Mugabe castigates Zimbabwean farmers for using old fashioned
farming methods.
“Tinoda machengeterwo emombe akasiyana neaiitwa nanasekuru
vedu (We want to rear cattle in a different way from what our ancestors used to
do),” Mugabe said at the official opening of Harare’s Agricultural Show.
Mugabe, through mismanagement, corruption and looting has
dragged the whole nation politically and economically into the stone-age. The
only way the nation is ever going to recover is if he goes. He rigged the July
elections so that he stays in power and the tyrant, somehow, expects the nation
to prosper regardless. How naïve!
“Let’s change our methods, zvanezuro zvekuti dai agriculture
yafondoka varungu vadzoke tozoratidza mhuri yeZimbabwe kuti hatigone pasina
varungu ndezvezvibwasungata zvinoda kuramba zvichiyamwa mazamu anaMrs. Hatingarambe
tichishandira bhunu ratisingazive kuti rakabva kupi. (What was happening in the
recent past when some were saying agriculture should collapse in order to prove
that blacks are not good farmers so as to bring back white farmers is a wishful
thinking by sell-outs. We cannot continue working for the whites),” Mugabe said.
Zimbabwe is in this mess not because we have been working
for the whites these last 33 years! It is because we have a political system
that allows mismanagement, corruption and looting to rule the roast. The people
realised this a long time ago but have failed to do anything to end it because
of the cheating, vote rigging and brutal political repression. Mugabe and his Zanu PF thugs have murdered over
30 000 to retain the regime’s struggle hold on power.
Zimbabwe
is not going to have modern farms or modern anything as long as the country
continues to be ruled by a regime with stone-age mentality that would rig
elections and even commit mass murder to stay in power!

“If only some of us had been more strategic and careful in our planning. We should have flatly refused to participate in a farce that was disguised as an election,” said Obert Gutu. This is the first sensible thing Gutu has ever said in all the years of his blubbering!
“Hero status will only be conferred on Zanu PF dedicated cadres committed to the country’s cause. Those who claim to want to be conferred hero’s status must construct their own shrines to bury their own heroes,” said Mugabe at the burial of Kumbirai Kangai.
Yah, but it was the nation and not Zanu PF that paid for the building of the national shrine, you murderous imbecile!
"We will not deny you food if in need. We will not punish you. Every Zimbabwean is entitled to government support," said Mugabe.
That sums it up beautifully how far down the democratic ladder Mugabe has taken the nation. After rigging the elections he has to reassure the people that he will stop at vote rigging and not go on to punish them further by denying them food, etc. The tyrant half expects the nation to go into a spontaneous applause and thank him for his generosity! What a sick joke.
In 2000 the nation's economic went into total melt down after Mugabe and Zanu PF initiated their all-out looting spree. Millions of Zimbabweans lost their jobs and forced them into a life of abject poverty. The economy has neither recovered since nor would it recover in the next five years as long as Mugabe remains in power.
@ Historian
Mugabe is a ruthless tyrant and he rigged these elections.
There was a real chance to end the Zanu PF dictatorship by implementing the agreed GPA dem-ocratic reforms and thus hold free, fair and democratic elections. The only reason not even one reform was implemented was Tsvangirai and MDC's breath-taking incompetence. If you cannot see that it is because you, like so many other MDC supporters have your heads buried in the sand.
It was Tsvangirai’s incompetence that made it easy for Mugabe to rig the elections. Tsvangirai does not even recognize his serious shortcomings which clearly show he will continue to make similar political blunders given half a chance. Only someone who is really naïve would have confidence in an incompetent and failed leader.
@ Carlistus
Mugabe was hoping that the whole world will forget his vote rigging. He is shocked to see that, other than SADC and the AU, no one else is going to accept him as the legitimate head of State! Everyone else is treating him as if he was a sewer rat, which he is!
@ Ruwa
Well for someone who has been building Zimbabwe these last 33 years, and you clearly believe he has been doing just that, it is curious to note that the country's economy has shrunk a staggering 84% in the six year period 2002 to 2008 alone. On the political front the tyrant has murdered over 30 000 innocent Zimbabweans. Only an idiot would cheer and applaud that as "kuvaka" Zimbabwe!
@ JX
"Who cares (who Mugabe appoints his vice president)!" My sentiments exactly.
The tyrant rigs elections and thus denying us the ordinary people a meaningful say in the governance of the country. Are we really supposed to care who the tyrant appoints his vice-president, minister of this, minister of that and minister of God-knows-what-ever. Why should we care; they will not make any difference to our suffering; they have not done so in 33 years, why should this time be any different!
