President Robert Mugabe yesterday urged Zimbabweans to be proud of their country and not lie in order for them get asylum in Western countries.
"We have nurses in Britain, wese aida kubuda munyika aingopa mhosva kunavaMugabe (everyone who wanted to leave the country pointed fingers to Mugabe)," said Mugabe.
"Vari kutiza munyika hanzi VaMugabe, hanzi kune njodzi kumusha ndiri kuda kubatwa (those who were running away from the country said its because of Mugabe, they said there is danger, they want to arrest me).
"So, I became a passport. Waingoti "Mugabe" wonzi pinda. Even Mai Banana (wife to the country's first president Canaan Banana) when she wanted to stay with her sons, hanzi vaMugabe. But honestly what could we do to the wife of a former president?
"Saka tiri kuti kune vanhu ivavo, une nyika yako, makarwira nyika yenyu. Kwave kuenda kukanyika kanotonhora kuti zvinzi wakaenda kuEngland chete, wongouya kuzofira kuno chete? Ngativei vanhu vanovimba nezvavari, let's create jobs for our kids. We have mining engineers, and the mines are there."
