| Annan, Carter denied visas and cancel Zimbabwe trip |
| 2008-11-22 |
| Former UN secretary general Kofi Annan and ex-US president Jimmy Carter said on Saturday that they had been forced to cancel a trip to Zimbabwe because they had been denied visas. "We had to cancel our visit because the government made it very clear that it will not cooperate," Annan told a press conference in Johannesburg. Carter said the government of President Robert Mugabe would not "let us in." |

| #5 Kofi and Jimmy in the same group? That would cause any government to rethink visas |

| #3 Quite understandable actually, it's the apartheid thing haunting them yet. Wait just a few more years Kofi and you won't be broadcasting from Johannesburg as either. Zuma will see to that. Enjoy the Jacarandas and Kingclip Jimmah, not many of either in Plains. |

| #2 Shoulda given 'em the visas, then during the visit they coulda canceled them until some departure tax was paid - it woulda been interesting to see what they were 'worth.' |
