You refer to Ncube's alleged "fornication and adultery", which have effectively silenced him, and ended his good work in courageously opposing Mugabe. Mugabe sins are many and horrific, and so the most insignificant perhaps being that surely he was sh*****g Grace some time before Sally died. So no difference there either. But the church married them nevertheless. (a ceremony denied to any other similarly adulterous couples.) The catholic church just wallows in hypocrisy, and has done for centuries... That's unlikely to change.

It is indeed sad that Mandela is not making a more public statement against Mugabe. With his 90th Birthday Celebrations - viewed by all the world - this is his golden moment in which to do so. He could make an appeal to all world leaders on this one, for some REAL ACTION...
