I did not expect anything to change.

I have been saying for years that the "government of national unity" concept that Mbeki was pushing for Zimbabwe was a scam. It is a standard device in Africa to nullify, co-opt and neutralize a troublesome opposition movement.

I had thought that Tsvangiri was smarter than that. He had the history of what happened to Joshua Nkomo and his Zapu movement as a precedent.
