The trouble with tyrants is they disregard
the rules when the law get in their way but are the first to quote you chapter
and verse of the law if it suits them. Mugabe has been an outstanding defender
of Zimbabwe’s sovereignty and independence only to throw these out the minute
they get in his way.
"We are sovereign and equals and the
EU cannot decide on our delegations. The president, and Zimbabwe will not be
there if they continue to hold out on the visa," Mugabe's spokesman George
Charamba argues.
Excuse me, but that is exactly why the EU
imposed the targeted sanctions against Mugabe; for his blatant violation of the
ordinary people of Zimbabwe’s sovereign right to a meaningful say in the
governance of the country and the right to life itself. By rigging the
elections Mugabe put himself above the law and therefore lost legitimacy. He is
illegitimate in the eyes of the people of Zimbabwe and the world.
All Mugabe has been doing since the July
2013 rigged elections is restore his legitimacy by hook or by crook. He
bamboozled the blundering and confused Tsvangirai into accepting his presidency
“as a political reality,” as the MDC leader put it. SADC and the AU accepted him
as fiat accompli and to wash their hands of his tantrums. Now Mugabe is doing
his best to arm-twist the EU into accepting him has by evoking Zimbabwe’s sovereignty
– the very thing he has so flagrantly devalued.
In his desperate, desperate search for
legitimacy Mugabe has even gone to the extent of evoking the name of God
Almighty "What God has put together the EU is trying to separate," Charamba
argues.
Mr George Charamba; would Mugabe swear
before the same God you have so readily acknowledge that he did not rig the 2013
elections; knowing that He knows a lot more about how the elections were rigged
than the EU or most of us mortals do? Indeed we ordinary mortals would have
been content if Mugabe had released the voters roll.
Mugabe knows the voters roll is the smoking
gun to the rigged elections.
Tyrants like Mugabe should not be allowed
to benefit from rights and respect accorded to sovereign heads of state when
they have blatantly reduced the whole nation into nothing more than down
trodden serfs. As for evoking the name of God; is Mugabe 100% sure God was
outside Zimbabwe’s sovereign borders when he rigged the elections and murdered
the over 30 000 innocent Zimbabweans for his selfish political gain?!

Mugabe rigged the elections and he is therefore illegitimate. The people of Zimbabwe have a right to choose who should rule and it is totally unacceptable that they should be cheated out of that right!
THE European Union (EU) says it will release between 85 million and 100 million U.S. dollars by July this year towards repair works for Kariba Dam which has developed cracks that are said to threaten its existence.
He who pays the piper calls the tune! The EU has the money for the repairs. Will Zambia risk annoying EU by boycotting the EU-Africa summit just to please a tyrant who rigged the elections and now throws tantrums to because he does not want to be punished. It would foolish for Zambia or any other African country to heed to Mugabe's boycott call!
@ Mafiravanhu
Sure, sure! Why then is Mugabe refusing release the voters roll now nine months since it was due?
Mugabe thought he could rig the elections and the matter would be forgotten. He was wrong. This matter is not going away. Mugabe rigged the elections and he is therefore illegitimate.

It does not matter where I speak from; be it from dark and smelly homes where the majority of us ordinary mortals live or from the luxuries of the Blue Roof; the truth is the truth and a lie will remain a lie.
Mugabe rigged the 2013 elections; that is the truth. Mugabe is lying that Zimbabwe's 2013 elections were free, fair and credible!
Mugabe should not be allowed to rig elections and get away with it: that is a deliverable challenge. It will take vision and grit determination to make this happen and so far this on course!
