“Those who commit violence should be arrested," Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai said in reply to the question of what government was doing to end the politically motivated violence. He added that the national leaders of all three political parties in government would meet to discuss how best they could curb the political violence.
It is impossible to take Tsvangirai serious; either he is stupid or blind as bat! This nation has suffered this scourge of political violence for the last three years when all that was required to end it was to arrest the thugs and for the leaders to meet! Why in the name of God have these things not happened?
The issue of ending political violence should have been at the very top of his mind in 2008 after the sham elections that saw millions beaten or raped and left over 500 murdered. The power sharing agreement he signed with Mugabe should have delivered above all else an end to this mindless culture violence. Sadly this is the one thing it failed to deliver. If anything things are worse now than ever; Mugabe has used the last three years to re-organise and secure funding for his terror machine.
Zanu PF thugs are now so bold they even beat up MPs and Police Officers. Everyone knows these Zanu PF thugs are above the law; no one dares arrest them. It therefore beggars belief that the PM should be the one not aware of this well established fact.
The trouble with Tsvangirai is that he does not have the imagination or the courage to deal with a ruthless tyrant like Mugabe and his Zanu PF thugs. And so Tsvangirai buries his head in the sand and pretends Mugabe and his murderous henchmen are all reasonable and peace loving people who will handover power one of these fine days! Tsvangirai has no redlines beyond which he will not be pushed and has thus allowed Mugabe, his partner in the GNU, to continue to loot and murder as he pleased.
Tsvangirai loves coming up with all these novelty solutions like the classic fairy tale mouse who suggested tying the bell round the cat but ignored the important andpractical detail of who would do it! Zimbabwe has the reality of a ruthless dictatorship to deal before the important task of digging ourselves out of the mess the regime created can start. Tsvangirai's mickey mouse timid grasp of the problem and childish solutions are, at best, a waste of time and energy and folly!
In 2008 Zimbabweans risked so much to vote for Tsvangirai hoping he would bring about the democratic change. The people knew Tsvangirai was a weak leader still none of them ever realised that he was this feeble and stupid!

Sunil Prasad, secretary-general of the Commonwealth Trade Union Group, says Mugabe would rather hand over power to his wife than anyone from his party.
One can see why Mugabe would rather appoint Grace than anyone else from Zanu PF particularly in the light of the WikiLeaks. However Prasad is completely off the mark when it comes to Tsvangirai. Tsvangirai is an incompetent, weak and indecisive leader; how can such a leader "change the fortunes" of Zimbabwe?
