I found this article is interesting, written by Jonathan Clayton from Times Online.

The text messages arrive daily from prisoners who shared my cell in Bulawayo - all of them tell of despair They come every day. Sometimes they plead for help - food, money, assistance in escaping. Sometimes they narrate the latest horrors to befall them. Others just want reassurance that there is another, more sane world beyond Zimbabwe's borders.
Collectively these text messages from my former cellmates in the central prison of Bulawayo, the country's second city, chronicle the inexorable descent into hell of Zimbabwe.

sweet east pearl, I like this story. It's good stuff.

I am not sure if you know Mugabe his history and past, he was once a Hero that freed Zimbabwe from oppression, what makes it so difficult for African leaders to remove the now gone mad hero from power or to go against him, in part out of fear of unrest in their own countries since Mugabe still has a lot of fans true out Africa and he knows that all to well!
