Frustration

[shofarot]

Mugabe needs to be shot. If I could I would go do the deed myself, as I am sure pretty much any normal Southern African would. Yet Mbeki, and the now hopelessly corrupt ANC would never allow such a thing to happen.

Prediction - something I would never have deemed possible in Zimbabwe - civil war on South Africa's border in the coming weeks.

Maybe we could spread a rumour that Mugabe takes liberties with a Muhammad doll and loves cartoons. Maybe some 'mussy' would blow the bastard to pieces.

In Southern Africa you're either Xhosa or a Zulu, or your screwed

The opposition leader may have an in with Zuma, South Africa's next corrupt leader. Zuma is a Zulu, and Zimbabwe's opposition is heavily backed by the Ndebele, a faction of the Zulus that was created during the Zulu Empire expansion under Dingan and Shaka (The period of Mfecane).

Mbeki, South Africa's current lame duck president, is in bed with Mugabe because of arms support and an attack base the ZANU provided the ANC with during the struggle against Apartheid. Xhosas are also historically more aligned with the Shona, of which Mugabe is a prominent member.

Mugabe continues to blame the whites for ZIM's (Zimbabwe's) problems; however, it is widely accepted that there are fewer than 30,000 whites left in the country, and most of these are located in urban centres.

Mandela is a Xhosa, as are most of the black people in Cape Town.

Auks?

Still looking for that wonderful bridge (near Hiroshima) in Japan ... but the other incredible place near Hiroshima is Miyajima and its Torii gates ...
