Zimbabwe is a sovereign state and not a province of Botswana, we don't need anyone to dictate or lecture to us on how Zimbabwe should be governed, not even western-sponsored bodies like MISA, SAMDEF, BOCISCOZ or Survival International.Before spotting a speck in the eye of Zimbabwe, the aforenamed should remove logs in their eyes and be concerned about issues affecting Botswana. Right now the former National team coach, David Bright earned a paltry salary while his colleague, Colwyn Rowe, a British national, earned a hefty salary, this is a clear sign of lack of patriotism and racial discrimination practised by BFA, after 41 years of independence! BTV mainly airs BBC programmes and English soccer as if there are no football teams in Botswana. Our compatriot, Elvis Mhlauli and other Zimbabweans are languishing in jail while a former Air Botswana General, Captain Brian Pocock, a British national, has been exonerated for fraud and corruption. The whites in the retail and tourist industry masquerade as foreign investors and illtreat their workers with impunity as if they are above the law. Most hotels here do not allow Batswana to purchase in forex, it's a privilege reserved only for foreigners. We never write about these issues in our press because we regard Botswana as a sovereign state.
I would like to applaud the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Lt. Gen. Merafhe for his observation that Zimbabweans have the capacity to solve their own problems without external interference, Merafhe respects our sovereignty and we hold him in high esteem for that. He is the best Foreign Affairs Minister in the whole world. Mugabe's wisdom, experience and achievements are peerless and beyond compare, there is no way Zimbabwe can experience problems under such an intelligent man, the problems in Zimbabwe are a result of colonialism, drought and economic sabotage by the Western countries and some forex dealers. Zambia's Vice President, Lupiya Banda has hailed Mugabe as the greatest leader ever. Lupiya Banda is a genius and a true African. Zimbabwe, under the exemplary leadership of Mugabe, has contributed immensely to the stability, tranquility and development of Africa, Mugabe should therefore win the March elections so that Africa remains stable ahead of the 2010 world cup. Zimbabwe contributed a lot towards the South African liberation and we are proud that South Africa will host the 2010 world cup after our great sacrifices and contribution towards its independence. The former ANC president and Nobel Prize laureate, Chief Albert Luthuli was born in Zimbabwe. When war broke out in Mozambique and DRC, we deployed our troops to restore order. We also prevented a potential coup in Equatorial Guinea, during the 80's Zimbabweans taught in nearly every school in Botswana.
