Full marks for Mbeki and his quiet diplomacy

WHEN one studies the events in Zimbabwe starting with the lead up to the March and June elections and the current situation clearly shows that Thabo Mbeki is a real political genius.

The South African leader’s quiet diplomacy has paid off. Not in the sense that the western media has been drilling in the minds of everybody exposed to it but a triumph for the billion Africans of all races and tribes who have been on the receiving end of slavery, colonisation, dominance and exploitation by Europeans and their allies for close to two decades.

Mbeki realized that to take on the Europeans and their allies head on was going to be tough so he applied his guerrilla tactics with ingenuity. When he announced his policy of quiet diplomacy most people assumed he meant to use it against and to topple Mugabe and Zanu PF.

Instead the tactic has exposed the true enemy of the freedom loving people of Africa . No, it has not exposed Morgan Tsvangirai and MDC as such but rather and more importantly that they are also victims of blatant blackmail, exploitation and manipulation by the Europeans using their legacy from Rhodes’s, Mussolini’s, Hitler’s, Blair’s, Bush’s.

The weapon used is now THE WESTERN MEDIA.

Quiet diplomacy exposed that the turning point for the worse for Zimbabwe was 1997/8 exactly when MDC was formed with the Western Media going to bed with them and diverted from representing the interests of workers to those of employers instead. It was after the formation of MDC that the polarization with Zanu PF government was born, that the economy started to slide, that sanctions were muted and executed, that the campaign of demonizing Mugabe began and sustained, the resistance to land reform began, a campaign to white wash the evil side of capitalism put in place, a return to divide and rule tactics re-emerged.

The fact that now MDC wants a transfer of power where power sharing has been offered after an election they did not win in spite of blackmailing a whole nation with starvation and economic battering clearly shows who indeed does not respect democracy and the rule of law. The only vociferous voices you now hear against Mugabe, Zanu PF, Mbeki and other progressive forces are those of the son of a British mother in Gaborone and a terror leader from Kenya. Even the Western media is subdued as the unfolding of events expose the true colours of Morgan Tsvangirai’s treachery to genuine African interests.

All the sons and daughters of Africa of all races say "Pamberi na Mbeki" and quiet diplomacy.
