Grace Mugabe’s ‘buttocks’ go viral

via Grace Mugabe’s ‘buttocks’ go viral 04 November 2014 by Robert Mukondiwa

WELL, perhaps not in the way it reads, but certainly now Grace Mugabe, the word buttock, and the word viral can now be uttered in one breath with the facts hardly being too badly contorted.

As the Zimbabwean first lady continued with her series of entertaining, blood curdling and, at times inane meet-the-people tours, the often chilling messages have not been without moments of mirth.

And one such moment was when the First Lady mistakenly uttered the word ‘buttocks’ in her native Shona language while she intended to, in fact, speak of people’s plummeting living standards.

The nine second clip has now gone viral on social networks and sharing platforms, with WhatsApp being the mostly used site to share the verbal faux pas.

In a language where the word for buttocks (magaro) and livelihood (magariro) are within a hare’s breath of similarity, the First Lady slipped and mentioned the word for booty instead.

Fortunately for her, the people saw the funny side of an otherwise worrying number of public speeches which have polarised the society and left her Zanu PF party in disarray.

At least, betwixt all of the seriousness, she has offered the public a light moment in the midst of her apocalyptic rise to power which many think will effectively bring a tumultuous reign that may worsen an economy that is all but comatose.

    Apocalyptic! As in apocalypse – meaning
    “An event involving destruction or
    damage on an awesome or catastrophic scale”

    Very apt!

    The heading of this article shows the very Satan-driven craving for perversion by the Perverts responsible for both the writing and publication of this article. The Douches of Cambridge’s buttocks were deliberately and wantonly shown to the world but we never saw such headlines published by these perverts. In this case, a mere misspeak is twisted and glorified in a perverted manner synonymous with the satanic intention to offend!!!! Shame on “The Zimbabwe Situation”, Shame, Shame, Shame!!!!!!!

    I have long doubted this Robati guy. Was he really the one at the head of the liberation struggle or it was Sally?

    The moment Sally passed on, everything started to crumble. Sally was able to hold the country together and the economy was reasonably in good shape even as she lay on her deathbed. She should be the one who should have gone to Singapore for treatment. But she didn’t. Parirenyatwa was still good enough to handle the situation, even heart transplants.

    As soon as she passed on Soddom and Gomorra arrived with the satanic secretary/typist/model face whore now angling to prostitutionally lead the country through her lacerated klitoris! Nxaaaa!
