A question of two villians saluting each other.
Mugabe “made Zimbabwe to be what it is today”. Yes indeed, a failed state, a disaster area, a no go zone.
The opening sentence sums it up. Yes, Mugabe made Zimbabwe is today, an absolute failure.
To be where you are and able to write those few lines shows how you all benefited from Mugabe policies.Rest in peace son of the soil,will cherish you forever,propaganda will always be there but that will not divert our struggle.
You said it clearly. For the first time you said the truth. Mugabe made Zimbabwe to be what it is today.
