| Zuma Pushes Zimbabwe Gov't Leaders to Settle Differences | |
| 2009-08-29 | |
South African President Jacob Zuma, on a state visit to Zimbabwe which includes mediation of differences in its unity government, said Friday that while Harare is doing well in certain areas, full implementation of the Global Political Agreement is needed to quicken recovery. Mr. Zuma has been engaging unity government principals though sources in Pretoria and Harare said he did not propose to resolve the issues long troubling the "inclusive" government.
The South African president met with all three Friday at Harare's Rainbow Towers Hotel. The MDC handed Mr. Zuma a dossier detailing what it calls ZANU-PF breaches of the Global Political Agreement, among them allegedly arbitrary arrests of MDC members and President Mugabe's unilateral 2008 appointments of the Reserve Bank chief and attorney general. Political sources said President Mugabe told Mr. Zuma all is well in the government, saying the major stumbling block at this point is continuing Western sanctions. Mr. Zuma asked the principals to meet without him Monday to finally resolve their disputes as to the Reserve Bank and the Office of the Attorney General, as well as the swearing in of provincial governors and other senior officials including Tsvangirai MDC Treasurer Roy Bennett – named deputy agriculture minister in February but not yet sworn in. | |

| #5 1. There will always be worse. 2. I'm not the one who suggested hanging as a mode of execution. Especially using a stout branch. |

| #4 Problem is severe gun (And Bullet) control. But rope is widely available, it's NOT a KKK only remedy. By the way Pappy, your prejudice just sneaked out. Have you forgotten that Hanging was the official execution method here in the USA for about 300 years. And before that in our Mother Country Britian? |

| #3 You think there are no worse? error, error, error. |

| #2 I'd suspect a bullet would be just as effective as the 'KKK solution'. But the only way that'll happen is if an even worse African despot does it. |

| #1 To "Settle" the unrest, you'd need a 3/4 inch hemp rope (What's bob's neck size anyway?) and a stout branch or telephone pole, Until you do that, nothing will be accomplished. |
