Of course it is true, the fact finding team from thirteen nations confirmed that it is true.

And I'll bet my bottom dollar that he chooses to believe as the truth that which supports his racist concepts rather than a report published by a team represented by thirteen independent and unbiased nations.

After a 100+ years of Living like Kings, 6 Housemaids for a 3 member family, 250 Farm workers (Cheap), 7 Dogs 1 for the madam to be licking her over-oiled item, 1 for the the down-syndromed son and 5 to chase the black keffurs away, a white man would do anything to continue to live that life. Well, not the Zimbabwean people. I really don't care how its done or how violent it is because I have live don a whiteman's farm since I was born. He used to see me walk 11 Km to the nearest school build by Mugabe. He used to think that we were never gonna amount to anything but we were just our fathers' assurances for future labourers. Well, that same man is in working 6am to 8pm in a call centre and I am his boss here in Europe.

We might be meak or dosile, but we are not dum and stupid. We know where we come from, the only problem, we were not the first to develop the gun but your guns cannot stop our blood to boil to retain whats rightfully ours.

South Africa is a "Watch the Space" nation right now .... do not say I did not warn you.

Powerful words my friend, powerful words! But words can be used to heal, or to destroy. Which are yours?
I will be the first to agree with you, the white man took advantage of the native people of Zimbabwe, just as the whites did in America, and in Australia, and in any other colonial country, and it is to our shame.
I am going to say something now that I have thought about many times in the past, and I’m not saying it as a joke, or to get a cheap laugh out of it. I have reasoned that the white man should never have set foot in Africa, at least not with the idea of taming it. Africa never has been, and never will be tamed. Africa would then have remained the ‘Dark Continent’, avoided at all cost by the rest of the world. Surely then the many evils of the white man would never have contaminated the populace of this huge piece of land, evils such as education, medicine, electricity, telecommunications, transport, and so many more. One real evil I can think of was actually mentioned by you GudoGuru, you wrote that you were not the first to develop guns. You have nailed it there my friend, we invented the gun, but let me tell you something, the people of Africa are the ones who have used the gun to it’s full potential. Every country in Africa spends more on weaponry than it does on the welfare of its people. Every country in Africa has thousands more soldiers than health workers, municipal workers, and educators put together. Every country in Africa plans for war instead of prosperity. Who do they plan to go to war against? Is it the white man? No, it’s their own black neighbours.
GudoGuru, you say that you ‘don’t really care how it’s done or how violent it is’. Surely you cannot mean that! If you do mean what you say then you agree with the following: Mugabe must stay in power, and to do so he must intimidate and kill his own black people so that the survivors have no option but to vote him into power. Do you not know that it is the black people in Zimbabwe who are suffering? Have you not heard of the thousands of black people who have been killed by Mugabe’s thugs? Do you realize that the whites that have died at the hands of Mugabe and his followers are but a drop in the ocean against the blacks that have been killed? Have you ever wondered why thousands of black people are illegally crossing the borders daily into South Africa, Zambia and Mozambique just to escape Zimbabwe?
No GudoGuru, right at this moment in time the threat in Zimbabwe is not from the couple of hundred white farmers who are still on their farms. They cannot make a difference, for good or for bad, even if they wanted to. The problem lies with Mugabe. The Zimbabwean people are some of the most beautiful, caring people in Africa, and why they are saddled with a dictator like Mugabe, nobody knows, they deserve so much better. The people of Zimbabwe are characteristically hard working and conscientious, they are good people, and one would think that after twenty seven years they would be a model nation in Africa, but alas, at the moment they are downtrodden, they are slaves to a tyrant, and one can only hope that sense prevails in the future and that Mugabe will be removed from power.
You wrote of the white man, “He used to think that we were never gonna amount to anything but we were just our fathers' assurances for future labourers.” That may actually be true, but that is history. However, in the here and now what you say actually goes for Mugabe, he: ‘knows that you were never gonna amount to anything but you were just his assurances for future labourers, and voters.’
Tell me GudoGuru, why are you in Europe? Why did you leave Zimbabwe? Did you fear the white man in Zimbabwe? Did you fear the white farmers might take your house? Why did you not stay there and make a difference?

Wow I initially read GudoGudu's post as if he was being sarcastic and talking about Mugabe living the high life. I guess I was wrong.

Incidentally, the Chinese invented gunpowder and first put it to use in weapons, even if they didn't look like "modern" guns.

Ches, I'm sorry if that one sentence appeared to be a 'personal attack'. I assure you I never intended it to be.
