A less-than-subtle message for Thabo Mbeki was flown over New York yesterday to coincide with his address to the UN Security Council.  Hopefully he didn’t miss it.

Meanwhile, Zanu-PF seem to have decided that asking foreign nations to call for election results to be released is treasonous - according to “Justice Minister” Patrick Chinamasa, at least, who’s accusing Morgan Tsvangirai of same.  And delibrately withholding and/or rigging the results of an election is, what, precisely?  The Herald, bastion of quality journalism that it is, also accuses the MDC (based on a letter it has conveniently obtained) of working with the UK to achieve regime change in the country.  Back to our old friend Chinamasa:

“It is clear from the correspondence that Tsvangirai along with Brown are seeking regime change in Zimbabwe, and on the part of Tsvangirai. This is treasonous.”

Note to Chinamasa, and his colleagues: it’s your own people who want regime change, and having the temerity to win an election you thought you’d rigged in your favour isn’t treason.  You’re just not listening.
