Harare(ZimEye)Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai is still in the dark about deals entered into by President Robert Mugabe with Equatorial Guinea president Teodoro Obiang Nguema during a surprise visit to Zimbabwe on Monday.
A number of deals signed during a 6 hour-long meeting (private media journalists were barred from) are still undisclosed to Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai and Welshman Ncube(leader of the (second MDC faction).

Tsvangirai’s spokesman Luke Tamborinyoka told ZimEye on Thursday morning:
“We are completely in the dark about that matter, and the deals to that meeting. We are completely in the dark,
“No explanation [has been received] there has been no cabinet meeting,” said Tamborinyoka.
Equatorial Guinea’s Nguema flew into Harare Monday morning and was at the Harare International Airport met only by officials from Robert Mugabe’s ZANU PF party: acting President John Nkomo, Acting Foreign Affairs Minister Nicholas Goche and several other ZANU PF officials. A secret meeting with Robert Mugabe then followed after which stretched into the sixth hour.
Newsday’s Veneranda Langa who interviewed Welshman Ncube and other ministers reported:
the Industry and Commerce minister, professed ignorance about the agreements signed between the two countries, some of which have a bearing on his ministry.
“I am not privy to the agreements as I was not involved,” he said.
“I am not able to comment on something I do not know as nobody from my ministry was involved and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will be the best to say why they did not involve us.”
Information Communication Technology minister Nelson Chamisa said: “That is news to me.
“I am not aware of anything that was signed about information and communication as I was not involved in the discussions and did not know about Nguema’s visit.”
Nguema left the country on Tuesday after the two countries signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on Special Co-operation “that will create mechanisms for bilateral co-operation and debt settling”.
Goche signed a raft of MoUs on behalf of Zimbabwe.
They included agreements to develop programmes in education and training, public administration, defence and security, support for Equatorial Guinea’s industrialisation programme, agriculture, agro-industry and livestock production.
The two countries also agreed to set up specific projects in mining, infrastructure development, communication and commerce.
Equatorial Guinea requested a comprehensive list of consumer goods produced in Zimbabwe and there was an undertaking experts from both countries would develop programmes and projects for consideration as a matter of urgency.
Nguema last visited Zimbabwe in 2006 when he officially opened the Harare Agricultural Show.
His visit culminated in a number of deals that included an agreement to supply Zimbabwe with fuel and for hospitality chain African Sun to build a hotel in the oil-rich country.
But the deals collapsed with African Sun being forced out of Equitorial Guinea unceremoniously.
Nguema is classified as one of the most brutal dictators in Africa.
Like President Mugabe, he considers himself a victim of Western imperialist manoeuvres.
He got into power in 1979 after ousting his uncle Francisco Macias Nguema, whom he executed in a bloody military coup.

  1. Good facts Bungane but Zimbabwe is nowhere near Zambia in it’s politico-geomorphology. The issue here is not about “kicking out presidents”. You can ‘kick out’ three presidents in a year and yet still remain the same Zambia. In your past 20 years post-Kaunda, what tangibles does Zambia have that are better than Zimbabwe? We want more of fundamentals than importing Western democracy and foisting it on ‘neonatal’ African states. Zambia still remains as poor as it was under Kaunda. Things only got worse in Zimbabwe after the land reform fracas in 2000. Worth noting is that Britain raw nerve had been touched and the then ruling party (ZANU PF) went ballistic, forgetting the voice of reason all the way. And can you fight Western machinations with closed minds? No! You should better understand that we are in the grip of Western hegemony. True, Mugabe must go, ZANU PF blundered big time but that can only be an end, not the means. We are suffering because the majority of Zimbabweans have failed to see beyond the veneer. Either we sell our souls for a morsel of food and remain in the same bracket with Zambia or we drop the shackles of slavery and poverty and liberate ourselves from:
    (a) Western oppression, first and foremost and then;
    (b) Oppression by our very own people, secondly after winning the first war.

