I stand corrected
Zimbabweans they thought SA would be on fire by now, thats not going to happen, not in our lifetime, not with all the lessons we drew from around the continent and the world. Unlike you, we're not obssessed with 'colonial masters' and the symbols they left in our country, those sysmbols have signatures of South Africans who gave of their labour, their time and their lives, because of that and logical reason we won't destroy them. You're obssessed with destroying anything and everything that represent your colonial master but cross borders to sell your souls to them, you follow your colonial masters to England to serve them, isn't that a double standard?. I salute your peers who remained in Zimbabwe.
I DONT THINK ANC would ever be compared to Zanu pf you can at least compare it to the PAC. In the eighties it was the zimbabweans accusing south africans for sitting back, necklacing each other, singing a few freedoms songs, did some toyi-toying while waiting their turn in the back of a truck to be banished to the "bantustans"; and so it seemed.
Zimbabweans wondered loudly why south africans would not take arms and fight a "real" guerilla war agains minority rule as zimbabweans had done in the 70's.
To give you another historical percepective, it has been stated that the reason mugabe's party found the PAC as a natural ally was that organization's militancy and willingness to confront the apartheid regime at it's foundation- it's military.
yeah rip you just spoke out of your a** on this one. i agree with munetsi, it's early days in south africa to say that we've managed to learn from the continent. i also agree with munetsi on the sadc f***-ups. i've never seen a more useless regional organisation than sadc. the ruling party in south africa has not shown that it has learnt from the rest of the continent - or maybe it's because they've got a bunch of retards being the face of the organisation while the really decent individuals shake their heads in dismay. liberation movements are always going to expect more in repayment that what they deserve - there is always a price to freedom.
