News from within Zimbabwe

I have been trying, without success to access local news sites from within Zimbabwe to try and see what rubbish the Mugabe media is trying to shove down people's throats - unfortunately, I think either the hack attacks have taken their toll or the news sites themselves are just unreachable!
However, I was able to access the "newsnet" site of the ZBC and Mweb.co.zw..

On the Mweb page I noted a headline from the Chronicle which proclaims " Lets Bury Our Political Differences: Chihuri" - the kink is HERE and I hope that someone can access it and tell me what this story is about.. but, given the statement reported, i am speculating that this may be a signal that Supreme Commander Field Marshal Commissioner General Chihuri of the ZANU-pf / Robert Mugabe personal militia may be starting to feel a little unsettled?

Whilst I am dying to see what this is about, if my suspicions are correct, someone needs to point out that the best way to bury the political differences, particularly within the police means the removal of all political appointees, political commissars and biased officers who police for the party, instead of the nation! And that will have to start with the departure of Chihuri from the office he has used to destroy the Zimbabwe Republic Police and semblance of law and order within the country! Chihuri, take your cap off your head and read the badge - it says "Pro Lege - Pro Patria - Pro Populo" - that is Latin and it means the following - Pro Lege (For the Legion/company) - i.e - for the good of the force.. Pro Patria (for the country) - i.e not for the party!.. Pro Populo (for the people) - erm did this one slip our minds? or perhaps only zanu-pf are people????
Now, having taken the cap off your head - give it to someone who can actually be a police officer and fulfil the requirements of the post!

Reading the "newsnet" site is yet another joke which, if were not so sad would be totally funny.
they carry this story about the police's "crack crime team" in a shoot out with the bad guys.. The police has a "crack crime team"?????? Insofar as I am aware, there is but one man who effectively chases down the armed criminals in Harare - and he is a neighbourhood watch member who uses his own vehicle and is virtually a one man police force. He operates in the "high density areas" and is extremely efficient and effective. I will not put his name down here because that will, undoubtedly result in his removal and, therefore, and end to all policing! Suffice it to say he is black, has very few resources but uses them all to prop the police up! To the best of my knowledge, this guy is involved regularly in shootouts with real criminals and is a deadly force for the bad guys to reckon with - and, in reality, he is not even a real police officer. And the so called regular members of the force are either not interested or completely unable to keep up with him.. or the bad guys! Hopefully, once things change, people like this can be integrated and provided with resources to really be a pain to criminals! I would certainly like to work with him again.

Apart from that - the site reports on a number of items, but seems to know who the ministers are - which is a little strange.. seeing as we do not actually have a government and ministries are not allocated... ho hum - life in Zimbabwe!

I am anticipating a short break from blogging as my ISP is changing and I may not have regular access again until the 6th. I will try though!

Later.
