Self-exiled MDC-T treasurer general Roy Bennett has labelled General Chiwenga a baboon.
In his latest post on his facebook page (Pachedu1), Roy Bannett posted a youtube video link with two individuals with Mugabe and Chiwenga's faces.
By the time our reporter visited Bennett's profile, it was written: "A youtube doing the rounds causing lots of humour on the one side (Nearly wet my brooks) and the reverse on the other side surley we cannot continue to allow these actors to keep a viloent grip on power??? Morgan Tsvangirai a New President in a New Zimbabwe ! Viva the people Viva mdc.
"General Chiwenga the Baboon and Robert Mugabe, second husband to Grace.
"A tribute to General Constantine Chiwenga the Baboon and The Head of State, Commander in Chief Armed Forces, 1st Secretary to ZANU PF and 2nd Husband to Grac..."
The youtube video which was published on 25 Apr 2013 has a caption: "A tribute to General Constantine Chiwenga and The Head of State, Commander in Chief Armed Forces, 1st Secretary to ZANU PF and 2nd Husband to Grace Mugabe - Robert Mugabe; the two men who control Zimbabwe. They have delivered the wonderfully pillaged country we see today. They are caring, kind men who will go to any lengths to serve the people they govern over. Their relationship is complicated, but best explained thorough our movie. Enjoy." The caption does not have the word baboon in it.
The video has attracted different opinions both on facebook and on the youtube website.
One Lenon Mnyulwa took exception to the use of the word baboon, Mnyulwa wrote, "Hate him or love him why call him baboon. A term used in reference to blacks by die hard racist Rhodies masquerading as freedom fighters of the people they once thought they held in eternal bondage. How long shall they kill our prophets while we stand aside and look. I might not support everything they do and some of their policies and atrocities but nomatter how fluent a white man is in Shona...I can't let them call me Nigger ..."
