Blog entries from: The Bearded Man

Among other things, the opinions of a blogger, writer, singer, son, brother, father and husband. My take on the world in general and one thing in particular - a commentary on the current political climate in Zimbabwe. I am not a journalist, nor a political activist, but I am man with a conscience. Hence, this page is my civic responsibility. The more people that hear about the devastating rule in Zimbabwe and the real problems therein, the better!

Howzit I initially read this story last night - and all it does for me is prove that ZANU PF and Mugabe are not interested in participating in a power-sharing coalition. "Finance Minister Tendai Biti on Monday morning received a live bullet and a handwritten note enclosed in a khaki... [view entry]

Howzit Foreign currency mid-rate updated... -o00o- It is not very often that any of Mugabe's colleagues, former or present, come out with anything worth listening to, but Enos Nkala has added fuel to the fire by stating that Mugabe had Moven Mahachi killed in 2001.
