WHAT CRISIS?

You can always rely on some African political leaders to call it wrong. South African leader Thabo Mbeki has said there is "no crisis" in Zimbabwe and patience should be exercised over the election outcome. Watch the video. Mbeke is a first grade clown, and his apparent fondness for the tyrant Mugabe is profoundly disturbing. Of COURSE there is a crisis in Zimbabwe for make no mistake Mugabe intends to retain power - even against the will of the Zimbabwean people. Perhaps that is what makes him such a heroic figure for fellow African leaders? Democracy as we understand it and Africa make strange bed fellows.
