ANC and Zanu pf were born from the same movement and if the democratic process looks as though these 'brothers-in-arms' are going to slide, then hang the democratic process! This tells you alot about the Left in general, and the Marxist remnants still operating under the 'Social Democrat' guise, in particular. I 'm reminded of President John Kennedy's famous description of the communists idea of negotiating, " What's mine is mine and what's yours is negotiable".

He also has his own theories about HIV which are a hoot and he is the president!! No crisis in Zimbabwe. I would like to hear his definition of a crisis. Better still he should be consigned to a hole in the gound and maybe he will go away. Meanwhile, in Zimbabwe the meek are inheriting the earth, all six feet of it.
