Tsvangirai's admiration of Smith Regime amazing!

Morgan Tsvangirai's voicing of his admiration for the colonial Ian Smith regime which he said provided cheap beer he dearly misses clearly confirms his struggle against the grain of our national aspiration, and inspiration to shrug off neo-colonialism. Surely how can a sane person, if ever he is, miss the tyrannical terror and colonial injustices peddled by the white imperialistic minority during colonial era. Tsvangirai is an apologetic stooge of the British.

At a rally in Chitungwiza this weekend, Tsvangirai said he is nostalgic of the White colonial regime when he used to go for a drinking sprees and goes back home in his drunken stupor after using just one Rhodesia pound.

Sadly, he is a suffering from acute amnesia that the current abject poverty in which ordinary Zimbabweans are immersed is a direct result of his connivance with his British and their western allies who unilaterally imposed illegal sanctions on Zimbabwe thereby crippling the once growing local economy.

But if we can rewind backwards, did Tsvangirai really had the opportunity to imbibe pints of beer during the colonial where blacks were forbidden from taking such stuff? That time one had to be issued with a licence to allow you to drink beer, lest you get arrested for gross violation of the existing etiquette then. The white colonial regime exercised ugly segregation in which blacks were marginalized to the background.

So I wonder where Tsvangirai enjoyed that. On the contrary we cannot keep on praising our oppressors when we're under the impetus to work hard in improving the nation so that it becomes a good place for us to live. Probably the whites made Rhodesia their own haven, and now let's build a good Zimbabwe that we will be proud of.

But unfortunately, Tsvangirai is on a high drive of self-denial that he admires the former imperialists. Surely, if this man was by any accident going to be voted to the post of presidency where would he lead us to?

Obviously he would slump us into abyss. He seems to be suffering from political ideological malnutrition which is leading him to the verges of a political cliff where doom awaits him. He needs to engage a mental dietician so that he is wiped into straight thinking as an aspiring national leader. Meanwhile he looks crude, and an amazing gross lack of a sense of direction. May God come to his rescue!
