Mugabe 'flown to South Africa after collapse'
By Tim Butcher in Johannesburg
(Filed: 28/10/2003)


President Robert Mugabe collapsed yesterday and was flown to South Africa for emergency medical treatment, sources in Zimbabwe said last night.

Supporters of Mr Mugabe, 79, were setting up barricades in the capital, Harare, manned by well-armed riot police.

It was reported that senior members of the "Green Bombers", the notorious youth brigades created by Mr Mugabe and responsible for rape, murder and political thuggery, were being flown to the city.

Any transition of power in Zimbabwe would probably be violent as Mr Mugabe's successors in the ruling Zanu-PF party would clash with the opposition Movement for Democratic Change.

2. I can't wait for this guy to die...so long as...

...he's replaced by someone with a serious committment to land reform, and so long as he isn't replaced by someone from the European- and CIA-financed MDC.

3. Morgan Tsvangirai

Leader of the Movement for Democratic Change, a social democratic party.

Mugabe has ruined his nation.

Did you know they don't even have the foreign capital to buy the ink to print their money?

They are out of gas?

25% AIDS rate?

Zimbabwe used to be the breadbasket of Africa.

Check out the MDC website here:

Tsvangirai has been arrested numerous times and Mugabe has threatened him with death? Others, have been tortured, including prominent sitting MP's. :cry:
