Fom here Mbeki seeks to save Zimbabwe deal to here MDC seeks new Zimbabwe election and I am hating to say I told you so. This is like a Xmas pantomime with the giant Bob not willing to wait for hesitant, indecisive Tsva as he needs to take control of the Kingdom. A playground without leadership for too long time could go to the ---- (insert appropriate enemy here)! Especially since Tsva has been swaggering around feeling important just because he had the support of the playground next door's main man - who incidentally has found out that in his playground you could find yourself locked out with you closest associates running for the hole in the fence!

Well now the dummies and the toys are flying out of the prams! Meanwhile chaos reigns in the playground. Monopoly money loses it appeal and everyone turns to using the enemy's currency.

Next instalment, watch out for it at a theatre near you - unless you are in the playground!
