Share...yeah right. I have a feeling that Mugabe did very poorly in kindergarten:

ALL I REALLY NEED TO KNOW I LEARNED IN KINDERGARTEN:

Share everything.

Play fair.

Don’t hit people.

Clean up your own mess.

Don’t take things that aren’t yours.

Say you’re sorry when you hurt somebody.

CNN) -- Zimbabwe's opposition leader has canceled his return to Harare from South Africa after receiving information from a "credible source" about what his party said was a planned assassination.

MUGABE READY STEP DOWN

Better yet would be him 'dropping down', with a noose around his neck, when they open the trap door of the gallows.

(CNN) -- The run-off for Zimbabwe's presidential election will be held June 27, Zimbabwe's Electoral Commission said Friday.


Morgan Tsvangirai won 47.9 percent of the presidential vote according to official results.

In the first round of voting March 29, opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai of the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC), received more votes than President Robert Mugabe, but the electoral commission's official tally said Tsvangirai failed to win enough votes to avoid a runoff.

MDC disputed that, saying that Tsvangirai won 50.3 percent of the vote, giving him the necessary majority. The party argued that the election commission, which delayed publicly releasing the results for weeks, had fudged the numbers to protect Mugabe.
"My party, the Movement for Democratic Change, is a government-in-waiting that is not prepared to wait anymore," Tsvangirai told a political conference in Belfast, Northern Ireland, on Friday.

"We will pioneer a new form of democratic governance, taking our agenda directly to the people," he said. "After all, the MDC began as a people's party. Never again will we take something so precious as freedom for granted."

REIGER PARK, South Africa (AP) -- Police fired rubber bullets and made arrests Monday to try to quell outbursts of anti-foreigner violence in and around Johannesburg, and said the death toll had reached 22.

South African police fired on people with rubber bullets to try and end the violence.

Foreigners -- many of them Zimbabweans who had fled economic collapse and political violence in their homeland -- were being driven from shacks in squatter camps Monday. Men bearing clubs and sticks patrolled in groups along the road near one camp, apparently South Africans guarding against any foreigners trying to return.

South Africans are struggling to find jobs and buy food as prices rise, and they appear to be targeting foreigners they see as competing with them for scarce resources.

Mugabe bans open-air prayer meetings
Friday, 23rd May 2008. 4:00pm

By: Judy West.

Church groups have complained that security forces in Zimbabwe have banned open-air prayer meetings, citing security laws.

The move comes ahead of next month’s presidential run-off, in an atmosphere of tension as fears continue to grow of a crackdown by state security forces on opponents of Mugabe’s ZANU-PF party.

Today the challenger in the election, Morgan Tsvangarai, confirmed that he is to return to the country tomorrow, after nearly two months in exile. He has so far refused to return to Zimbabwe following reports of an assassination plot on him.

Now the churches are claiming that freedom to worship is being infringed with the latest ban. "We were told last week that churches are no longer allowed to hold prayer meetings in the open except on church premises," Pastor Useni Sibanda, a spokesperson for the group called Churches in Bulawayo, told Ecumenical News International.

JOHANNESBURG, South Africa (CNN) -- The atmosphere was tense in Cape Town on Friday after xenophobic violence that has left more than 40 dead in Johannesburg spread to South Africa's largest city.
Immigrants from Mozambique line up in Primrose, South Africa, to board buses back home.
The attacks in South Africa have forced thousands of immigrants to flee, prompting neighboring Mozambique to declare a state of emergency on Friday.

Clashes overnight resulted in one death and 15 arrests and the evacuations of 420 foreign nationals, a police official in Cape Town said.

It was the first violence in the coastal city since a wave of xenophobia began about two weeks ago in Johannesburg, resulting in at least 42 deaths. The victims are mainly immigrants and refugees from other parts of Africa, including Zimbabwe, where a devastated economy has sent at least two million people across the border in search of a better life.

From The TimesMay 26, 2008

Jan Raath in Harare
President Mugabe threatened to expel the US Ambassador yesterday after accusing him of interfering in domestic politics and promised to give land to Zimbabweans fleeing xenophobic violence in South Africa.

“I am just waiting to see if he makes one more step wrong. He will get out,” Mr Mugabe told a rally as he stepped up campaigning for a second-round run-off in presidential elections. “As tall as he is, if he continues to do that I will kick him out of the country.”

Mr Mugabe accused James McGee of meddling after the US Ambassador publicly called on Morgan Tsvangirai, the opposition leader, to return home to contest the run-off on June 27.

The President also made the offer of land to thousands of Zimbabweans fleeing violence in South African townships that has killed 50 foreign nationals and displaced tens of thousands more. “We have land for our people in South Africa who may want to return home,” he said.

The ZANU-PF headquarters on Rotten Row in Harare was the venue for the official launch of Robert Mugabe's presidential runoff campaign on Sunday. The event was organised to coincide with Africa Day, which commemorates the founding of the Organisation of African Unity in 1963.

The OAU is now the African Union, the continental grouping that is supposed to monitor democracy and good governance among member states. Ironically, the Mugabe regime has failed to uphold the democratic principles that Africa day stands for, and Mugabe's speech at the launch served as a reminder of how far from democracy he has taken Zimbabwe.


Our Harare correspondent Simon Muchemwa said Mugabe bussed in over a thousand ZANU-PF youth who attended the launch adorned in new party uniforms that have his face on them. As always he accused the MDC and its leader Morgan Tsvangirai of being colonial puppets who would reverse the gains of the liberation struggle if they were in charge of the country.

Muchemwa said the ageing Mugabe spoke enthusiastically and with vigor, but his audience appeared uninterested and bored.
