    2 April 2007, by Elvira van Noort in Grahamstown, South Africa. "We are starving; we will eat your teargas" - Zimbabwe National Students Union. Got your attention? Listen up: this is your opportunity to let your voice be heard and tell all AfricaNews readers what you think about Mugabe and his way of governing Zimbabwe!
    What do you think would be a better name for President Robert Gabriel Mugabe? Can you think of a plan of action to better the situation? If you had a minute with Mugabe, what would you say to him?

    Was the reaction from the international community good enough? If you could be President of Zimbabwe for a day what would be the first thing to change? Who are you voting for in 2008: Mugabe or Mugabe?

    Let us all know!

    There might not be a grand prize in this contest but don"t forget: "The future has several names. For the weak, it is the impossible. For the fainthearted, it is the unknown. For the thoughtful and valiant, it is the ideal" – Victor Hugo -
