU KINACHOITWA UWAZI na UKWELI (ingawa Mkapa alijaribu alishindwa)!!!! So quite diplomacy is just a hoax! Mugabe has outlived his usefulness he should go. Though sio gurantee kwamba things will normalize soon, but atleast kuna mtu ataelewa kwamba ZIM is not a private company rather its a country of all Zimbabweans. Anayesema kwamba Mugabe agombee tena wananchi waamue...He might be to the point..After all hata Nyerere alikuwa anagombea uraisi kwa kushindana na UKUTA na wananchi tulikuwa tunaamua!!!

 

[mikuki]

Ndo maana inaniwia vigumu kuwaelewa hawa wanaojifanya Pan Africanist akina Ankomaah..wanapiga kelele wakiwa London kwenye viyoyozi, watoto wao wakila shule za uhakika.. na wala si kwao Ghana...wanasahau kwamba Uingereza wanayoitukana ime-gurantee hata huo uhuru wa kuitukana serikali. Mbona kama kweli wanaona Africa tunaonewa..kwa nini asiandike mawazo yake akiwa Ghana kwao au Zimbabwe kwa rafiki yake Bob?.....kila mtu ana mtizamo tofauti..ila waafrica tumezidi kwa double standards..na Iam sure unless we come back to our senses..tutaendelea hivi hivi kupiga kelele na kutoa tuhuma tuuuu. Tunataka sovereignity, ipi hiyo?.. I can sadly say....Uhuru wa Mwafrika bado. So far uhuru uliopatikana ni wa viongozi kula nchi, ila wa mwananchi wa kawaida bado na itakuwa ni miujiza kuwategemea hawa viongozi akina Mugabe watuletee huo uhuru sisi wananchi wa kawaida.

 

[MzalendoHalisi]

MKUKI,
UKWELI in whose perspective? Ukweli kwa watu kama Mugabe utabaki kwamba he was a Pan Africanist aliyepigana. Vitabu vya historia by Pan African Scholars will exalt him. Ila Vitabu vya Wauzngu wa magharibi vitasema ni dictator! Upi ni ukweli halisi?
Nakuambia basi Mugabe akigombea tena leo (mimi simpendi kwa ajili ya umri)- free and fair- atashinda!
Ukisema he used land issue to win 2000 elections- well mbona the same Mugabe alishinda kwa kishindo 1990 na 1995? That was a political tactic- sema why 2000 and not earlier? May he miscalculated.
Recall Nkrumah was deposed 1966 for the same reasons- Western interests!
Mimi naona ni vigumu to reduce all the problems in Zim to failure ya Mugabe!
History will tell!

 

[Game Theory]

Naona wewe ulikuwa unamsupport dictator ukaamua kumwaga manyanga kwa hiyo mimi naweka vitu jinsi vinavyoendelea. Huyu kibaka alikuwa na heshima hadi pale alipoamua kufikiri yeye ni MORE than Zimbabwe, hilo ni fundisho hata kwa viongozi wetu Tanzania ambao wanafikiri wao ni more than Tanzania.

Viongozi wa Afrika lazima wasikilize maoni ya wananchi.

Midhali umerudi mwaga vitu na wewe. Nilisema huyu bwana aondoke mapema at 83 years hana jipya.

wala sikumwaga manyanga ila nilikuwambia kuwa I was more than ready to have a debate with you on this issue lakini mwenzangu ukaamua kunimwagia ma news articles bila ya kuja na counter argument zaidi ya articles

Hapo ndipo nikaona bora nikuachie uendelee

more propaganda

Nikakuuliza

Where is the freedom of speech?
Ukaandika

depends on whose persocetive and definition of freedom of speech

Nikauliza
What language is this: persocetive
Ukaingia mitini ukaja na hadithi chungu nzima za abunuwasi ukajibu

bado mnajibizana na articles za magazeti? Etc.

