MUGABE BASHERS SQUIRT DIESEL AT HIM

ROBERT Mugabe bashers now have the rare oportunity to squirt diesel in his face or throw darts at him. All they have to do is tune in to a new youth website where Mugabe’s face will be bouncing around on the screen. The player who scores the most hits in 120 seconds will set him on fire at the end of the game. The “Mugabe campaign” will be launched on Friday, complete with an online petition, which can be signed by net surfers. The online petition will take place in real time, and according to John Kuhn, the site’s fouinder, it will “voice the revulsion students and South Africans feel at the developing crisis in Zimbabwe”. Even Mugabe himself has been invited to log on to the site and participate. The results of the games and the petition will be-emailed to Mugabe’s office and to the South African government.
