- You will recall that I have been saying for a very long
time that Robert Mugabe is lying about all this 2008 nonsense - which a
great many people believed might actually happen. And let me add to this,
he won't be stepping down in 2010 either! Mugabe will "step down"
the day he FALLS DOWN DEAD or the day he is so medically incapacitated
that he cannot function. That's the day when he will "voluntarily"
"resign" from his office.
-
- The process of Mugabe's "voluntary" "resignation"
could be speeded up by SHOOTING THE OLD SCUMBAG OUT OF POWER! Yeah... that
could actually work. But the Liberal CIA wusses and the Liberal MDC wusses
won't be making any of that happen any time soon... or perhaps any time
within our LIFETIMES! So I'd say Bob the Gob is pretty secure.
-
- Sssh... the CIA and MI6 might be hoping that TOTAL ECONOMIC
COLLAPSE will speed up Uncle Bob's removal from office... but they completely
miscalculated on that one... because he doesn't give half a damn about
his people... heck 10 million out of 13 million could all STARVE TO DEATH
and Bob the Gob will STILL REMAIN IN POWER! He's tougher than people realise.
I still say, arm the MDC, feed them, and then allow them to take him out
of power... while they still have the physical strength to do it. But the
Western world is run by such Liberal wusses that even a Tinpot African
Dictator can defy them... and they will do nothing about it. - Jan

- BULAWAYO -- Zimbabwe President
Robert Mugabe will not step down at the expiry of his term in 2008 but
will rule for an additional two years after three more provincial committees
of his ruling Zanu PF party resolved at the weekend to extend his term
to 2010. Zanu PF, which has enough parliamentary majority to amend Zimbabwe's
Constitution to enable Mugabe to continue in office, is pushing for a constitutional
amendment to postpone a presidential election due in 2008 to 2010 so it
could be held together with general elections for Parliament. The ruling
party says holding simultaneous presidential and parliamentary elections
would cut on costs. But insiders say the move is more because of failure
by bitterly opposed factions in the party to agree on a single candidate
to succeed Mugabe, who will have done 30 years at the helm if he stays
on until 2010. "Holding separate elections is too expensive and we
have resolved as a province that presidential, parliamentary and even senatorial
elections be held at the same time," Zanu PF spokesman for Bulawayo
province Effort Nkomo said at the weekend after the provincial leadership
agreed to ask a party national conference later this week to extend Mugabe's
term.
-
- Party provincial leaders in Matabeleland South and North
provinces also agreed at the weekend to support extending Mugabe's term,
bringing the number of provinces backing the call to keep the 82-year old
leader in office until 2010 to six out of a total of 10 provinces. The
provinces of Masvingo, Midlands and Manicaland had earlier indicated they
would push the national conference that begins next Wednesday to extend
Mugabe's term - which is now a mere formality after the majority of provinces
expressed their support for the proposal. Mugabe - accused by critics of
ruining Zimbabwe's once prosperous economy through repression and mismanagement
- has not publicly commented on the moves by his party to extend his rule.
The veteran President, among the few remaining of Africa's old style big-men
rulers, had never categorically stated that he would step down in 2008.
But he had indicated in a May 2004 interview with British television that
he would not seek re-election at the expiry of his current term. Under
Mugabe's charge he first came to power at the country's independence
from Britain in 1980 Zimbabwe has declined from being a model economy
to a classical African basket case, weighed down by an economic crisis
that has spawned hyperinflation, severe food shortages, record unemployment
and poverty.
