Court acquits MDC’s Roy Bennett of all terrorism charges.
My guess is Mugabe will now swear in Bennett and earn himself a thousand brownies. He is a master at making a big song and dance each time he gives anything minor or, as is the case here, something he should have done a long, long time ago. He publicly gives with the right hand and under cover takes away even more with his left hand.
The right of Zimbabweans to have a meaningful say in the running of the country is THE BIG ISSUE – broken into free and fair elections, free media, democratic constitution, rule of law, etc - in Zimbabwe and has been these last thirty years remains untouched. Tsvangirai and MDC have fought hard over the trivial issues like the swearing in of Bennett and firing of Gono, they had no appetite to take Mugabe on the big national issue.
Mugabe is a ruthless dictator and terrorist who should have been hanged for his crimes against humanity a long time ago but has somehow evaded the law. He murdered 20 000 innocent civilians in the mid 1980s but that did not stop the whole world falling over themselves to honour him. British knighted him but that did not stop him a few years later started kicking them in the teeth! He has turned Tsvangirai, the “West’s puppet” according to him, into his own acolyte; like it or not Mugabe is miles ahead of us all.
“I am feeling good!” Bennett said after his acquittal. Nothing compared to what Mugabe is feeling; only a canning fox like him could drag the whole world’s attention away from what really matters over a trivial issue like this for this long. After swearing in Bennett he will even be rewarded by having at least some of the targeted sanctions lifted!
