“The facilitation team is adamant that this time around, they have to come up with strong resolutions against Mugabe and his Zanu PF party. They will not be hoodwinked again,” said the highly-placed South African official, the Daily News reported.
It is pleasing to hear President Zuma’s team admitting “they will not be hoodwinked again” by Mugabe. After years of bending over backwards to appease Mugabe; granting his regime billions of Rands in soft loans, imposing a one-sided power sharing arrangement when the tyrant lost the elections, turning a blind-eye to the tyrant’s continued repression, veto UN resolutions designed to force Mugabe to end his brutal repression in Zimbabwe, etc. Instead of showing his appreciation for all SA was doing for him the tyrant had the audacity to insult President Zuma when the latter dared to remind the tyrant he had to implement some token changes at least.
“We are a sovereign and independent country,” Mugabe said. “We will not be lectured to.” There is the thanks from a super brat!
The insults had the one desirable effect; it forced President Zuma to take off the hoodwinks and the kid gloves – for few weeks at least!
The same paper also said Mugabe met President Zuma for three hours ahead of the SADC meeting; enough time for the tyrant to sweet talk Zuma, kiss and make up, I would say. Mugabe has the gift of the gab and President Zuma is a simpleton (Professor Jonathan Moyo, Mugabe’s chief propagandist said as much of Zuma) – Mugabe has hoodwinked Zuma thousands of times in the past (and Zuma’s team admit that themselves) and who is to say Mugabe can not do so again a million times!
