Home Again


I have come home from Pretoria where there is only one story. Why is it so important that Mugabe and Tsvangirai should meet on Monday?
.
Is it because they want to finally settle their dispute peacefully and agree on a Government of National Unity to bring peace and reconciliation to Zimbabwe?
.
No.
.
Is it because Morgan is going to surrender to Bob (or Bob to Morgan)?
.
No.
.
Is it because the supply of forex is now so bad that Gideon Gono is now telling major ministries and major ministers that there is no forex left, either for them personally or for their ministries?
.
Yes.
.
Is it because of fear that bubonic plague takes hold in our country before the cholera is cured?
.
Yes.
.
What will these two men decide on Monday? And who will benefit from their decisions?
.
Will Kgalema Motlanthe show leadership where none has been shown by SADC previously?
.
Who knows?
