Malanding,

Honestly, I have lost every iota of respect for this archbishop. Reports that he called for the UK to invade Zimbabwe makes me wonder whether he has at all found God. Where on earth has a British-led invasion brought success or peace to the invaded? Isn't Iraq and Afghanistan clear testimony to that? Oh yes, they claim they brought peace to Sierra Leone, but go to Freetown and ask the people their version of peace. Ncube sounds like a blood thirsty "war Bishop" who wants innocent people to suffer. Is he taking solace from some of the suffering being seen around the world where the UK is involved? I hope though that he is able to defend the charges leveled against him.

If I may, I would like to ask you read the May edition of New African (or may be you already have). It shows in detail the conspiracy being machinated against Mugabe. 

Regards,
Omar
