'His Excellency assured American investor' - hollow title and assurance for one who is illegitimate

Poor Professor Mthuli Ncube, ever since his appointment as Minister of Finance, he has clearly lost whatever intellectual ability he had until that point.

"His Excellency ... Mnangagwa assured the American investors that their investments will be safe in Zimbabwe. Zimbabwe will never be the same again," he said.

1) Mnangagwa has just blatantly rigged the recent elections and thus confirmed that Zimbabwe is still a de facto one-party dictatorship whose next regime change must be a military coup or following a bloodbath since the regime has just demonstrated it will not hesitate to shoot to kill to silence all dissent.

2) Does Minister Ncube think investors are that naïve not to have noticed Zanu PF rigged the elections and, if they did, they will be naïve to believe that their investments could ever be safe in a politically and economically unstable country as Zimbabwe.  

3) "Zimbabwe will never be the same again!" Yeah right! Zimbabwe is still under the iron grip of a corrupt and ruthless dictatorship, the same thugs are still in charge or be it they have change the top dog from Robert Mugabe to Emmerson Mnangagwa. Zimbabwe is no more than a whitewashed tomb, no among of whitewash can ever change the reality of the tomb being full of rot and decay!

I had a good laugh when I received the following on my social media network: "The brain is the most outstanding organ. It works 24 hours: 365 days: year in year out long before one is even born until the day one dies. Or, for those foolish enough to make that mistake, the day you join Zanu PF!"

Given the mess Zimbabwe is in, some of the blunders Zanu PF has made over the years defies logic; whoever wrote the above comment he/she hit the nail on the head.

Professor Ncube was sworn in as minister only few weeks ago and already he is blabbering the "His Excellency" in the true "Great Leader" tradition. His Excellency sounds so hollow and stupid when it is used on someone unworthy and who could be more unworthy than he who is illegitimate!
