I am following Ndlovu's case of tampering with evidence.

Case adjourned, she was feeling unwell so resumption will be 9h15 tomorrow.

Dang, I missed it! Haven't caught the visuals but reading up on her she's one twisted character with a dash of humour grin.

Anyway, this Paul Kagame guy pisses me off. To think I used to approve of him.

I am not surprised....it's their style. Come into Power feeling like the saviour then later turn the tyrant they once condemned.

You thought very wrong indeed

He is a Tutsi. The Tutsis are a minority and are still ruling over the majority Hutus. This was one of the causes("excuse"wink for the genocide against the Tutsis


Believe you me the Hutus will one day take over.

His only crime is his political dissent from Paul Kagame, Kagame is gradually becoming the Kim Jong-Un of Africa

I laugh when ignoramuses sing Kagame's praises. A despot wicked man. When the west is tired of him, we will see his real color

Even if the dissidents threaten his developmental plans, are overseas assassinations necessary like Putin does? And no freedom of speech at home too, plus vote rigging. There's tensions now with SA. Whats big brother saying on your sidegrin?

She was shackled and complained that the shackles been taken off her, the Judge refused instead asking for it to be loosened. She is trying to act psychopathic but she is a serial murderer and can run but not hide.

This is profound.
Looks plain on the surface, but damn profound.
African leaders are not wired to receive criticism, you have freedom of speech, but your freedom after speech is another issue.

Great first point cool but I disagree with u on your last point undecided This guy is assassinating people all over South Africa and Europe. Just last week there was a hit in Mozambique as well.
Assasination will be an extreme action on his part.
Can those guys really pose a political challenge in an election?


And his entire population is scared to criticize him - is he God?
If I pick 10 random Rwandan newspapers, will I find no article criticising Kagame harshly?
I ask this question to gauge the Rwandan political atmosphere because over here such allegations are routinely made
even though you will have found 10 government-critical stories before seeing a favorable one in the same medium
alleging intimidation and total blackout of opposition voices.


Look at China also and all its crazy cultural and electoral reforms in the last month. One guy wakes up one day and decides the fate of millions of people without their consent. I'm not signing up for that. angry
I don't think Kagame has changed a bit.
I have always seen him in the image of strongmen like Lee Kuan Ye and Gaddafi.
There is merit to their style because of the inherent risk in "full-scale freedom"
which is often weaponised into ethnic or group-based hatred by desperate politicians.

You will appreciate the value of stability and development if you have outreached to conflict zones.
This is not to say that despots or dictators should be tolerated or basic freedoms sacrificed but it is important
to create a balance and seek incremental approach to change to avoid plunging the populace into disaster.

The highlighted part is quite striking, i guess there's some truth to it. But there are born-free Rwandans who don't suffer from the war hangover and are longing for their freedoms. They're also denied that. I believe there are political formations within the country that could challenge his rule democratically if he opened up the space and didn't rule with an iron grip. Who gets elected with 99% of the vote - even Mandela didn't have that luxury.

I took a quick guide of private news sites in Rwanda but only 2 made sense. One has an anti-Rusesabagina headline speaking about his "victims" (pic1) and another is not reporting the story at all (pic2).

A better approach is for the opposition to start by taking over provinces one after the other.
It is very hard to gain power(peacefully) at national level if a party does not have strong subnational bases.

The only difference BETWEEN Kagame and Buhari is that one is developing his country while the other is running it down.

What is the true meaning of development, the clothes you wear, the cars you ride, the houses you build or the liberties you enjoy....Let us Africans think deep and act wisely.
We were led more than a century ago into cross-Atlantic slavery on the premise that development carried a materialistic face and we are still struggling to come to terms with the reality that you cannot be moving forward if you trade ease for freedom.

After all Mr Buhari is 'developing Nigeria' with the loans he serially takes..... but at what cost?
