The registration of the truck was AMERICAN. It was a USAID truck. It has been photographed many times.
The UK Foreign office rushed to call it a genuine accident when they found this out. Why?

Mugabe and ZanuPF have nothing to gain from this, think about it. Without an inclusive government, the west could easily continue sanctions citing a corrupt government.
Your article is woefully misguided. The commercial farmers who feel betrayed by tsvangirai are the only beneficiaries of harm to him and his wife.

I agree with Nancy. It seems to me to be too much of a coincidence that the vehicle in which Mr & Mrs Tsvangirai were travelling (in the centre of their convoy) just happened to be the one hit by the truck. British interests would not be served by the assassination of Mr Tsvangirai or his wife. Mugabe and ZanuPF interests are served by this so called “accident”. International media and aid agencies seem too willing to sweep the suspicious circumstances of this assassination attempt under the carpet, and I thank Nancy Reys for asking the right questions. I fear thet the Zimbabwean Police and Judicial system are too corrupt to take the necessary action.

Malamba is not Mashona name, so perhaps you are from another African country, or are Ndebele. Since Mugabe’s atrocities against the Ndebele are infamous, I must assume you are not Zimbabwean at all or else have been drinking too much “malamba”.

I am not british, nor are my sources, most of which are in South Africa.

Your analysis ignores the history of Mugabe’s murderous destruction of that country, his arrest of democracy advocates, harassment of the opposition by arrest, beatings, and arson of their houses, and don’t forget things like the Kabila/diamond connection.

I come from the region and have been following this story closely. If there is any susciption at all concerning this accident, which I doubt very much, then intelligent analysis should lead you to the door of the British govt.

Who would benefit from the elimination of Tsvangirai? Is it Mugabe who has been very well covered by Tsvangirai or the British who were angered by his joining the government and his call for the liftinh of sanctions?

I know Zimbabwe is an emotion story especially with the British who control most of the press and to that extension most people’s thinking. But intelligence has to prevail. If there is anything at all to this accident then it is the British.
