A LINK to learn more about Ari Ben-Menashe, the man Mugabe used to try to set up Tsvangirai (but not mentioned by name in this article).

Government set up Mugabe assassination sting, Zimbabwe opposition leader says

[Excerpt] "At no stage during the first three meetings was the issue of elimination or assassination ever discussed," Tsvangirai said.

The meetings focused on the need "to bridge the communications gap abroad."

At the fourth meeting, secretly filmed in Montreal, Ben-Menashe and his team "raised the issue of elimination and kept on asking strange questions."

Tsvangirai said he became suspicious of the firm's motives and walked out. The opposition later found out Ben-Menashe had been hired by top Zimbabwean officials "to set up the MDC," he said. [End Excerpt]

Media Research Center: [Excerpt] Ari Ben-Menashe appeared three times in the first show, highlighted as an Israeli intelligence officer. PBS reported that "Israeli intelligence officer Ari Ben-Menashe says he was one of half a dozen Israelis sent to Paris at Casey's request to help coordinate arms deliveries" and "Israeli intelligence officer Ari Ben-Menashe claimed that he saw intelligence reports about Casey's trip to Madrid." After Newsweek and The New Republic published their exposés of the sources pushing the October Surprise story, including the fact that Ben-Menashe's wife called him a liar, Frontline's second program admitted: "His credibility with reporters collapsed because some of his assertions proved implausible, particularly his claim about George Bush."

Mugabe can use this "plot" against him to declare martial law and/or seize the ballot boxes for a "recount".

[Mugabe] has told supporters he knew his assassination was hatched last year but did nothing out "for fear of plunging the country into chaos," state television reported Tuesday..

I believe the fine Mr. Mugabe. How magnanimous the gesture on his part, to not take action in this matter. Plunging this well rooted model of democracy and civil rights into chaos would be an unsettling development. Yes, turning the other cheek in a case like this is very much representative of the character of this distinguished civil servant.

The era of colonialism draws to a close and all is sweetness and light again in the continent…

If only 10% said they would vote for Mugabe, then I have a feeling he's really going to get trounced. Of course, we may never know the result.

According to Moyo, Tsvangirai first met executives from the Canadian firm in Britain.

Well, that sounds familiar. Did he meet with any Australian officials while there, as happened in the attempt to set up Trump aides? Australia was also involved here, or rather their media was used to give credibility to the Menashe video against Mugabe's opposition.