  2. I thank the Editor for this opportunity, in Zambia we had Kaunda for 27years, Chiluba for 10years(MHSRIP),Mwanawasa for 7 years(MHSRIP) Banda for 3 years and we just democratically elected our 5th Republican President Mr Michael Chilufya Sata, here is the irony, Zimbabwe has been independent for 31 years going for 32 soon and you guys still can’t kick Mugabe out. Shame!!! You better ask Zambia for Independence Struggle Advice!!!!

  5. That is how shallow you are if you believe that it was Chematama who made life better in 2009.Hamuna kusiyana nevana vanonyengedzerwa nema sweets.You are so obssessed about age whereas some of us look at the mental power of the individual,Chematama dull as he is what one good thing has he done for the country ever since he took office?He is probably well known for wrong things and i need not mention them because you already know some of his misdeeds..

  6. bla Miki na chando kupisa makanganwa chazuro nehope. 2008 makange maonda kunge tsono nenzara. Come chamatama mafuta manji maakutaura zvakapusa. Who in hs right mind wud want to b taken back to 2008 by yo party

  7. Chando kupisa u ar an idiot. Whether u like it or nt the end is nigh. Its clear muchiri ipapo cz of the violence yamunoita kuvana vezimbabwe. I understand why uchiita hasha ukangonzwa kuti tsvangirai. U ar so bitter why? Those ar th signs. The fact tht u want to be represented by someone who needs to rest shws mapererwa. Muri madofo chaiwo. Ndosaka muchifunga kuti diesel rinobuda mudombo. U and yo bla miki ar the worst idiots tht i have ever heard of.

  9. Kule kule makapusiswa namai venyu vaikuudzai kuti chinhu chenyu cheweti chinoshandiswa sei uye pai. muri rabishi yemunhu kule kule endi the gen’i yenyu yembwa iyo. Tsvangirai is nothing but just a ceremonial Prime Minister whose major role is to officiate small functions and opening of newly graded rural roads chete. Kumwe uku haakwani uyu

  10. To all u zanu sympathisers mapeche ana mai venyu, zvirikupera manje manje izvi. ANONYMOUS i agree with u and i ve been telling mhata dzakaita saBla Miki actually he is Bla Mbiti that zanu wil perish just like the nazi and Hitler. WE WILL RUN THIS BELOVED COUNTRY IN PEACE AND PROSPERITY AFTER THIS EVIL REGIME IS COMPLETELY OVERTHROWN. chinja maitiro. Tsvangson is the next president even denga has confirmed this.

  13. At least that was honest Mavambo. Good thing is that Zanu will not sort the succession issue well. It will be a mercy when they do.

  14. Fact. These 2 leaders are Jesuits and Freemasons.Vaitopanana mazano ekuti vouraisa vanhu vangani nehurombo, nzara,AIDS ne violence vari muchitema.These leaders play their part in building the foundation of a coming NWO under Roman Catholic Jesuits who worship Satan. Makambozvibvunza here kuti nei these 2 dictators are always welcome kuVatican yet Mugabe is banned from travelling 2 Europe?

  15. kana zvakakona vana Hitler,Mussolini,Idi Amin,Taylor,Hussein,Ggabo,Mubarak,Gaddafi, you name them,zvozokona imimi nokuti zvadii?all these culprits vaizviti vakangwara but they proved themselvs wrong when the time came.Kana ari Gaddafi Libya yakamuitira diki kwazvo vakomana vasvika.Chisingaperi chinoshura.

  16. @Mutengesi (weZimbabwe). If it’s MDC-T and ZANU PF, why is Chematama whining? You are right about Simba going under-ground and lacking seriousness. Am frustrated as much as you are frustrated by Tsvangirai’s Locardia saga, himself also being frustrated by Mugabe’s non-reporting; Mugabe is also frustrated by strange bed-fellows in the GNU and the whole nation is frustrated by this stalemate and non-functionality. You know what, if ZANU PF sorts out its succession mess, we are still in for a few more years of the monster party defecating and urinating on Zimbabweans, just the way it has done for decades on end. Forget the sell-out party! Our hope is on Mavambo with a more serious leadership or ZAPU minus tribal connotations.

