It is not the people of Zim who vote for Mugabe. They have voted against him since 2000.

It is SADC who are behind him and cheer for him all the time – many of them are ex-”liberation” movements clinging to power and suppressing opposition. It is ONLY SADC who cheer him. AND it is SADC who Mbeki has been working for!

I, like kan-wil-sal, am surprised that you ask the question… “Where will my children go? ”

You are a loyal supporter of Israel. Do you not think that it is a suitable destination for your childern?

You’ve got (too much) chips on your shoulders, I’d advice you to sell some.
You & ilks assisted your aging tyrant by casting some votes for him in the March elections, and now we’re sitting with an unmovable object willing to do anything to cling on power…killing (with impunity) his own people.

I still say Zims, themselves invited this anarchy.Mad Bob was suppose to get no more than 100 votes, if the country was honestly behind the idea for change.
Sorry to say this, Zim (your country) has been reduced to a Coconut republic, with absolutely no currency and a murky vacuum in the leadership. And by looking at things, there’s absolutely nothing you can do about it.

Even if we were to call, national elections tomorrow; you’ll get numbers voting for this power drunk creature.

It is the tragedy of Zimbabwe, the loss of diversity, skills,talent and the attendant disruption of family and community life. The contribution of Jewish industrialists will always invoke mixed reactions but it is a contribution that cannot be ignored. What about their involvement in sports administration from amateur to the biggest sporting institution and symbol in Bulawayo, the oldest soccer club founded in 1926 by Lobengula’s grandsons the community owned Highlanders Football club.

As a Friend of the National Gallery in Bulawayo and a past regular at the no more Bulawayo Music Festival their contribution and support for the arts is also missed. The contribution of the Jewish industrialists in Bulawayo, from retail to manufacturing will invoke always a mixed reaction but is a contribution that created many jobs for our people until before the collapse went into full gear some were taken over by some people’s nephews.

At Camel Primary School where my cousin brother went it was always a wonderful opportunity to appreciate this addition of diversity to the Bulawayo school environment. Having a sister who went to two Adventist schools and I having been to a Presbyterian school.

On the way to the market, or at a Funeral Palour along Jason Moyo Street, the burnt out shell of the Jewish Community centre which an associate on a recent visit from the States says it is a symbol of abandonment of the country by the his people.

Others like Dr Bloch have remained steadfast voices of reason in the chaos.

Now that he has died Zimbabwe’s Life Expectancy rates will probably halve to around 18 years.

The prosecutor at the Rivonia trial was so upset at this that they “turned” one of the Jews to use as a witness, because Percy wanted to prove that Jews were not unpatriotic. Luckily he got bail and escaped the country.

I’m still trying to wrap my mind around the fact that you’ve written an entire blog about the crisis in Zimbabwe… and how it negatively affects jewish people (FTW) !!!
