Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

1. Stung by the recent detention and deportation of
former Bulawayo mayor Joshua Malinga at Gatwick Airport
(London) and Sweden's refusal of visas to four ZANU-PF
women legislators, an editorial in the August 5 edition of
the government-controlled daily "The Herald" calls on the
government of Zimbabwe to hit back. Under headline "Zim
should take retaliatory steps" the paper comments:
2. ". . .It is now time for Zimbabwe to consider
implementing the eye for an eye rule. . .The
international community should not cry foul when
government puts in place measures that will in turn
prohibit the movement of some Westerners to
Zimbabwe. . .The government should now take
retaliatory steps, which should include the
withdrawal of passports from political
opponents. . . ."
