What upsets me a great deal is that Mugabe is going to get off the hook as far as Human Right Charges are concerned.

He has done so much damage to the human beings in Zimbabwe. I am certain that there are a great number of people who have been mentally scarred for life by him.

I was in Zimbabwe for the month of February this year, and it was so very noticable that everyone seemed so very low in spirits. It is no wonder of course!

Even if you were fortunate to have a job, if a child fell ill, it may not be possible to afford to get them to a Doctor, far less pay for his services, the drugs needed, or maybe even a hospital visit.  It was even getting difficult to afford to have a roof over their heads now.

In all their hardships, however, where a few were together I could still hear the laughter every now and again. A Hallmark of the Zimbabwean - bright, cheerful, smiling and friendly faces to greet you.

I have a very heavy heart at what has become of Zimbabwe.

I hope I am wrong, but I honestly can’t see life there ever becoming anywhere near as good as it used to be for most of the people. So very sad and a tragic loss.
