via Fishy endorsement | The Zimbabwean 16 September 2014 by Jera
Traditional chiefs, who were unhappy over unfulfilled promises not too far back, suddenly ‘endorsed’ the first lady with one voice. It is of course fishy that the ‘endorsement’ was made moments after Zanu (PF) promised new cars and increments to their allowances. How quickly we forget – just yesterday there was widespread criticism following the $30,000 double cab pickups given to MPs.
Government is broke, yet Mugabe intends to conjure the necessary funds to secure brand new vehicles for chiefs to drive around amidst the poverty of their communities. It will certainly be interesting to see if the Masvingo chiefs in particular will accept these vehicles, at a time when the money is needed for resettlement of flood victims moved from Chingwizi.
While Zanu (PF) attempts to manufacture credibility for Grace – ‘the Queen,’ according to Presidential hopeful, Emmerson Mnangagwa – the nation and those who have passed through the halls of Manfred Hodgson and Swinton at the UZ are concerned at the devaluing of what has until now been a world-respected institute of higher learning.
Mugabe has chosen to launch his wife’s political career to safeguard his business and personal interests in the event of his retirement. Even if Grace rises no higher than chair of the Women’s League, she is a useful pawn in keeping his ambitious underlings guessing as regards the presidential succession. It would also appear that Grace’s sham PhD is in response to VP Joice Mujuru’s doctorate, awarded on the same day. The benefit to Mugabe is that the Grace debate offers a distraction from the ailing economy, the health crisis and several unfulfilled election promises.
Like the boy who made marbles from manure, Mugabe will stop at nothing in order to manufacture credibility, even if the country is ruined in the process. If there is a light at the end of this very long tunnel – 34 agonizing years – it is that nothing, and no one, lasts forever. It is the hope of every patriot that by God’s grace – and not the Grace of dubious degrees – the country will someday be restored to its rightful position as the gem of Africa.

Well Jera ( Justice Equality Rights Access International) all i can say is take care of yourself, because if you continue to make reports like this you well find favour with the general reading public, but you will make no friends with those you write of! Respect.
Jera Muhammad Ali Jinnah once said :There are two powers in the world; one is the sword and the other is the pen. There is a great competition and rivalry between the two.
Edward G. Bulwer-Lytton also said :The pen is mightier than the sword.
Write on Brother.
Zimbabwe’s tertiary education system tainted for ever! When God gave His laws to Moses for governing leaders He said that they shall not multiply horses for them selves nor silver and gold. The leader was to study God’s laws all the days of his life so that he would learn to fear God. He was NOT to lift his heart above his brethren. Deuteronomy 17:14-20 You will find a very strong word for our leaders given to a brother in Christ on 9/4/11 and to me for the second time this last Tuesday. you can read it in Isaiah 14:18-23 “Woe to those who decree unrighteous decrees , who write misfortune which they have prescribed to rob the needy of justice and to take what is right from the poor of my people.” Isaiah 10:1-2 I will say with a deep degree of certainty from the hundred of scriptures that the Lord has given me over the years for Zimbabwe, its people and its leaders that His judgment is going to fall on those who should know better. I suggest repentance.
Doctor do little once said “Zimbabwe stopped having chiefs years ago. These people are Zanu pf political commissars. “
Expose the nakedness of the Emperor.
Yes repentance,repentance,true repentance.time is ticking away.God is giving us this chance to come to him.
