Why does Mugabe not just shut up?

HARARE – Robert Mugabe must never have imagined himself outside the
Zimbabwean presidency.

He was so drunk with power that his own family at some point actually
thought Zimbabwe and Zimbabweans belonged to them.

His SABC interview, organised by political flip-flopper Jealousy Mawarire,
all but reflected how shocked Mugabe is to be out of power.

It seems he even wants to be handed back the presidency if at all such
madness would ever be fathomable.

However, it seems Zimbabweans have moved on. Mugabe continuously runs away
from his contribution to Zimbabwe’s economic fall. It was his populist
policies that did Zimbabwe down, promising as it was when he led it to
independence from the British in 1980.

Mugabe is talking about his removal from office today but he cites one
aspect of a whole process, that is the military intervention.

Deliberately, he does not want to talk about the multitudes who marched on
November 18, last year.

Again, he conveniently avoids talking about the Zanu PF extraordinary
central committee meeting that ousted him, his wife Grace, Jonathan Moyo,
Saviour Kasukuwere among others from their party positions.

Curiously too, Mugabe avoids talking about the impeachment process that he
avoided by his timely resignation.

Somewhere at the back of his mind, Mugabe wants this country to slide into
chaos. Why would he wish the police armouries had guns? Why did he want
anyone for that matter to resist the military intervention if it is not
for his weird selfishness?  Why would a leader, especially one who claims
to have his people at heart, want to wish there is bloodshed in his
country?

Clearly, Mugabe was on a mission to create a dynasty in Zimbabwe. He was
priming his ambitious wife Grace to take over the presidency after him. In
his weird opinion, Zimbabwe had no other citizen capable of taking over
the reigns of power from him.

This is ridiculous, especially when you realise the levels he had taken
Zimbabwe to. The country was a mere shadow of its former self
economically.

The cash shortages, infrastructural destruction, institutionalised
corruption, a health delivery system that was almost on its knees and
several other ills that had become synonymous with the southern African
nation.

No-one would want to support coups anywhere in the world except those who
execute it. Mugabe just had to go at all costs. Zimbabweans were not blind
to his nefarious plans.

    Because he is now finding what it is like to be at the ‘other side’ of the zone called life.
    He has had it so good doing nothing, that he now feels left out. He believes that nobody is capable of running Zim other then him and his family.
    He should just shut up now as this could get a lot worse for him and his bit of stuff.
    If you let him near the keys to the country again, that is when it will REALLY hurt, for although the article tells of things (still are) bad; you have not seen anything like what he has in store for you all. He is vindictive, cold, calculating, ruthless and….

    Let him talk, as the saying goes -‘there is no fool, like an old fool’.
