DuckearMugabe reads wrong speech
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-...=socialflow_facebookZimbabwe's President Robert Mugabe has read out the wrong speech at the opening of parliament.
He gave the same one during his state-of-the-nation address on 25 August, when he was heckled by opposition MPs.
His spokesman told the state-run Herald paper the error was because of a mix-up in the president's secretarial office.
The BBC's Brian Hungwe in Harare says tensions were high ahead of the speech and the state broadcaster cancelled its live feed fearing further disruptions.
At least six MPs from the opposition Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) received a text message from a sender called "Death" warning them to behave.
"Warning: Immunity ends in parliament... act wisely by not disturbing the proceedings of parliament," the message on opposition MP Nelson Chamisa's phone said.
Before the 91-year-old president spoke, the parliamentary speaker also warned against disrupting proceedings.

Opus1I am sure no one in Parliament knew or was listening. I am sure it sounds a lot like:
blaaa, blaaa, blaaa, Evil Whites Must Go, blaaa, blaaa, blaaaa.

crbutlerHey, if it happened here, the press would be going on how the president was showing extreme leadership and loyalty to his ideas.
Looks like the Zim press is a little more small L liberal than the first world folks...
