I am revolutionary but still think we are crossing the line into the dark. We may end up as Pakistan, Egypt etc. There is need for morderation so that people of all orientation feel they have a say in governance. I will start investing in mature markets (democratic or those believed to be at least), my kids may face horror for our current celebrations.

It is sad that the likes of Biti and Chamisa had to come without Morgan, their father would have loved to run the country. Mpofu’s tears are tears of joy, I bet he was saying we almost lost the country but the almighty has heard us… there is honor in serving the country hats off to all MDC MPs who attended…
