#1 Sad isn't it? The people actually believe that words out of the mouths of Mbeki and Obasanjo is going to get Bob to leave.

Bob will leave when he feels THREATENED, not when he's getting gentle requests to move on. He'll only be gone when he's dead or when there is a popular uprising, or heaven forfend, someone sends in troops to kick his ass out and save these people.

But don't expect the candy-ass leftist government in South Africa to do it...no way.

Oh, here it is...uh... no that is Ivory Coast...should be over in Jaques pile. Damn! It's missing. Call Mbeki or Obasanjo and see if it went there. We will get back to you, we promise.

#4 Funny, when it was Rhodesia, it was the flower of Africa. See what a little hard work can do.
