        @VascoDaGappah you must be kidding me, may you need to undergo some little tutorial on how Europe underdeveloped Africa and how the western countries destroy Zimbabwe just because Mugabe refused to become their puppet

        BBC's propaganda , coupled with Britain's backing, made Zimbabwe a hell, thro wrong rallying, demonizing Mugabe for selfish ends

        Was #Britain responsible for crumbling #Zimbabwean #Economy ?. Let's use some rationalism here, We find solace in blaming our failure on some one else as though gross mistakes weren't made. #Zimbabwe must get out of the blame game and move toward. Let #Justice be done

        He was just being unnecessarily stubborn, did Zimbabwe suffer as much as South Africans? Why didn’t Mandela drive out white? No country is an island. Wat has Zimbabwe produced in 37yrs? Can u compare SA & ZM? Why is 1 better than the other?

        You know what Mr. Writer, I and most st of us in Africa don't really care about what you guys write about our continent and it's leaders cos we are well informed and we know how to form our own opinion and when the dust settles, people will see him as the hero that he is.

        Even if I want to watch a news item about Britain, my safest bet is MSNBC.

        I can't believe some people here are jumping to the BBC'S bandwagon. They almost never covers anything positive about this our continent yet you guys seem to rate their news items? Smh
