Malanding,

If this below is all you had to say on this forward I doubt there was any
need for you to clog our mail boxes.

No, the Herald of Harare cannot be 'horomsi,' rather, try 'kanigi'.

If you had contested the validity of the information contained in the
forward instead of saying nothing just to say something, I'd have taken you
more seriously. That is also beside the fact that you have no qualms
forwarding an article or two, now and then, from Jammeh's own 'horomsi' but
won't see similar from a pro-Zimbabwe government paper.

The issue here is that independent minded, inward-searching Africans and
their leaders continue to stand by the people of Zimbabwe in their just
struggle against the people who have wreaked havoc on their lives for
centuries and want to continue to dip their fangs into their bloodstream.

More and more people are coming to the realisation that Britain's is all
just a big pack of lies. Not all are contented to always play second fiddle
even in matters hinging on their very own existence. However much it irks
you, the people of Zimbabwe are going to continue to stand up to injustice
and progressive minded Africans are going to continue to give them our moral
support.

Kabir.
