Zimbabwe's Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai and his wife Susan have been involved in a car crash which has left her badly hurt, party sources say.

Mr Tsvangirai is said to be lightly injured. The accident is said to have happened on a road south of Harare.

Here's hoping this was simply an accident, but that's possibly a bit too much to ask.

I'm sure I've read about another one of Mugabe's rivals or opponents being killed or injured in a 'car crash' before. This seems like an attempt to bump him off early and it wouldn't surprise me.

Africas been in the news a lot this week too, what with the whole Sudan telling all the NGO's to fuck off as well.

I'm all for charity and humanitarianism, but i think some places really should just be left to fuck themselves over.

Same. I couldn`t give 2 shits about Somalia, no matter what people say. The place is such a hopeless hellhole; I`d let Darwinism take its place. That and I hate pirates.

Like the middle east. 100 years behind the west in evolutionary terms. Should be left to work their backwardness out for themselves.

At this stage it doesn't matter what Mogawhatever does. Its the party he is in partnership with, not the man.

I've literally (2 hours ago) come back from from QuB doing research on development in areas like this, and the ME.

I know lots of people blame religion as the cause of them being fucked up, but it's scary how often a lot of the time it's NGO's not giving a damn about what the people actually want, or lovely groups like the IMF being loansharks. It's development with a Western spin, and whats Western sure as hell isn't working for todays impoverished.

Funny, would have thought Mugabe was higher up than he is. You can see the pattern though, Africa, ME and Central to SE Asia, maybe that's telling us something. I still don't know why any of these guys have ever been topped, if not by a government just someone hired. You get people like Kennedy and Bhutto assassinated, people who could provide better directions, and people like Mugabe and al-Bashir never being touched.

lol, what pattern? There is no pattern, the list ranges from Africa, Middle East, East Asia, South East Asia and Central Asia. Before the 1990's there was a shit load in Europe and South America too, and the odd dictator in South Asia from the likes of Pakistan/Bangladesh

What is it telling us, I don't get what you're trying to get at here

You've got three main places that generally have poor education, poverty or are largely tribal/religious based, breeding gounds for dicators. There's your pattern.

Edit: It seems Tsvangirai's wife has died.

Assassination attempt plain and simple.

The Australian wrote:
President Robert Mugabe's former regime has a long history of assassination plots, mass murder and torture of its opponents since it came to power in 1980.

However, within an hour of Tsvangirai being brought to the private Avenues Clinic, Mugabe and his wife, Grace, arrived to express their condolences, followed by several other senior officials of Mugabe's ZANU(PF) party.

Cross said an early investigation team sent to the spot immediately after the accident occurred reported that the front left tyre had had a blowout. "They were taking videos and pictures and then the police came and arrested them, and took their videos and pictures," he said. "We don't like that."

"That's the big question," he said when asked if there were suspicions of foul play. "We will wait and see. We will demand complete transparency and a thorough investigation."

Tsvangirai was sworn in as prime minister 24 days ago following a power-sharing agreement between ZANU(PF) and the MDC after inconclusive elections last year, although experts say Tsvangirai and the MDC had the upper hand in presidential and parliamentary elections.

MDC officials said Tsvangirai had been issued a new S-class Mercedes Benz for official use as prime minister soon after he was sworn in, but that he appeared to have reverted to the MDC's Landcruiser and a smaller security escort for party business.

Cross confirmed that this week Lovemore Moyo, the MDC's speaker of parliament, had sent his driver from Harare to the western city of Bulawayo with a new government-issued Mercedes limousine, and that it had suffered two burst front tyres. "That was a brand new vehicle, with brand new tyres," he said. "There is something amiss."

It's very sad news re: his wife.

After all the guy has been through and making it to Prime Minister only for this to happen.

How Mugabe still has a strangle hold on the country is beyond me. He should have been taken out ages ago.

Quite.

I was reading somewhere (cant find atm) that he was originally given a brand new S-Class to use. So his driver was doing some short trip, and the two front tyres blew out at the same time. Odd since it's a RWD. Oh, and that the po po seized loadsa photos taken of the crash.

Two things are for certain, they neither help extinguish suspicions of their involvement by doing this and they're doing a crap job of a cover up if they are, which they probably are.
