From Mandela himself and the current President. Mugabe should be given an ultimatum to get out or be removed by force. How many more lives are the leaders of the Southern African states prepared to risk. It is now their responsibility to do something or forever bear part of the burden for this tragedy. Do something ANC, or continue to be remembered for doing nothing.

He wants to hold onto power at any cost, until he dies. Nothing will change in Zimbabwe until the murderous madman is gone. Tsvangirai is right not to do a deal that would simply perpetuate Mugabe's grip on power. There is no solution to this crisis other than Mugabe's exit from the stage, preferably to face trial in The Hague. Anything less would be a betrayal of the Zimbabwean people. What is needed is military action, backed by SADC and the UN Security Council, to remove Mugabe by force. Sadly, that's not going to happen.
