We expected anyway that the democratic forces which have agreed with us in Zimbabwe would have rallied behind us. But it was a difficult struggle.

The armed struggle is not ending just now. We are upholding a ceasefire. We have our arms with us.

If the choice were made, one for us to lose our sovereignty and become a member of the Commonwealth or remain with our sovereignty and lose the membership of the Commonwealth, I would say let the Commonwealth go.

Dont fight even over girlfriends. The country is full of beautiful women. If you cant get one, come to Mugabe for assistance.

We are no longer going to ask for the land, but we are going to take it without negotiating.

We have fought for our land, we have fought for our sovereignty, small as we are we have won our independence and we are prepared to shed our blood... So, Blair keep your England, and let me keep my Zimbabwe.

If you take men and lock them in a house for five years and tell them to come up with two children and they fail to do that, then we will chop off their heads.
