It is inconceivable that a prestigious football event can be held in a country that holds hands with the wickedness of President Mugabe

In today's Age, Peter Roebuck wrote another article on Zimbabwe. He should be congratulated for continuing to keep the issue in the public spotlight.

Dozer,
Unfortunately, Get ready for another ZIM, Its called SA.
Its bigger and a lot more populated than Zim, it will take a little longer than with what happened in Zim, due to there being more people in power. The cultural aspect is much larger than Zim, hence the 26 official languages in SA, which I personally think will diminish over the next few years and will probably be Xhosa and English. I would not be surprised if Port Elizabeth becomes the new trading mecca in SA in time to come, as PE has become a focal point of world trade, the advent of the Nelson Mandela statue, designed and approved for construction in PE,if it transpires the 2010 will take place in PE.
A lot is going to happen over the next 12 months...watch this space for more...

Mick V,
You asked Dozer in one of your dicussions as to what is the relationship between South Africa and Zimbabwe? If I may comment on one of the aspects that may shed some light on this: Zimbabwe is geographically "land-locked" surrounding it are country's that are in one instance under british rule. the other side is wracked with famine, to the south is South Africa, thus making Zimbabwe one of the major gateways to reach South Africa for the arrival of 2010 and all countries North of Zim's Borders.

Congratulations to the Australian government for banning the cricket tour to Zimbabwe. Jeers to the UN for electing Zimbabwe to head the UN commission for sustainable development. Oxymoron, anyone?