  18. How on earth could Ka chamisa be informed of the discussions that took place between president RGM and the visiting president. Chamisa, your name cannot be mentioned in the history of Zimbabwe. You have done nothing that we can cherish,besides zvevasikana chete.

  19. GOOD JOB MUGABE…DON’T TELL THAT TRAITOR FOOL ANYTHING BCUZ HE RUNS TO HIS WESTERN BAAS TO UPDATE HIM…PLEASE HAVE ELECTIONS ASAP TO REMOVE THESE STUPID MDC HOUSE N.I.G.G.E.R.S

  20. MDC guys seem not to have facts on all topics that they comment on. They only rely on hate language why? Zanu pf seem to argue using facts.

  21. change shall come vana bla miki. Whether u like it or nt. U ar no longer th majority in parliament, yu cannot call 4 an election without consulting chematama nd ncube. U cant print money anymre, all councils including some rural ava achematama. Bla miki and yo fellow cdes ar dreaming while yo party is slowly dying. Makaedza kudaidzira election muna 2011 zvikaramba. Ko makakaregerei kuita hezvo ndimi varidzi venyika. By the way bla miki wht happened to yo anti sanctions petition yamaitipondera? Akazobviswa here masanctions?

  23. The fact that u beat the pple whom u claim 2 empower ds’nt give u their vote.Call a free an fair election anyday an zanu pf is dead an buried.Anyway if u went 2 skul u wil know dat no government has ever won a war against its own pple.Mugabe expired in 1996

  25. Tsvangirai, invite your guest and tell us the outcomes of your deals. Isusu we wont tell you.

  26. he doesnt need to know anything about the deals coz he never told his colleagues in government the deals he made in gabon and morroco.he visited these two countries for as yet unexplained reasons…so whats good for the goose must be good for the gander..

  27. It is sometimes encouraged to keep your ignorance or stupidity hidden than to go public like the lost chando kupisa. the name starts telling us more already. shame on you.

  28. Hanzi Mavambo. That is a stupid party of a few frustrated. Who in his sense would support a third party? There is absolutely no political space for anybody not. It is MDC-T and ZANU.Honestly anyone in Mavambo now is daydreaming. Where is Simba anyway;Is that the stuff serious politicians are made of?

  29. The President of Zimbabwe does not report to Prime Minister Tsvangirai. The President may brief him on any agreements signed if he feels its necessary to do so

  31. The GPA did not say there sis joint presidency in the country.
    Since when do ministers get invited to all functions of the head of state.
    The NewsDay journalists ignorance is exasperating.

  32. Ki!ki!ki!ki!ki!ki!, ndazonakirwa zvangu.These MDC fools are only there to make numbers and to make noise in government,the really power is in ZANU full stop.Surely how do you continue working with people who are pre-occupied with legalisation of c-h-i-h-u-r-e,fighting the clerk of parliament as if is the one who told them to vote for the speaker of parliament with a show of an open palm,now we here the minister of housing(Mutsekiwa of MDC-Theresa) is busy dishing out Gvt housing to kids as young as six months,whats that?Ukuwo the minister of computers claims he was never consulted,over what?Bhora mberi Gushungo,nyika ifambire mberi.IF you remain firm like this we may not even need election just park and contain them,vamuhapwa dzedu kwekuenda hapana.Icho!

  33. The dismantling of this stupid coalition government is well overdue.We are tired of the childish games being played by all the parties. So?

  34. Don’t worry man. You’ll be updated. It’s only yesterday that Nguema left. Bob will invite you for a briefing when he feels like. Don’t raise your expectations – he may not. We call that GNU. And when we say ELECTIONS, everyone begins to dig in. Why? We have always said this GNU is a project for MDC-T, MDC-M/N and ZANU PF to siphon national resources for personal aggrandizement. Isu Mavambo taakudawo. We had 8% of the presidential vote. Shouldn’t we be party to the GNU (at principal level)? MDC-N/M should not be principals coz they have MPs and senators, who aptly represent them in ministerial allocations. Tibvirepo Tsvangirai! Muri kuzivana…
