"I've thought about
retirement, but not when the British are saying we want regime change. I won't
be changed by the British. My people will change me,” Mugabe told a Japanese
Kyodo News.
“I do not retire from
their government (Europeans), I am a Zimbabwean serving Zimbabwean people. If
my people say I must retire, I retire. But they still want me to go on.
“So, who is saying I
must retire? The same enemies who imposed sanctions on me? That’s the more
reason why I will not retire and will not die also.”
It is great to be a
tyrant, first you deny the people a meaningful say by denying them a vote and a
voice even to the extent of murdering over 30 000 then you claim “they still
want me to go on”!
As for the tyrant’s
claim that he “will not die also”; he has been spending millions of dollars on
his health bills, more money on him per year than the regime is spending on the
health needs of the whole nation per month. Still not even this fortune can buy
him immortality; he too will one day stop breathing and go cold.

“We accepted that judgment and we will work in accordance with that judgment, let it be said, of course, that the GPA was never meant, really, to exist for more than 18 months and when we started we had 18 months in mind as duration it had and thereafter we will have an election, but we did agree along the way that we should have a people driven constitution,” Mugabe said.
"The election date must be process-driven and so if ZANU-PF (Mugabe's party) cooper-ates and we speed up what we need for a free and fair election, we can all easily fulfill the court order," MDC spokesman Douglas Mwonzora told Reuters
MDC have curved in as they have always done in the last five years. There will be no free and fair elections; that has been self-evident ever since MDC started dill darling about getting the reforms implemented – years ago!
@Chimbwido
Mugabe and Zanu PF have been able to woodwink Tsvangirai but if they think this means this marks the end of demands for democratic change then they are wrong. The fight is still on and will go on until there is real democratic change. As for you Chimbwido, I will not rest until I see you hanging by the neck for the blood on your hands.
I realize that the nation will get nowhere as long as the people still put their trust in a failed leader like Tsvangirai. Once the nation comes to its senses, the people are slowly coming round to this; I will turn my attention back on Mugabe, zanu PF and thugs like you Chimbwido! You can be sure of onething i will keep my promise to have you hanged!
@albkane
I have said it countless of times that Mugabe is a corrupt and murderous tyrant because that is a fact. I am not a Zanu PF supporter; I was before independence but throw away my member-ship card soon after when I realized what the party was doing.
My condemnation of Mugabe and Zanu PF does not blind me to the reality that Tsvangirai is an incompetent leader whose failure to implement the GPA reforms is the real reason why Zimbabwe is in this pickle. I am not naive not to see that he is delaying holding elections to extend his stay on the gravy train.
The constitution says this parliament's life ends 29 June 2013; it would be folly for the nation to set a dangerous precedence of extending the life of a parliament for frivolous reasons.
You close your eyes to all these factual realities, that is your choice; please do not demand it of me and other to do the same!
@ Chimbwido
Mugabe has dreaded facing the electorate all these last five years. He is shrewd enough to know he could not delay the elections for much longer and smart enough to put a brave face. He knows the people of Zimbabwe hate him with a burning passion and that they will happily overlook Tsvangirai's incompetence just to see him humiliated at the poll! Even his on Zanu PF members de-campaigned him in 2008; remember "operation bora musango"!
Mugabe could do with all the help he can get but the last thing he wants is have blundering thugs like you Chimbwido. He is not going to call you, you are too stupid! And there lays Mugabe's biggest problem - he has no one to trust. He has always been a loner but at times like this he must be feeling like a wounded cow surrounded by ten hyenas. He is being eaten alive!
The Human Rights Watch has produced some really good reports in the past; where has Kasmbala been these last five years? From the word go, SADC has said Zimbabwe must implement democratic reforms and the regional body has been urging PM Tsvangirai to do so these last five year but the latter paid no heed. What else did Kasambala want SADC to do?
“SADC should make improving the behaviour of the security forces a key pillar of the Zimbabwe roadmap to credible, free, and fair elections,” Kasambala said.
There are many Zimbabweans NGOs who have cheered PM Tsvangirai even when he was blundering, which sadly has been a regular occurrence which has only encouraged him to make even more blunders. The last thing Zimbabwe needs is for reputable organizations like HRW to join this “Tsvangirai can do no wrong fan club”!
