Dr Simba Makoni cashing in on Zimbabwe misplaced infatuations

MKD leader Dr Simba Makoni overrated and ambitious

Zimbabwe is generally a trendy nation. The origin of the insatiable appetite for the in thing or any craze among the populace is difficult to trace but it is evident in every facet of life in the country.

The appetite knows no season nor bounds.

President Mugabe hit the nail on the head

Zimbabwe President Apostle Robert Gabriel Mugabe at the Johanne marange Passover after snubbing invitation to Rumbidzai's wedding to Calvin Nyarota. Rumbidzai is premier Tsvangirai's daughter.

Addressing mourners gathered at the discredited National Heroes shrine to witness the interment of his late sister Sabina Mugabe, President Robert Mugabe hit the nail on the head when he said;

“They cannot be good to us today, when they were not good to us yesterday. They detained us, jailed us, shot at us, bombed us and slaughtered us in our hundreds. We bore the brunt of their cruelties and shall never forget.”

How true except that he was pointing at a past offender he personally and voluntarily pardoned in 1980 and got our total support for the magnanimity he had shown in victory.

The British colonists did all that to us and we pardoned them when they surrendered to our demand for self rule on that momentous day of 18 April 1980 when Prince Charles lowered the Union Jack and neatly folded it before taking it back to the United Kingdom.

Simultaneously our Zimbabwe Flag was hoisted and the wind merrily blew it in all directions as if to confirm the merriment that characterised the mood of the thousands that packed into Rufaro Stadium and many more across the length and breadth of our freed nation.

Sadly none other than President Mugabe has failed us in our desire to continue reveling in the joy of our freedom from colonial rule
