Talks will come to nought

What do we gain from entertaining a losing candidate as our President? The man must just vacate office.
The other thing I don’t seem to understand centres on the mediator, Mbeki. When he was told by the ruling ANC that his continued stay in office was no longer welcome, he didn’t decline being recalled. Instead, he left with dignity. Why can’t he advise President Mugabe to do the same? The mind boggles.
What is Mbeki trying to achieve? It is better not to have a deal at all than to have a deal crafted to accommodate losers with the silly excuse that it’s an all-inclusive government.
Why does it only have to be Kenya and Zimbabwe in this awkward situation? Why then did we go into costly elections if the idea was for some party not to leave office after losing?
I welcome the sacking of Mbeki from power as he had become part of the problem. This time I think he’ll be serious as the MDC is now in a position to tell him to get lost if he tries to come to ZANU-PF’s rescue.
Let Mbeki understand that the assurances being given that there’s no going back on the land reform were just part of the politicking.
We are going to lobby for an investigation into the land reform as well as Mbeki’s rumoured stake in the mining industry.
So let the economy sink while we get justice. After the rule of law has been restored there’s no way the economy will continue to sink.