Swala la ardhi hakuna anayebisha naona umelikumbatia kama vile ni sala. Wazungu wengi walirudisha ardhi na kuondoka Zimbabwe kwenda Zambia, Australia, New Zealand na hata wengine wamerudi Tanzania etc. Kama unakumbuka baada ya 1967 wengi walikimbilia South Afrika na Rhodesia, Mugabe alikuwa anawakamua na walipoondoka na kumwachia ardhi akaanza kuwakamua raia wake kwa vitisho ambavyo vinaendelea na muda wake umekwisha hivyo inabidi aachie wengine waongoze.

Mwafrika yoyote aliye ulaya na marekani lazima atamtetea Mugabe kwa sababu ya ubaguzi ambao wazungu wanaufanya kwa waafrika lakini ni lazima uwe mkweli na uwe na upeo wa kuona mbali (ndugu zetu Zimbabwe ambapo damu ya WTZ ilimwagika wanashida na huyu mdudu).

Robert ameshindwa kazi na tunahesabu siku tu ataondoka baada ya kuharibu uchumi wa nchi yake, vile vile ameshindwa kuweka umoja ambao ulianzishwa na father of that nation (Nkomo) kabla ya kufariki around 1990’s ingawa wengi watabisha hili lakini ukienda Zimbabwe wenyewe wanakubali kwamba Nkomo ndio real father of that nation.

Mugabe alikuwa ni opportunist ambaye aliwaburuza wananchi on a borrowed time na muda wake umefika atakuwa salama kama atakimbilia kwa rafiki yake Mahadhir kule Malasyia sivyo atakuwa another Sadam Hussein. Mambo ambayo unaona ni propaganda ndiyo ukweli on the ground, iko siku utaona ukweli kwa sababu ukweli siku zote hushamiri.

Vile vile lazima ukumbuke kwamba hata wakati wa Ian Smith pamoja na vikwazo vya uchumi waliweza kuishi na nchi haikuporomoka. Ian Smith alikuwa hauwi wazungu wenzake lakini huyu babu anauwa waafrika wenzake na sisi tunakenua meno tu kama vile hatuoni.

Kwa hapa Dua umeua kabisa. Ati Western wana interests zao pale, zipi hizo?

 

[MzalendoHalisi]

Tabasamu,
Western interests to Zim are historical- it was a British colony- and if you happened to visit Zim in 1990s you would agree Zim was economic hub of South African Region after SA. Western interests in terms of many aspects including population, agriculture, infrastructure, investment, sports (rugby) ... you name it.
I am not trying to be a reductionist- to attribute all problems of Zim today to West. Mugabe and other Zimbabweans have a share to contribute.
In a nutshell the western interests --if you ask me--- herald more weight than other internal dynamics which occurred in Zim. And caused by Mugabe and his associates per see!
Remember in Africa, there are so many other dictators- but they have been 'a darling to the West' that is why they are there! If you will recall Mobutu and Siyyed Bare used to be close friends of US- until when after cold war, when they were seen useless- and later on deposed!
We can not blame West for everything- on the situation in Zim- I will stand with Mugabe- may be because of his age he has to look for a successor!
Mzalendohalisi!

Police close Zimbabwe university

Police have evicted some 4,000 students from the main university in Zimbabwe's capital, Harare, after violent clashes. The students were given just 30 minutes to leave their halls of residence but lectures are expected to continue, with exams set to start next week.

Sunday's protests came after the university authorities charged extra fees because the term was extended following a strike by lecturers. This is the latest sign of Zimbabwe's economic crisis. "It's not our fault that the lecturers went on strike and we were saying why should we be made to pay," student Chadwick Rugube told the AFP news agency.

The students say they should not pay for the lecturers' strike


'Heartless'

While the university authorities say lectures will continue, student union spokesman Benjamin Nyandoro said many students had nowhere else to stay. "The majority of those who stay on campus have no homes, friends or relatives in Harare so they are going to sleep in the open," he told AFP.

"It just shows how heartless the authorities are. Some of us are starting examinations next week and this is going to affect us psychologically." University of Zimbabwe Vice-Chancellor Professor Levy Nyagura told the state-owned Herald newspaper that the students were paying almost nothing and so should not complain.

"These are unbelievable students who want to live on a Z$1,000 meal [US$4 at the official rate, 1 US cent on the black market]. Where in Zimbabwe can you get a meal for Z$1,000?" Zimbabwe has the world's highest rate of inflation at more than 3,700%.
The Herald reports that "almost 10" top businessmen remain in police custody after being arrested for selling goods above official prices. Some major firms were fined for not displaying prices, as the government has ordered as part of its attempts to reduce inflation.

SOMA HAPA

VIONGOZI WENGI WAAFRIKA WALISOMA BURE KWA KULIPIWA NA WALIPA KODI LAKINI WAO WANAONA NI KUFURU KWA KIZAZI KIPYA KUPATA HIYO ELIMU.

Hizo interest zako ni legelege mno. Yaani Western waing'ang'anie Zimbabwe kwa sababu ya timu ya rugby? Are you serious au hata unataka tuamini kuwa miundo mbinu yao ina maslahi kwa West?
Kama ni maslahi nchi nyingi zilizokuwa makoloni enzi hizo zilikuwa na maslahi, Kenya kulikuwa na ardhi nzuri mbona waliondoka na hayo ya Zimbabwe hayapo? Nigeria si ina mafuta mbona pia waliicha. Angola kwa almasi na mafuta haishiki west hawakuona interests zao ila kwa Zimbabwe tu.

 

[Kichuguu]

Niliishi Zimbabwe mwaka 1989 na 1990 nikiwa pale Mount Pleasant. Harare lilikuwa jiji kweli kweli lenye barabara pana sana na safi kweli kweli. Wakati huo dola ya kimarekani ilikuwa inabadilishwa kwa dola mbili za kizimbabwe. Watu walikuwa hawana haja na dola za kimarekani. Siku ya kwanza nilipanda taxi kutoka George Hotel kwenda Russel Hotel bila kuwa na dola za kizimbabwe nikidhani kuwa dereva atapokea dola za kimarekani nikmwachia tip kubwa kwenye exchange rate, jamaa alikataa ikabidi nikazibadilishe hotelini kumpatia zimdollars zake.

Mwaka jana nimepita tena hapo Harare utadhani ni Baghadad, yale mabarabara mapamna yamekuwa mashimo tu na dola moja ya kimarekani ilikuwa inabadilishwa karibu laki mbili!! Nilibadilisha dola hamsini tu nikawa na mzigo mkubwa sana wa pesa, yaani millionea wa ajabu kweli kweli. Yale maduka makubwa makubwa ya departmental stores hayapo tena na yaliyobaki yako tupu kabisa. Biashara nyingi zilikuwa zinapendelea dola za kimarekani kuliko zile za kizimbabwe.

Hakuna aliyeharibu nchi hiyo iliyokuwa na msingi mzuri wa uchumi wa madini kama si Mugabe, unless unataka kuniambia kuwa waafrika ndivyo tulivyo hatuwezi kuendesha mambo yetu. Jawabu la kutatua matatizo ya Zimbabwe ni kuindoa ZANU-PF madarakani, siyo kumwondoa Mugabe tu kwa vile misingi mibovu ya utawala imesambaa katika mfumo zmima wa ZANU-PF.

The lure of plentiful South Africa

By Peter Biles
BBC News, South Africa

The economic crisis in Zimbabwe is having a severe impact on its neighbour, South Africa. An estimated three million Zimbabweans are thought to have fled to South Africa to escape the chaos and they continue to flood across the border at Beit Bridge. The Limpopo River, famously described by Kipling as "great, grey-green and greasy", forms the border between Zimbabwe and South Africa - two close neighbours, but now a world apart. Zimbabwe is on its knees. Its people are starving and desperate. South Africa is seen as the land of opportunity. And the bright lights of this economic giant beckon.

