Former VP Mujuru’s life time salary
and allowance guaranteed in the constitution have been stopped. Since January
2015, she has reportedly received nothing.
Zimbabwe is broke. Three and half
decades of gross mismanagement and rampant corruption have taken their toll.
The national cake has shrunk and shrunk whilst the appetites of the Zanu PF
ruling elite have grown in leaps and bounds all clamouring for the lion’s share
of the cake. For years Mugabe has had to dig deep, taking the last crumb away
from the poor and starving so that the elite can have cake. He would have
wanted to continue to giving his Zanu PF thugs and party loyalists all their
hearts desires regardless of all their wastefulness but he cannot. How can he
give away loot when there is no loot to give away!
Last week parliament was adjourned
earlier than it should have been and will reportedly reopen 5 May 2015
(although many doubt that) because there is no money to pay the MPs’ gravy
train allowances and expenses. The MPs are part of the inner most ruling elite
and if their share of the loot is being cut back then Joice Mujuru, who has
been thrown out of the inner circle, must have known it was just a matter of
time before her generous VP salary and allowances are cut.
Well Christmas is early this year;
all her salary and allowances have been cut just a month since she was fired
from her post! No doubt all her other looting privileges have gone too! And the
regime is not done with he; they will be after all the loot she and her late
husband have amassed over the years next. Mugabe will take her and all her
supporters to the cleaners.
After years of worrying not eating
too much (but eating it anywhere and piling on the pounds) whilst she lived in
Easy Street; here in Shit Alley, Mai Mujuru will have something new to worry
about - having nothing to eat all day!
