The party endorsed his candidacy last month at the party’s national conference; of course uncle Bob should have the final say whether he stands for the elections or not; he is master of his mind and his body, and he should be the one to say whether he is fit to lead Zimbabwe for the next five years; moreover he is an intelligent man who led the Chimurenga against the half-wit, Ian Smith, who thought Zimbabwe would be under colonialism for over thousand years! But don’t believe those who may tell you, uncle Bob is a dictator who imposes himself on his party and the Zimbabweans as leader of the country. In a democracy people get the government they deserve.
But why him, all the time? Does ZANU-PF find him indispensable? Does the party think he will break Methuselah’s record of longevity? Is he his party’s magic wand for winning general elections? The economy is dying, Zimbabweans are dying of hunger and fleeing the country in droves, why does the party and the electorate always make a beeline for Robert Mugabe and his party? Bewitched?
