A Harare MP for Zabnu PF Psychology Maziwisa has hailed President Robert Mugabe for delivering what he called a historic speech to the delegates during the Africa Union in Addis Ababa Ethiopia.
"Yesterday (Saturday) at the AU, President Robert Mugabe delivered what will go down as one of the greatest speeches in African history," Maziwisa said.
"By making a strong case that Africans should be treated as equals at the UN, he dealt effectively with the crude and insulting proposition that Africa is inferior to the western world."
He said Mugabe did not mince his words.
"He made the simple, powerful and truthful point that at the UN only a handful of nations were allowed permanent seats in the Security Council- a state of affairs that he argued was undemocratic and needed to stop. President Mugabe spelt this out with so much logic, skill and passion that even critics conceded his speech was a masterclass," said Maziwisa.
