The politics of Zimbabwe -Crazy

Its Tuesday morning there i am seating at 40 Cork Road sipping a glass of water while reading the most obnoxious newspaper i have ever seen the Herald. The headline suggests that ZANU PF and MDC are to come up with a cabinet before the end of the week, this is coming from the mouth of Mr Mzgabe himself.
But´crazy enough i see a story on Reuters quoting the MDC denying what Mr Mugabe is saying.
Could it be that the MDC was taken for a ride by Mugabe into this fragile deal. Time will tell.

Make it of break it Monday

I seat at a hotel lobby in Harare typing away and suddenly i get the news that after all Mugabe and Tsvangirai might agree. Well this calls for a smile but the deal might be reflective in principal. The ink must translate into deeds. I am now awaiting the arrival on Monday of SA president Thabo Mbeki to oversee the signing of a document that might deliver us from hell.
