In jail: Zimbabwe police sergeant who dared to use Robert Mugabe's loo
Source: The Guardian

When the call of nature comes, it cannot always be denied. Few have answered it in such an unfortunate fashion as Alois Mabhunu.

While on duty at a trade fair, the Zimbabwean police sergeant could not hold on and allegedly dashed to the nearest toilet – disastrously, it transpired, as it was reserved for President Robert Mugabe.

He was arrested and imprisoned on suspicion of invading the presidential privy.

The incident happened at the annual Zimbabwe International Trade Fair (ZITF) in the western city of Bulawayo, according to local radio station VOP.

30. Mugabe COMPARED HIMSELF to Hitler. Nice reading comprehension skills.
Or not.

You, for supporting a murderous dictator, are the disgusting one.

4. No media in the world could make Mugabe look like anything other than a brutal dictator.
Which he is.

Maybe Mugabe's propaganda could make him look good.

19. Robert, is that you? He tried to murder the presidential candidate running against him.
On DU I've seen all sorts of crazies:

Supporters of Somalian pirates, Kim Jong Il, and Robert Mugabe.

You won't last long.

32. This is a prime example of what I call mirror-image-ism
People like Bush and Blair, like Reagan and Thatcher before them, assumed that the world is divided into the Good Guys and the Axis of Evil. 'You are either with us or against us', and viciously oppressive dictators were OK so long as they were on 'our side'. People who opposed these dictators were clearly pro-terrorism and against Freedom.

There is a mirror-image viewpoint which is startlingly similar. It assumes that American and its allies, or sometimes the West in general, are an Axis of Evil, and that anyone opposed to them, even a viciously oppressive dictator, must be a decent person, and those opposed to such dictators must be Bush-lovers, racists, warmongers, or in the pay of such.

There is no Axis of Evil, but there are plenty of nasty dictators on all sides, and we shouldn't be supporting them either because they're allies or opponents of America or Britain.

And there are many black people in Zimbabwe in opposition to Mugabe.

21. My thoughts are not important
it's the double standards used by the racist posters that ruffle my feathers.Can any of you protesters verify any of your allegations,the European and American media hate the man because he took away the stolen land of the white intruders?.Lies are a staple of the western land grabbers and their supporters.

29. "My thoughts are not important" is the first intelligent thing you've said here.
If you love Mugabe so much, go move to Zimbabwe. That is, if you don't already live there.

10. p.s.
Mugabe isn't alone. His generals are a particularly nasty bunch of people and noone believes that getting rid of Mad Bob will be the end of the problem.

14. are you a black Zimbabwe citizen?
because if you are not, maybe you should not speak for them. They spoke for themselves pretty well in the elections.

This can't possibly be for real.

17. True
I have been studying this a while, as well has having friends in the Zimbabwe expat community

Mugabe is NOT Zimbabwe's Mandela

Mugabe never gave up on violence like Mandela did

The fucker started off bad, and got worse with every year of unchecked power

Something about absolute power corrupts absolutely I think...

there are very few if any in the world.To single out one person you hate and paint him as the worst person on the planet is just nonsense.

28. So Mugabe tries to murder his opponents, and therefore he's just like everyone else?
I sure hope Mugabe isn't paying you in that worthless Zimbabwe currency.

31. Nobody's saying he's the WORST...
Edited on Mon May-30-11 02:25 PM by LeftishBrit
there are other dictators who starve their own people and murder dissidents. And some do it on an even larger scale.

That still doesn't make him admirable, however. Violent dictators are not people to admire or support!

33. That is a cute story, now let me introduce you to Mugabe's bag men
Edited on Mon May-30-11 07:16 PM by Sen. Walter Sobchak
Do not adjust your monitor:



Nicholas van Hoogstraten - Criminal and largest land owner in Zimbabwe



Charles Davy - Second largest land owner in Zimbabwe. Mugabe evicted black farmers so he could expand a game reserve.



John Brendenkamp - Ian Smith's Professional weapons smuggler and... Robert Mugabe's professional weapons smuggler and military advisor. ZANU-PF power broker.



Billy Rautenbach - Mining tycoon and banned from travelling to the United States and European Union for material aide to the Mugabe regime in violating UN sanctions.

Mugabe was in bed with the wealthy whites before the Rhodesian flag was at the bottom of the flag pole, his wrath is purely reserved for the farmers and working class. And without the Rhodesian old money he would be on a meathook in the middle of Harare in mere hours. Mugage also employs ex-South African SAS for his security detail.

5. Maybe the sergeant should have taken the USPS worker's approach.
It's the least he could dump on Mugabe.

The article doesn't describe a shirtless man.

Mugabe is getting more and more insane every day.
