Oh goodie, we are being allowed to comment on a few of the International articles. Aren't the Hootsmon wonderful!

Anyway, obviously Mugabe doesn't want any election monitors there as he and his thugs will be very busy manipulating the results.

have to agree with Guga on that point!

to the editor of the Scotsman, considering the striking resemblance of Hootsman`s tactic`s to the Harare Herald`s tactic`s (Mugabe`s mouthpiece)of preventing/restricting comment one has to wonder if you and him are members of the same party?

care to comment....or is that restricted?

Mugabe's hunger for power and control has gained him little more than a comfortable little suite in Hell. For it is written; "What shall it profit a man if he should gain the whole world, but lose his soul?" How blind can this man be to his own mortality?

It would be nice if that was true, but this is real life not some mythical pie in the sky torture chamber that exists to punish people who behave badly whilst alive.
Mugabe will only be punished if he is punished whilst alive, because when he dies he is dead and all that will remain is a bag of bones. But dont lose hope, I can assure you that he will not be in power by this time next year. It takes but one general to turn on him and the rest is history, and turn they will. When the end is nigh, and it is, the cowards under his command will begin to scramble for cover in the direction of those who are about to take control.
Mugabe will be removed make no mistake. One thing about a despotic regime is that it can only survive whilst the people are fearful, but remove the fear and it all comes tumbling down. Mugabe is a black man with a chip on his shoulder. And like most black leaders (Note I say most, not all) he is incapable of leadership and useless. All he has was given to him by a white man, and when he is removed from power the people will rejoice and Zimbabwe will trade and form good relations with Britain and America.
He will be gone soon.
