Out of touch Msipa calls accusing Mujuru of corruption is 'unAfrican'!

The trouble with old crows like Cephas Msipa is they are alive but have been brain dead for decades. How else otherwise can one explain how he could be so hopeless out of touch with the reality? He was criticising the Mnangagwa faction for accusing VP Mujuru of being corrupt, calling it "unAfrican" and that the Zimbabwe public would not approve.
"They are doing it with the hope that the public will turn against her, but that's not correct, people abhor what they are doing," said Msipa.
Is the old idiot saying VP Mujuru is not corrupt; we all know that she is one of the most corrupt individuals in the country and last November had the audacity to insult the public by denying the PSMAS cash scandal. The nation's economic meltdown is due to rampant corruption and the regime doing nothing to end it and meanwhile the nation suffers. The public will not take kindly to Msipa rubbing hot chills in their eyes by denying that there is no corruption.
If Msipa is saying she is corrupt but it should be swept under the carpet because to do otherwise is unAfrican then the old toad has not been listening to what the nation has been saying all along. The nation has been crying for freedom of expression so that corruption in high places is exposed and not swept under the carpet so it can grow and spread like a cancer which is exactly what has happened here. The nation has been crying for a meaningful say in the governance of the country and one of the critic requirement in that is the public must be well informed.
We have 30 000 children out of school, 90% are out of work, 16% or 2 million Zimbabweans are living in heart-breaking poverty, etc. The demands to end corruption; freedom of expression; free, fair and credible elections; etc. are all part and parcel of the shopping basket requirements the nation needs to get out of this hell-hole Mugabe and Zanu PF landed us.
Indeed these are common sense requirements but if having common sense is unAfrican in Msipa's books then the soon this slug crews back under the log where he came from the better for this nation! To the old crow like Cephas Msipa the honour of the leader regardless of how dishonourable they might be is more important than the good and even the survival of the nation itself.
This nation is in the middle of a life and death crisis of Zanu PF's making and all Msipa can think about is defending the honour of his fellow egotistic tyrants. The sheer stupidity of his arguments must be dismissed the total contempt they rightly deserve.
