Tsvangirai – the world’s first non lawyer to receive award thumbnail
Zimbabwe’s Prime Minister Tsvangirai holds his prestigious awards. Tsvangirai won the International Bar Association award for his fight for human rights; he becomes the first non lawyer to win the award. He was also given the International Lifetime Achievement Award 2009 from the Spanish Foundation Cristóbal Gabarrón, for his fight for peace and democracy. He also had a near miss on the highly acclaimed Nobel Peace prize which was given to US President Barack Obama. (ZimEye, Zimbabwe)

    Congratulations Hon Prime Minister. Stay on point and don’t be distracted by the Left wing. You can trust an dishonest man to do the the dishonest thing so be proactive with your approach. Keep up the fantastic job and remember one thing “Power is the ability to influence the masses to act in a positive way and not the power to hire airheads to beat up innocent women and children- that’s TERRORISM.” For the first time in a long time I’m proud to be Zimbabwean because of your efforts and that of other democrats in the government. Sanity and Justice always prevails at the end the day!!

    why not the president of Zimbabwe rg mugabe who liberated the country from oppressors?

    Iwe Banda, Mugabe has had so many awards, the latest one being a 1995 award granted by Bill Clinton for his successes in Africa.

    Why are so obsessed and possessed with Mugabe’s past. Mugabe should be acting like a Father right now, giving the younger generation a chance to carry on the glory, but alas we see him humiliating, and killing them. Did you se how he disgraced Chamisa in Italy last week? A father should not behanve like that. The glory of a man is his children, and by now Mugabe could have been enjoying and giving advice to these young ones he has rather kept behind the burrel and the bullet.

    I don’t hate Mugabe but obviously he has not been all that admirable and we all ZANU PF, MDC, Mavambo, ZAPU should admit that.

    Lets’ all help Mr Mugabe re-gain his glory by advising him the right way rather than praising him as if he is some angel!

  7. JOHN BANDA on Tue, 13th Oct 2009 2:10 pm 

    yaa,lets praise him for what he did. so derreck you mean history is ********** off. you are rather mad. history counts my friend.

    A rare victory. Great for Zimbabwe.

    Inzwa ka Muface wangu Banda. You guys veZANU PF you are supposed to be teaching us ethics, national pride and core of this reconciliation. I havent’s used any abusive word in my reference to our president and liberation war hero Cde Mugabe, but you have already thrown off another dagger onto this forum.

    I have made it clear that I support Mr Mugabe for what he did during the liberation war effort. However, what I am saying is taht at this time, he should have now been playing the role of a father Zimbabwe, guiding and encouraging the young ones instead of killing them.

    I will give one example of IRRESPONSIBILITY: Why does he call for an election when he knows he will cheat and beat people to death? When he knows that he will not accept defeat? Why does he not come out for once and congratulate his former enemies, the Morgans etc?

    Please Mr Banda whoever you are, let’s think like intelligent people for once!

    Apearances can be deceptive. It is not necessarily the handsome or the eloqent that saves lives. Some of the worst murderers have been drop dead gorgeous. Lucifer was know as the most beatiful angel. Point is should we get bogged down on a mans impression or should we dwell more on what he says and the meaning of what he does.
