Greetings Blog World!
In an article I read today Mr. Mugabe was quoted to have lamented over the millions of Zimbabweans, oh wait "his children" who have runaway from him to Britain. I mean c'mon! My favourite quote from this article is:
"Today is the day of understanding each other. Zimbabwe will never be a colony again. If you fail to get sugar for a day, you blame it on Mugabe's government. How much sugar have I given you all these years?"
Ummm Dad I don' think the problem is that we can't get sugar for a day or even the sugar....the problem is that you are abusive and we are all in need of some intense therapy because we watched you beat and rape our mother Zimbabwe down for the last 27 years. We are classic survivors of domestic violence, daddy dearest. Some of us bear the scars, the rest of us attempt to nurse our internal wounds with sugar from Britain.
Typical language of an abuser, blame victim. So because you supposedly freed us and gave us sugar for a short spell we should endure your abuses? Who wants to make Zimbabwe a colony again? Again? Did we ever stop being a colony Mr. I'll sign the Lancaster House Agreement without reading the fine print?
"Should we therefore run away, forsake and abandon our country? We must fight, fight and defeat the common enemy. We should not forsake our revolutionary values.”
The thing about that is that we are running away from YOU! We are not forsaking our country, you nitwit and we do have a common enemy, YOU! What are our revolutionary values? How do your extravagances and mounds of wealth reflect those values? We are fighting Baba you best believe it, and this time WE will truly decide what it means to be Zimbabwean. This what happens to children, they grow up, they learn and they remember.
