Hallo mense,
Ek is nuut op hierdie Nuus Groep en wil maar net graag weet wat julle mense
dink van die huidige situasie in Zimbabwe, en die moontlike risiko in die
toekoms vir Suid Afrika...

Wel kort weg gesê Gerhard, dis plain weg stront dat oom Thabo nog nie vir
oom Robert 'n snot klap gaan gee het nie. Die internasionale gemeenskap sal
met strenger sanksies voorendag moet kom. En sanksies teen die lande wat vir
ou Robert wil help.
Groete

Welkom Gerhard,

Jong die situasie in Zim is om die minste te sê skokkend. Die uitvloei
daarvan gaan wees dat die land sonder kos gaan wees en ons regering sal moet
help. Mense regte jy weet........ almal moet kos hê en kom ons vergeet nou
maar eers van almal wat honger ly in ons land en ook nie na gekyk word nie.

Thabo se "stille diplomasie" voorspel nie goeie dinge vir blanke boere in
Suid-Afrika nie. Op hierdie stadium word blanke boere hier alreeds vermoor
en die werk wat ingesit word om dit te bekamp is ontoereikend om die minste
te sê. Ek kan aan veel krasser en beskrywender byvoeglike naamwoorde dink.

Genoeg gekerm om myself vir 'n week swartgallig te maak. Vertel ons eerder
van jouself. Hoe het jy op hierdie groep afgekom?
Sakkie

Ek dink die teorie is dat Robert net soos Hitler aan 'n geslagsiekte ly wat
sy brein aantas. Niemand by sy volle positiewe kan so blatant idioties wees
nie.

Oor honderd jaar as ons nie hier is om dit te sien
nie, gaan daar weer swart slawe wees en
koloniealismes. Afrikane gebruik nie hulle
hulpbronne nie en een of ander tyd gaan iemand dit
sien en dit wil kom vat.

Teoreties kan 'n land met olie, diamant, uraan en
ediliese strande en natuurskoon, se mense soos die
arabiese sjeiks leef - as hulle hulle hulpbronne
reg gebruik en ophou met mekaar baklei.

Ek weet dit is ons geaardheid om te spot - maar dinge raak 'n bietjie erg
daar in Zimbabwe.
Die buitewêreld kry glad nie die nuusdekking en die ware feite van wat daar
tans aangaan nie.
Dit is al hopeloos te laat vir die OAU om te gaan praat.
Dit is te laat om die Statebond in kennis te stel.
Hier is Kofi Annan se faksnommer by die VN.
Miskien as genoeg mense van oral 'n bietjie vuur onder hom maak kan hy aan
iets dink wat gedoen behoort te word .

Demented Bob wil nie eers na Thabo luister nie - so hy sal nie eers 'n
petisie lees nie:))))
Nee, ek dink daar faks na Kofi Annan behoort die ding te doen - al moet hy
net optree om van die fakse, en al die papier wat hulle moet gebruik,
ontslae te raak.
Petisies werk mos nie - die opstellers skryf mos sommer self fiktiewe name
in en teken die goed.
Uiters ongeloofwaardig
Annette
