Hope I find you all in good health. Today's discussion is meanly centred on a statement by Roy Bennett:

"General Chiwenga the Baboon and Robert Mugabe, second husband to Grace."

I wonder does the man see a baboon in every black person?

    But guys Chiwenga just said sh*t about our president and you complain when we hit back? These Zanu Pf guys call Tsvangirai and Welshman names all the time! Chiwenga is a baboon!
    Tsvangirai a psychiatric case: Chiwenga
    ARMY commander, General Constantine Chiwenga, has dismissed reports security chiefs have held meetings with Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai, dismissing the MDC-T leader as “psychiatric patient” Read this on newzimbabwe.com

    We have called Smith so many names. Sometimes baboon also. Blair the toilet, pigs, zvimbwasungata, dogs etc. Was that racist. These days we call it political. Have you guys become politicians. Some politicians only know how to say the rotten things. Others are always insulting (like our jono), some kill etc. Not all all of them are leaders. Not all are apt. Vura mapoko hunozvara mbava nevaroyi. But in general they are political politicians. We have an old shona adage that 'makudo ndimamwe........' often expressed refering to people. That would not be racist. I am not friends with Bennet, neither do I believe in Chiwenga's comments, but I respect Mugabe. Yet the three are politicians. Their mouths never fear even flooded rivers.

    Yes Roy i think your namesake is the MDC or he is responsible for raising the much needed funds for the party. If he is called to order the donors will will withhold the funds. P/S remember to send us soccer results please.

    The statements are a clear manifestation of hw racist Bennett is. He is jst some1 showing hw frustrated he is by the stance taken by service chiefs, Chiwenga in particular, in denying the MDC-T the so called "security sector reforms" yet posting such a video & calling Chiwenga a baboon discredits the party he represents. Bennett for 1 shld knw bettr, Zimbabwean 'baboons' have refused to weaken the security forces in the name of reforms advocated by some racist machinations like him.

    what character traits did Chiwenga potray to deserve such a name? why didnt he compare him to a greedy hyena o vile snake, o a jackal. It just had to be baboon coz thats how rhodesians perceive all black people; uncivilised primates, animals incapable and in need of white mans direction. look at the man, his history, what he really stands for and such statements will not surprise you because you will understand thats what the man is, an unflinching die hard racist white supremacist rhodesian.

    Calling those 2 Baboons de is no Racist element there. Those 2 Tribelists are worse, remember they committed atrocities in Matabeleland nd Midlands. They deserve those names. So kubuhlungu kuphi ma ebabiza ngeMfene

    In other words Bennett is MDC-T

    The MDC will not say anything because they are pre occupied with prolonging the unity government and the issue of their primary elections than calling their wayward son to order. If um not mistaken they never said anything when Bennett attacked Tsvangirayi for praising the late vice president John Nkomo. This kind of behaviour only benefits those who accuse the MDC-T of being white or Western backed party.

    what is MDC-T saying about this?

    While i am not a fan of General Chiwenga or President Mugabe i think its wrong for Bennett to call someone a baboon. Most racist whites have been to refer to blacks as baboons, so i agree with you Roy that the man sees a baboon in every black man. And i think Bennett is doing more harm than good to his party the MDC-T. He has been in the media recently for the wrong reasons and um sure he is missing home very much.
