While Mugabe has been around for a while, I think he now appears as a despot clinging to power by any means available to him.
Mugabe has been accused of all kinds of power abuse in the eighties but it never caused much of a flutter in the west.Now with his land redistribution plan suddenly the western press, specially the ones in England and Australia have put the spotlight on him.
His elections earlier were also controversial but due to the spotlight on the land issue, this last election got a whole lot of coverage in the western press and because everybody in England and Australia wanted him out, this whole hoopla of his election not being a valid one has been raked up.Yes, it may be true, but a lot of elections all over the world have been controversial not to mention the previous elections in Zim itself.
Yes if player security is concerned, its a different matter and needs to be decided by the respective governments.My feeling is that security is a non-issue in Zim and the clamour for boycott is more political then anything else.
