Mugabe says Tsvangirai is an ignoramus "ignorant of his ignorance" and, by Jove, did he take advantage of that!

Now that Mugabe is back in power, he finally tells the world how contemptuous he was of Tsvangirai, whom he now says is “ignorant of his ignorance”.

“You see, an illiterate person who is aware that they are ignorant, you can deal with (them) better,” Mugabe said in apparent reference to Tsvangirai’s lack of college-level education.

“You are better off with an ignorant person who is aware, conscious, of his ignorance, who accepts that he is ignorant, but if you are ignorant of your ignorance inhamo huruhuru; uchifunga kuti kusaziva hungwaru, ah, unopinza vanhu munhamo.

“Kuti mufambidzane muchinzwanana hurukuro dzacho nema ideas acho zvinobva zvasiyana kure kure.”

Mugabe is not the first person to notice Tsvangirai’s serious intellectual shortcomings. The former US Ambassador to Zimbabwe described Tsvangirai as a “flawed and indecisive character” in secrete cable to Washington which came out in WikiLeaks. The Ambassador did not mean his cryptic remarks to be public knowledge; Mugabe made his at a public gathering knowing full well the whole world was listening.

Mugabe said working with the MDC-T leader required “real patience and endurance” because he was an ignoramus who was woefully unaware of his ignorance. Now there the Zimbabwean tyrant was lying through his teeth. What real patience and endurance is he wittering about; the tyrant took full advantage of our goat herder’s breath-taking incompetence. The tyrant was in his element here and showed the simpleton no mercy.

Mugabe tricked our goat herder into believing that none of the democratic reforms agreed in the GPA were necessary for free, fair and credible elections. And so not even one reform was implemented after five years.

Mugabe dragged his feet on the writing of the new constitution and then after four and half years he finally “dictated” the whole Copac constitution, as the Zanu PF MP on the drafting committee, Paul Mangwana, could not resist bragging about. The whole document was a dictator’s creed, it was weak and feeble it was not even worth the paper it was written on! But that did not stop Tsvangirai and his MDC endorsing it and campaign to a yes vote in the referendum.

It was only after the referendum that it finally dawned on ignoramus goat herder that Copac was rubbish and for free and fair elections MDC would need to have the reforms implemented. But by then it was too late.

The easy with which Mugabe and Zanu PF were able to rig the 31 July 2013 election must have surprised even the dictator himself. We have all heard of playing with a loaded dice in this case this was akin to Mugabe playing with dice with sixs only whilst Tsvangirai’s dice was all ones! Throw after throw Mugabe came out with winners of course!

One million voters were denied the right to vote for various reasons out of the three million cast vote i.e. 25% of the voters were denied the vote. And yet 27 constituencies still had 70% plus voter turnout. Chipinge East even had 141% voter turnout. This akin to Mugabe claiming that he threw a seven, or even a double six with one dice!

Tsvangirai’s court challenge of the election result was the logical thing to do. Mugabe had clearly out done himself in his vote rigging and thus produced vote counts that were mathematically impossible! Tsvangirai shocked the whole world when he withdraw the court challenge for “lack of evidence”! The idiot still had his dice with only ones, Mugabe had called out some seven and even double six; what more evidence did he need! This was akin to Tsvangirai being asked to examine Mugabe’s dice with all sixs and then examine his own dice with ones and still Tsvangirai failed to notice there was something wrong.

The easy with which Mugabe rigged the 31^st July 2013 elections and Tsvangirai’s strange decision to withdraw the Court challenge of the result proved beyond doubt that Tsvangirai is not just an ignoramus idiot who thinks he is clever but is a complete imbecile!

This dress down by Mugabe should finally convince Tsvangirai and his equally incompetent fellow MDC leaders and supporters that it is time he went back to herding goats!

As for Mugabe himself, cheating a goat herder is one thing but cheating the rest of the world will not be that easy. He rigged the elections and the world is not going to let him get away with it!
