You see! And there we were thinking that Bob Mugabe was coming right. That he was seeing the light. I’ll be honest, I let my guard down and thought a genuine Zimbabwe government of national unity was about to be formed between Robert Mugabe and Morgan Tsvangirai.

God, don’t be silly!

Farce

Iol reports: President Robert Mugabe has brokered a deal with Arthur Mutambara, as Morgan Tsvangirai refuses to play second fiddle in his government.

Shortly before 8pm last night, the Movement for Democratic Change leader stormed out of the South African-facilitated negotiations, which now appear to be headed for collapse.

Although both parties were quick to quell rumours that the negotiations are over, with MDC secretary-general Tendai Biti claiming “We are taking time out”, and Mugabe saying, “Talks can never collapse as long as we have tongues”, word emerged soon after that Mutambara had agreed to fill the void left by Tsvangirai’s departure.

Then I realise this guy is more psychotic than Hannibal Nector!

(Yes, I know.)
