(Though we would have preferred other choices)

On this page, just opposite this editorial piece, you can find pictures of President Comrade Robert Mugabe with another African revolutionary leader, Comrade Mbeki. And on the same page, you can find Morgan Tsvangria pictured with some fat cat, White farmer, who is pushing him along from behind. These pictures depict the nature of both personalities, as to what each of them really stand for.

Do they not say that you can tell a man by the company he keeps? Just look at Morgan and his friend, a white farmer who thinks Morgan can return their stolen lands to them.

As we have already indicated, we would have preferred other choices, given that, like many other revolutionary struggles, the one in Zimbabwe currently needs a flow of fresh blood, people that would guarantee the sustenance of the crusade of pan-African identity, respect and dignity of Zimbabweans.

However, if, as it has become obvious, we have nothing but to go with these two candidates, well, there is not an iota of doubt that Comrade Mugabe is more than a match for the Western backed puppet, Morgan, who has never failed to demonstrate his manifest like-mindedness with his backers. No wonder the general attitude of the world towards the MDC's false hearted calls. Well, as you would expect, (that is if you were true to the pan-African ideals of this century) the general attitude of African leaders equally toes this line.
 
For those of us who are totally ignorant of the realities behind Zimbabwe's predicament, Comrade Mugabe himself is in no less agreement with the general feeling that he should call it quit. He indicated this recently, after the conclusion of the ill-fated elections of March 29, just about a week ago, when he alluded to the fact that not even he, himself, or his esteemed comrade in the ZANU-PF-led independence struggle were indispensable.

Although the Western media establishment went mute about this, opting instead for the bad side of the man, Mugabe disclosed his agreement with the fact that everything comes to an end. "We know that even this administration will one day be succeeded, he said", but he also stressed that they would not want to be succeeded by an instrument of the West, intent on pushing for some destructive foreign interest at the expense of his people. This is what Tsvangirai and his MDC cronies are up for.

So, if you have been wondering or cursing the man Mugabe (who famously said that all he had were himself, his wife and Zimbabwe) for wrongly thinking that he was being imposing, you were in fact being unfairly judgmental. Mugabe is a hero, no matter how badly he is framed by the Western backed propaganda machinery.

Remember that the great Nkrumah, himself, went through such a smear campaign. But today those that haunted him equally acclaimed him as a revolutionary figure. What a show of hypocrisy though!

Long live Mugabe, long live the struggle!
