Mugabe; 'Only God Can Remove Me From Office'

According to Zuma God is supporting the ANC and according to Mugabe God is supporting him . What is the difference?????????
 
It's time to dust off them Rooivalk attack helicopters and give the SANDF some much needed practice. At the very least the streets should be full of SA soldiers maintaining peace for successful elections... but I'd prefer they just make the bad man go away.
 
Anyone notice the price on the Sunday Times in Zimbabwean Dollars. $800Million! :eek:

Carter's Role in Zimbabwe

Messrs. Carter and Young would only countenance a settlement in which Mr. Mugabe, a Marxist who had repeatedly made clear his intention to turn Zimbabwe into a one-party state, played a leading role. Mr. Young, displaying the willful naiveté that came to characterize Mr. Carter's mindset, told the London Times that Mr. Mugabe was a "very gentle man" whom he "can't imagine … ever pulling the trigger on a gun to kill anyone."

How Tyranny Came to Zimbabwe

In April 1979, 64 percent of the black citizens of Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) lined up at the polls to vote in the first democratic election in the history of that southern African nation. Two-thirds of them supported Abel Muzorewa, a bishop in the United Methodist Church. He was the first black prime minister of a country only 4 percent white. Muzorewa's victory put an end to the 14-year political odyssey of outgoing prime minister Ian Smith, the stubborn World War II veteran who had infamously announced in 1976, "I do not believe in black majority rule--not in a thousand years." Fortunately for the country's blacks, majority rule came sooner than Smith had in mind.

Less than a year after Muzorewa's victory, however, in February 1980, another election was held in Zimbabwe. This time, Robert Mugabe, the Marxist who had fought a seven-year guerrilla war against Rhodesia's white-led government, won 64 percent of the vote, after a campaign marked by widespread intimidation, outright violence, and Mugabe's threat to continue the civil war if he lost. Mugabe became prime minister and was toasted by the international community and media as a new sort of African leader. "I find that I am fascinated by his intelligence, by his dedication. The only thing that frustrates me about Robert Mugabe is that he is so damned incorruptible," Andrew Young, Jimmy Carter's ambassador to the United Nations, had gushed to the Times of London in 1978. The rest, as they say, is history.

Hmmm, God has no authority over Zim.
Every picture of God I have ever seen depicts him as a middle-aged white oke.
:D
 
i dont know BTTB, Zuma said this...........:|

"Even God expects us to rule this country because we are the only organisation which was blessed by pastors when it was formed," he said in a speech near Cape Town.

"It is even blessed in heaven. That is why we will rule until Jesus comes back."

BTTB said:
Hooray! There you are. Proof at last!!

Surely now, SADC, The ANC and their comrades and the rest of us can take a statement like that as evidence that, the lift does not go to all the floors, he is not a full box of chocolates, a screw loose, not on the same planet, an old man who should have retired 10 years ago, etc, etc.



To draw a comparison:
African Renaissance - Year 2000 >
European Renaissance - Year 1500 >

Africa still rides on the principles of Tribalism and Culture which is similar to days of old where The King and/or Queen ran the country until death. Mugabe thinks no differently. Europe has moved on and Kings like Charles I were beheaded and the blood from his dead corpse after his beheading was shown to the onlookers by Cromwell to enlighten the crowd that "The Divine King" was no more human than themselves.

Yeah. Read that on the internet.
Seems the ANC Politicians are also playing the Religion Card nowadays.
The Apartheid Card stale?:confused:

For you and I am many others who have been around the block, we understand this rhetoric as politicking, but how many of the less informed or younger generation believe these stories as the gospel truth. Here lies South Africa and Africa's problem - people that are possibly uneducated, which forms the mass of the voting public placing their faith in people like Mugabe who claims he is Divinely Appointed by God or Zuma who reckons he or his comrades will be around until the second coming of Christ.
>They are either very clever, playing into the media's hands to keep themselves in the Public's eye, or simply quite daft, possibly even believing the garbage that comes out of their mouths. Hard to tell any more. :(

For a person who may be this countries future President I am alarmed to hear this kind of talk. Not even Mbeki stoops to these levels to gain favour or attention.
