Professor Reg Austin was the best of the best by a mile — a rigorous intellectual, a principled human rights defender, and a mentor to many of us.
I was honoured to write this tribute to a truly great man.

- I have read & reread the government of Zimbabwe's response to the Catholic Bishops' pastoral letter & remain beyond shock that there is a government on earth in the 21st century that can release this kind of hurtful drivel as an official government statement. God help us!
- Who would have thought it possible that any government in Zimbabwe could be worse than that of Robert Gabriel Mugabe!!!
- Having now read through all the papers filed by all parties in the Constitutional Court Presidential election petition me thinks it is the Constitutional Court itself which will be on trial on Wednesday. Will they have the courage to look at the evidence without fear or favour?
- Why do humans have great difficulty in embracing the lessons of history? Did the Smith/ Muzorewa dialogue resolve the Rhodesian question?
- The agents of the regime deployed everywhere including among us are on a roll with FAKE & UTTERLY FALSE stories & Facebook & Twitter accounts. I am going nowhere. I stand with Nelson Chamisa, Tendai Biti and Lynette Kore in the fight 4 the people. The MDC Alliance is my home.
- BEHOLD THE NEW.
- Our Lord, God of Abraham, for how long must we suffer? What unforgivable sin did we commit to be punished so?
- I hope we as Zimbabweans of different political persuasions will realise that our most fundamental collective challenge is how we can restore civilian politics by taking the military back to the barracks & out of our politics. This is a condition sine qua non of any progress.
- Lord, you always give me justice when I bring a case before you. So let me bring you this complaint: Why are the wicked so prosperous? Why are evil people so happy? You have planted them, and they have taken root and prospered. Jeremiah 12
- Watching Mthuli interview with Richard Quest was so so sad. Just how someone so academically intelligent can become such a political moron is mind boggling.
- The ability to feel shame is one of the most important social constraints which protects us from perverse conduct. How does one become so SHAMELESS that she can sit in front of cameras & claim leadership & control of MPs who clobbered her in an election?
- As I go to bed tonight I pray to you Heavenly Father,that you open the hearts & minds of the judges of our nation's courts to the truism that your people, the CITIZENS of this our country, are sovereign & that ALL political LEGITIMACY derives from the THEM and them ALONE.
