There are two issues here which can not mix and it is wrong to look at them from a collective perspective. Misguided (religious-wise) Pius Ncube committed acts that are against what his religious denomination and stature therein stand for. Arrogant Robert Mugabe has destroyed the country and shattered the humanity of a country once the apple of Africa's eye. These two issues can not mix and both these excuses of men or uprincipled idiots must account for their actions at some level.

Leave our beloved President out of this because you seem to suggest that he controls the Cassanova's sexual ego.The fact is Pius is a 'horny stud' and I do not see how the President is involved.

we all know that its MUGABE s tricks and C I O to prolong their political milage. What happened to Morgan Tsvangirai. When did it start that media is called before serving summons.

Pius Ncube's public life is centered on morale.He has claimed all these years to be a man of high morale standards and yet he betrayed his own diocese.You live and die by what you preach.It is fair game to reveal those who exploit and take advantage of the gullible .Surely you may not like Mr Mugabe,but what is clear is that Mr Ncube is a fraud.I have always been suspicious of the clergy.What was unveiled with the sex scandals of the roman catholic church in the USA is the tip of the ice berg.Sexual abuse perpetrated by the clergy is a global problem.Do not accuse Mr Mugabe for the Pius Ncube's sins.Obviously it hurts the Brititish to know that the man at the forefront of their recolonization efforts of Zimbabwe under the disguise of human rights abuses is no Saint ,but a fraud.Let me lecture you on human rights.The first human right of a human being is the possesion of his natural resources that include his land.Mere one man one vote without repossession of our land is meaningless.

The West did the same to Mandela, saying he was a criminal; now he is a hero!

I suppose this is newsworthy, but is surely a set-up job to discredit a credible and strident critic.

Human beings are frail and fallible creatures and practising christians would be the first to admit that. Paul the apostle described himself as doing that which he would not do and also as the chiefest of sinners. Aspiring to high ideals and failing to achieve them does not mean one is a hypocrite.

In any event, I find on the evidence that Pius Ncube is a man who has the suffering of his people on his heart and Robert Mugabe does not. The former is trying to do something to improve their lot and the latter is actively making their lot worse.

Who is the better man?

Edward Ryder write :"It is time for Mr. Mugabe to leave office".
No -you've got it wrong!. It was a gross mistake that he was ever allowed to grab power & there have been countless opportunites when he should have left .....
The UK has hidden behind the UN, the AU and South Africa, none of whom is worth a tinkers cuss. The UK was obliged to step in, unilaterally & sort this, years ago

The campaign of disinformation and slander has begun, by a dictatorial regime, whose propaganda machinery is obviously now firing on all misguided cylinders, with fabrications that would have made East Germany's Stasi and the Stalinist Pravda jealous of their efficacy, creativity in fabrication, and distortions of the truth. It is time for Mr. Mugabe to leave office, and to take his minions of sycophants and psychos with him.
