BILL WATCH 6/2010 - 22nd February 2010 - Courtesy of Veritas The Indigenisation and Economic Empowerment (General) Regulations [Statutory Instrument 21/2010] Introduction These regulations, which were gazetted on 29th January, have caused consternation in many quarters.

The one good piece of news this week was that the European Union has decided to retain the targeted sanctions they imposed in 2002 against the corrupt and criminal elements at the top in Zanu-PF. This is because the EU knows by now that Robert Mugabe has no intention of honouring his side of the power sharing agreement - sanctions or no sanctions. The Zanu-PF leadership reneged before; they wil...

Messages of support are pouring in for Bishop Paul Verryn who has provided food, shelter and hope to thousands of destitute asylum seekers, most of whom are Zimbabweans, at the Central Methodist Mission in down-town Johannesburg.

Week ending 11 December 2009 We opened up our Sunday Mail newspaper this week to find a lengthy rant, teeming with salacious lies, from the much-loathed spin doctor Jonathan Moyo. Moyo, clearly anxious to prostrate himself at the feet of the party in the hope of slithering back into the Central committee at the Zanu-PF Congress, is gabbling the required propaganda with all his might.

There are two items that obsess ZanuPF at present: One is the arms embargo and targeted travel ban on individuals, which ZanuPF shrilly denounces as 'illegal sanctions'. The other is the existence of shortwave radio stations that are not under their direct control. The world is clearly not allowed to do things without ZanuPF's permission!

27 August 2009 Zimbabwe: Targeted sanctions must remain in place until the targeted persons and organisations mend their ways. Zanu-PF’s preoccupation with shopping expeditions for 250 of its members, when the nation needs every cent for food and basic services, is outrageous. Led by Vice-President Joice Mujuru, the party’s petulant cries for ‘illegal sanctions’ to be lifted are...

P Mangwende reviews the latest Zimbabwe news available online and offers a commentary. Dear friends Zanupf has absolutely no intention of suddenly becoming honest and genuine in this GNU as proved by their ongoing behaviour as each day passes. MDC-MT are going to up the ante and be prepared for a fight to the bitter end if the intention is to force full compliance with the GPA. ZANUPF t...
