In a long and winding interview between Professor Jonathan Moyo and Supa Madiwanzira on ZiFM, the Professor says 'Mugabe lost 2008 election to a
'proverbial' donkey.'
In his own words, Professor Moyo said: "I think a political donkey
would, by the way I don't think that this is bad after all because the
Democratic party in America uses a donkey as its symbol and the
Americans were involved along with their cousins the British in the
formation of the MDC. So the people who are associated with the MDC, I
think would like to believe should not be offended by any association of
their leader with a proverbial donkey but a donkey is a representation
of something which is good for nothing ah but which benefit from the
circumstances from the moment. As far as am concerned and am not the
only one even as I was outside the party at the time, I did not believe
that this country deserved to have the MDC leader as the leader of the
country. And in order to dramatise that message I thought as I still do
now I could not come out with a better characterisation than to says
Watch out Work very hard if you don't you will lose to a donkey and the
donkey did win and this is a fact and it is up to people to choose which
aspect of this they want to emphasise they can say oh, but you said the
president was going to lose to a donkey and say that was somehow
unbecoming or they will say infact a donkey did win and all hell almost
broke loose as a result."
The interview was conducted a week before Mugabe signed the new constitution into law.
