MUGABE TO TAKE ZIMBABWE TO WAR IF HE LOSES!!!!
President Robert Mugabe has switched back to his 2008 threats of war if his
Zanu (PF) party loses the next elections. The visibly tired and frail 89 year
old leader who has been on a campaign trail around the country, made the
blatant statements during his rally for Midlands province held in Gweru today.
“We are a party of liberators and owners of Zimbabwe. We are the custodians
of Zimbabwe’s heritage and only us know how the country came to be. Even other
nations do not really know this.“This country is so precious and it should be
closely guarded so that it does not fall into the hands of people working with
imperialists. People shed their blood for it. The blood will continue to be
shed if we realise we are losing the country,” said Mugabe. It was again the
first time that Mugabe who was addressing his eighth rally, did not make his
speeches of peace ahead of next week’s elections. According to sources,
Mugabe’s intimidation threats shows he is losing the immense confidence of
victory at next week’s elections as days for the watershed national process
draw nearer.
The president went on to attack MDC-T leader Morgan Tsvangirai saying he is
so obsessed with Britons whose forefathers were oppressors. “Tsvangirai says he
wants to bring change. If he wants it, then he should first change his skin so
that it becomes white like that of Blair (Former British PM). He can as well
change his hair. “He is so obsessed with whites. That is why he cannot do
anything without consent from Eddie Cross and Roy Bennet.
“These whites think that this is their country. It is not. The white colour
on our flag should not fool whites into thinking they own Zimbabwe. The colour
represents something else. That is why the white part on the flag is bordered
by a black margin,” said Mugabe. He also attacked Finance Minister Tendai Biti
saying he abused the International Monetary Fund’s $ 500 million grant. The
president went on to repeat his call for the cancellation of debts owed by
residents to city councils countrywide saying people cannot afford to pay
because the foreign currency which is in use is difficult to get than the Zimbabwean
dollar. Though the rally was attended by thousands of people in Zanu (PF)
regalia bussed from the province’s eight districts, the atmosphere was not
characterised by huge enthusiasm. The atmosphere made the party’s provincial
chairperson and Governor Jaison Machaya, spend lots of energy trying to cheer
the attendants by chanting of lengthy slogans.
