Out of date's one way of putting it. :)

ZanuPF are the party that have ruled Zimbabwe since independence, as led by Robert Mugabe.
Thanks Maehara, appreciate you letting me know..

Being in Zimbabwe i thought you would only be to aware of this.

But on the poltical front, im so worried that the next elections will cause civil war and will destroy all the good work of ZImbabwe cricket not to mention the improvements made by the unitry government in improving the conditions of Zimbabwe.

sloan im very surprised you not aware of the ZANUPF.

Im not having a go at you, please dont think that i am.

But its usually the first thing that is talked about in relation to Zimbabwe, and zimbabwean cricket.

Would anyone else disagree?

edit*
thinking about it some more...please research this if your going back to Zim....as the ZANUPF "acquaintances" would be one of the most dangerous people a british zimbabwean would run into on the street(Gus Mackay would be the exception, no one would dare mess with him).

All the farm killings/random bashings are from these fellas. And they are everywhere

You guys seem to be making a meal out of this ZanuPF thing. The thing is that if you stay out of their way they will stay out of yours. Henry Olonga can come to Zimbabwe anytime he so wishes and I bet you nothing will happen to him. If you look at it Im sure part of his family stays here if not in Zambia or something but what I do know is that his brother plays for the National Rugby team. And CIVIL WAR???? Nothing of the sort will ever happen in Zimbabwe. Zimbabweans arent that sort of people. They would rather focus their energy on where to find their next meal than taking arms. I think this is were the ugly side of the Authorities come into the picture coz if the people ever deside to to go against them they will be crashed with such a force that the "war" wont last an hour. But otherwise Zimbabwe is a lovely and peaceful country.

i thought that Olonga had a death warrant on his head if he came back to zim, but they said they wont hurt his family though.

he said something along those lines in an interview.
