If I were Levy, I would have not sent a congratulatory message to that dunderhead Mugabe who has reduced his people to nothing.Indeed, independence celebrations are meanless when people don’t have free piece of mind and are scared of one another. Yes, they will sing joyful songs but in low tune once they focus on blood that was shed during their struggle being just in vain. Mugabe deserves a bullet in a head.
I still consider Levy as a coward and not courageous enough to tell that dunderhead Mugabe about the sinking Titanic story. Levy, you were the first African president to criticize Mugabe and it will be great for you to go to Zimbabwe and tell that dunderhead about sinking Titanic. Definitely, you will be a hero to the Zimbabeans. It does pay to talk under the armpit about the coughing economy of Zimbabwe to unconcern people,Levy get some guts and face Bob.
Kayata, my bru, have a nice day ID KC.
MUDALA WA.. WHATEVER YOU CALL YOURSELF, SOMETHING IS OBSCENELY WRONG WITH YOU. THE DUNDERHEAD IS YOU WHO CAN’T SEE BEYOND YOUR NOSE. YOU ARE UNABLE TO DISCERN THE CAUSE OF WHAT YOU CALL THE COUGHING ECONOMY. ARE YOU SURE ROBERT WOULD LIKE HIS COUNTRY’S ECONOMY TO ‘COUGH’. I BET WITH YOUR SHALLOW MIND YOU WOULD SAY YES. LETS SAY YOU BECAME ZIM PRES, HOW WOULD TURN AROUND THE ECONOMY ASSUMING THE SANCTIONS IN IMPOSED BY THOSE WHO WANT TO BE BOOTLICKED REMAIN IN PLACE? I BET THE FIRST THING YOU WILL DO IS TO GIVE BACK THE LAND FOR FREE SO SANCTIONS COULD BE REMOVED, HEE!
YOU SEE WE (AFRICA AND AFRICANS) CAN NOT CONTINUE TO EXIST OR LIVE JUST FOR THE WESTERN WORLD, RATHER WE SHOULD LIVE WITH THEM.
IF YOU ARE NOT CAUCASIAN, THEN YOU ARE THE CHAPS WHO ARE SO THICK IN YOUR HEADS THAT YOU WANT TO BOOTLICK REGARDLESS. YOU MUST GROW UP. IF YOU DON’T KNOW ZIM IS INDEPENEDENT. BUT OF COURSE IT IS UNDERSTOOD BECAUSE THERE IS ALWAYS AN EXISTENCE OF CHARACTERS OF YOUR SORT, PLUS MDC PRES.
I think all this is just not being serious reasoning.I believe Mugabe is doing something really big for the Zimbabweans which is as I can see from the above comments beyond your comprehension.
You still want to be talking about the sinking Titanic?On a country’s Independence day?Come on get some sense sunk in your minds you probably just talking from the citizens point of view probably in support of this MDC leader who is the white peoples’ puppet President.I have said all this not because I’m angry with you,NO!I want you to see the difference a day to talk politics and one where, despite your political differences you stand as one to celebrate such a God given day for ALL Zimbabweans such as April 18th.
And now you want another statesman to send congratulatory messages based on The issue of the so called”Sinking Titanic” ,which is as far as I’m concerned is stale news?Lets get serious and sensible in our comments.
There is a tendency by Africans to rant about white people and call them racists , colonialists and slave traders and pretend that we Africans are somehow angelic. The truth is regardless of British and American hypocricy and double standards, Mugabe is a tyrant. Somehow trying to pretend that Mugabe is doing something big and good for Zimbabwe is a misrepresentation of facts. Leaders like Mugabe are an embarrassment to a continent that is still the most backward and least developed in the world. Mugabe had many years to implement land reforms , but while the economy was doing well and there was a lot of money to line his and his friends’ pockets he cared nothing about land reform. Land reform should have been a priority from the beginning and should have been orderly. Instead Mugabe’s friends acquired huge farms through corruption. Now Mugabe is trying to present himself as a man of the people. He must be seen for what he is. A despot!
