Zimbabwe is the rape victim of Robert Mugabe. Michael Gerson profiles the courage of two women standing up to him and his thugs and refusing to live in their stink. On 10/17/09 I wrote of Nobel prize nominee Morgan Tsvangirai taking on Mugabe in the political sphere. Here are two more names worthy of a Nobel nomination: Magodonga Mahlangu and Jennifer Williams. They are leading protests to hold the government accountable for providing basic governmental services like sewage disposal and keep getting arrested and beaten for their efforts time and again. Yet they keep doing it because they want to "live truthfully." This is the real deal "speaking truth to power" and my hat is off to these women who refuse to live in the stink.
