What successful trip?

via What successful trip? | The Zimbabwean 1 October 2014 by Jera

In a previous appearance at the UN, Mugabe insulted the most influential men on the planet – ‘Remove your filthy sanctions, shame, shame, shame!’ It is Mugabe who should be thoroughly ashamed to learn that members of his party – one of them a Provincial Chairman no less – were trying to obtain funding from the evil Americans.

There are ways for one president to address another and Mugabe’s manner was not the appropriate one. State media announced that there would be a welcoming party at the Harare International Airport, following Mugabe’s ‘successful trip’ to New York. One wonders if the Zanu (PF) broadcaster understands the purpose of the UN General Assembly.

The ZBC has become so accustomed to brown-nosing that it refers to anything Mugabe does as ‘successful,’ even if he were to accidentally saw off his own arm. Unless Mugabe returned with new jobs for the unemployed youths and shelter for those made homeless by Chombo’s demolitions, it is hard to see how his UN trip can be described as ‘successful.’

It is puzzling that a man who is supposedly a ‘liberator’ will engage in acts that cause the continued suffering of his countrymen. Reflecting on Mugabe’s UN address, it is difficult to arrive at any conclusion other than that he has completely gone off the rail. Madness is not only exclusive to those who bare themselves in public and hurl abuse at the moon.

If the ZBC is bent on assessing Mugabe, here are the facts. Today we have entered the 15th month since Zanu (PF)’s supposed “landslide victory”. More companies have shut down and hundreds of mothers and fathers have lost their jobs – 623 laid off in August alone, according to the Zimbabwe Retrenchment board and 4668 retrenched between January and July. So far Mugabe’s report card shows a chain of ‘F’ symbols. – Till next week, my pen is capped. Jerà. Twitter @JeraZW

    As if chastasing the west will bring any change to our fortunes. After 34 years of self delusion the man wants some kind of Pan Africanist heroic legacy. This at the expense of present and future generations. We have paid dearly as a people under this man.

    Mugabe and grace distributed USA sweets on arrival since no such delicacy exists in Zimbabwe the crowds went to get a free sweetie. Nice. Zanupf convinced themselves the crowds were there to welcome Mugabe but were also just there for the free sweets themselves. No one dared to tell delusional Bob the truth.

    Mugabe has no idea what ‘appropriate manner’means. Just listen to the way he addresses his supporters and the sick references he makes when describing his opponents. As long as what he says draws laughter and some kongonya from the women he will milk it to an inch of its life.

    He has learnt over the years that a little stab of the West a day makes the Povo forget how hungry they are as they will dance and sing kunge bveni rapihwa pembe.

    He revels and beats his own chest when his supporters show their tonsils when they laugh at his not so funny jibes about Gay people, Tsvangirai Tony Blair. In his head his jibes(mistaken by his supportes as wise sayings) have the same inspirational feel as those of Mandela or Martin Luther King.

    His supporters are not the sharpest tools in the box. Neither are the reporters who choose to forget that in today’s world people do not necessarily rely on them for news and can easily bypass their doctored versions of the truth.

    He has been sawing off not just the nation’s arms, but its life as well. A man educated to cause destruction, poverty and underdevelopment.
