Job Sikhala a failed politician

It is quite perplexing for a self-proclaimed democrat in the comic character of Job Wiwa Sikhala to say that President Robert Mugabe is worse than Satan. Such warped comments can only come from culturally uncouth and myopic persons who purport to champion democracy whose tenets they are nonchalantly oblivious of.
I like Job's enthusiasm, especially if in a zoo superintended by master mime, Morgan Tsvangirai, and it ends there. But then, what made him leave MDC and form what's-so-called, MDC 99 briefcase thing that was inconsequential as its leader, before recapitulating to rejoin MDC-T?
This amply shows that there is profound confusion on person of Sikhala. The controversial MDC-T politician says even Satan is better than President Robert Mugabe in all facets of being evil, as he has presided over the killings and impoverish of many Zimbabweans. To say that Sikhala is a traitor would be a harsh judgment. My psychologist colleague opines that Job has a serious psychosis that may likely lend him in trouble with authorities if untreated, and I tend to agree.
We know the context of the response that Sikhala was reacting to claims made by the MDC Renewal Team Leader Tendai Biti that Mugabe is better than the MDC-T leader Morgan Tsvangirai. Is it of substance that Sikhala can say that President Robert Mugabe is a true epitome of the devil incarnate and he cannot be better than Satan himself? He goes on to say that his kid is better than President Mugabe. We can ask here, "Where is your African mentality and culture Job?" Have respect for your leaders and their legacy.
Someone cannot become Satan because he has failed, that is a joke Sikhala for we know that you utter rubbish as you are trying to secure a place ahead of the congress. In spite all odds I wonder who would ever dare voting Sikhala who is such an opportunistic politician. His insatiable desire for power is so disheartening.
Like him or hate him, President Mugabe is one of the few surviving icons of Africa's nationalist old guard, whose life is celebrated the whole of Africa and beyond, while his homeland is destined to be the darling for generations to come. In Zimbabwe individuals that have failed to benefit from President Mugabe's benevolent policies are rest assured to be cursed by their future generations. Wiwa, be careful you might be one of them.
