Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe's government has published regulations that freeze the prices of a huge range of retail goods, the state press reported yesterday.
Now Mugabe's government is seeking belatedly to repair its image by ridding the country of foreign correspondents, stipulating that overseas media organisations will be required to employ Zimbabweans.

Mugabe's ruling ZANU-PF party, the opposition Movement for Democratic Change and South Africa denied on Monday any role in a "Mugabe exit plan" said by a Zimbabwean newspaper to be aimed at ending the country's worsening political and economic crisis.
Paving the way for Mugabe's reelection, violence has becomes the de facto means of political expression in Zimbabwe.
Robert Mugabe and his war veterans are also undermining the economy of Zimbabwe and surrounding states.

Mugabe's first really ruinous public relations blunder was to embroil himself in needless controversy with the minuscule group, Gays and Lesbians of Zimbabwe, over their inconspicuous display at a book fair later that year.

Mugabe's objective is not the rehabilitation of war veterans which he could have done much earlier by absorbing the war veterans into the national army where their skills are needed; he wants to sit tight but he has played dangerously and foolishly into the hands of the opposition who do not see any sense in his wasteful venture.
And as Mugabe's power has crumbled in the last two years, culminating in a Presidential election he knows he lost, he has increasingly reverted to his origins espousing the same totalitarian principles and using all the same undisguised hate speech he employed in the 1970s at the height of the liberation struggle.

Mugabe is using the food crisis in Zimbabwe to force people to vote for his party, indeed every means to ensure victory are used, from bussing people in from other constituencies to using seriously bad arithmetic in the counting of votes.
The world is waiting for Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe's announcement of his new Cabinet tomorrow, which will indicate whether he intends pursuing a new line by breaking with the Zanu-PF hardliners driving the country's controversial policies.
Mugabe and his Zanu PF elite gambled on the international community being prepared to overlook the fraudulent conduct of the elections.