The original Beit Bridge was erected in 1929 and a new one built in 1995

Old barriers

It is winter here now and this is the dry season. That is good news for the thousands of mainly young Zimbabwean men prepared to take the risk of crossing the Limpopo. They come down to the river bank on the Zimbabwean side, sometimes in large groups. Then they disperse. They are able to wade across, but they need to keep a look-out for crocodiles in the shallow water. When they reach the South African side, they dry themselves down and edge nervously towards South Africa's triple-layer border fence.

This is a barrier that was put up in the days of apartheid - when the country's white rulers tried to stop the guerrillas of Umkhonto we Sizwe, the armed wing of the ANC, from infiltrating from Zimbabwe.

Border jumpers

But these days, the security is not as formidable as it looks.
The illegal migrants from Zimbabwe approach the first fence and cut the wire mesh or burrow in the sandy soil to open a gap underneath. Then, using their bolt-cutters, they make their way through rolls of razor wire. And finally, they penetrate another layer of fencing. By this stage, one of the Zimbabweans is probably leading the way as a scout. But the "border jumpers" are rarely deterred.

In daylight, with my car parked on a quiet narrow road that runs along the border, a man suddenly appears. He leaps over the nearest fence with unexpected agility and vanishes into the South African bush. All this happens within a few hundred metres of the Beit Bridge border post, the only official crossing point between Zimbabwe and South Africa. Under the noses of the South African police and soldiers, this is as brazen as it gets.
I carry on watching with fascination. A few minutes later, a group of six men come surging over the security fence. They look left and right to see if there is any approaching traffic, cross the road and dart out of sight.

A little further along the border, I meet a workman in red overalls. Donald's job is to repair the holes cut in the fence by the Zimbabweans. "Sometimes, I have to fix 100 a day," he says. "The situation is getting worse and worse. Our army isn't patrolling enough."

Donald, a workman, says he repairs about 100 holes a day

"Perhaps what we need," suggests Donald, "is for Robert Mugabe to put up a fence on his side of the border."

Peter Biles examines the gaps and holes in the wire mesh

Looking for work

I make my way back to the petrol station at Beit Bridge. This is the first stop for Zimbabwean motorists who have crossed the border legally and need to fill up their empty tanks. There is precious little fuel in Zimbabwe these days. But in the car park, it is not long before I run across some of those who have come across the border by less orthodox means. "Yes," says 23 year old Tony, "I swam the Limpopo. We have no food, no money and no jobs in Zimbabwe."

Promise is also 23. He is from Harare and has come to South Africa to look for a job in an attempt to support his family.
He thinks he might find some work on a local farm, but many have made the same journey ahead of him and a record number of Zimbabweans are now being picked up by the South African police and deported.

Zimbabwean motorists who cross the border legally are short of petrol

Determined young men

It is thought that about 1,000 Zimbabweans are being arrested in South Africa every day and sent home, but as many as 3,000 a day may be coming into the country. So that means plenty appear to be slipping through the net. Some of the more circumspect Zimbabwean migrants enter South Africa under the cover of darkness. Most want to head south to the big cities of Johannesburg and Pretoria. All this is the consequence of what is happening in Robert Mugabe's Zimbabwe

As the early morning mist begins to burn off, a teenager approaches me and asks for a lift. Others are hitching on the main road, the N1 highway. The local farmers are getting more than a little jittery about this influx. They are hardly enamoured with large groups of poor, hungry and determined young men, traipsing across their land.

Game farmer Gideon Meiring sees himself living on a frontline.
He says the police can not cope, so with military precision, Gideon now runs his own patrols and tells me he comes across Zimbabweans on his property almost every day. All this is the consequence of what is happening in Robert Mugabe's Zimbabwe, a country that was once a jewel of Africa. And from all the Zimbabweans I meet at the border, there is just one simple refrain: "We are suffering."

When one of our chosen leaders makes almost half of the population refugees, and the entire country go hungry he should just do the wise thing.
