 In South Africa's desperate attempt to clean out the country of unsightly Zimbabwean refugees in time for the World Cup, it has invited Zimbabwe’s co-Ministers of Home Affairs to address the Zimbabweans and urge them to go home.
The only problem is that it is not that the Zimbabweans do not want to go home; the conditions that they ran away from have not changed, both for political and economic refugees, and even those who left just because they wanted peaceful lives. Just to be able to wake up without being forced to go and attend a rally for something you do not believe in or to go and queue up for sugar, is sufficient for one to leave their home country. Begging them to come and help with reconstructing their country is not sufficient. What is in it for me, they will ask.

The Zimbabwe National Students Union (Zinasu) has denounced Dr Lovemore Madhuku (r) as a despot who amended an NGO Constitution to suit his despotic needs and who was influencing Clever Bere (l) to hold on to the post of Zinasu President despite being voted out. Zinasu spokesperson, Wisdom Mgagara, said the ongoing strike was being supported by the sacked Bere faction of Zinasu just as a way of trying to attract media attention. |

 "The collapse of the Haitian nation resides at the feet of France and America, especially. These two nations betrayed, failed, and destroyed the dream that was Haiti; crushed to dust in an effort to destroy the flower of freedom and the seed of justice." As the international community ponders how to respond to the Haiti crisis a University of the West Indies University's Professor Sir Hilary Beckles, disputes the popular conception that somehow the Haitian nation-building project, launched on January 1, 1804, has failed on account of mismanagement, ineptitude, corruption.

 By Promise Mkwananzi Recent manoeuvres by ZANU PF point to bigger surprises in coming times. The purported reduction of the powers of the Prime Minister is a gross violation of the Global Political Agreement (GPA). This coupled with the recent pronouncement by the ZANU PF politburo that they will not be keeping their end of the bargain in implementing the GPA [until sanctions are removed], is a wakeup call for the MDC to act.
In response, the MDC must begin to adjust and rethink their strategy to counter these unfortunate reversals of the crucial reforms which might have seen Zimbabwe move towards democracy and prosperity.

 The documentary “Mugabe and the White African”, directed by Lucy Bailey and Andrew Thompson, is an intimate account about Michael Campbell (centre), one of the few white farmers left in Zimbabwe since Robert Mugabe and ZANU PF began a violent land seizure program in 2000.
It portrays the 75 year old Michael’s struggle to resist the unlawful seizure of his Mt Carmel Farm by Nathan Shamuyarira, a senior ZANU PF politician. In 2008, Michael, assisted by his son in law Ben Freeth (left), successfully challenged Mugabe before the South African Development Community (SADC) international court, charging his government with human rights violations and racial discrimination.
