For this reason Mugabe should resign

New York, United States - The Zimbabwean citizenry have long repaid their debt to our liberators turned villains.
I am a distinguished war veteran with indisputable marks of political apostleship, a graphitti of messianic inscriptions littering my honourable persona but neither am a political hyena nor a messianic self-proclaim in the mould of my erstwhile Zanu PF counterparts.
I have fought a good fight in the quest to liberate my motherland perimetered by the Bantu chuckle-speak of my Moyo-Chirandu ancestory, for we hold claim to the Great Zimbabwe chieftaiship.
Lest politics, a daily albatross on our corporate necks as a people distracts me from being a social being, all hominids observe humanity lest Ramapithecus disowns my homo sapien sapien identity.
In the dawn of that 7th day of January, 1994 -in the then burstling shining getho of Highfields - my sweet sleep was cut short.
It was the close family and neighbours congregated in our house with maNdumiso leading in prayer, uttering her supplications in a flowing and sweet Ndebele stanza and prose hybrid.
Not be be outdone, my mother was groaning with a soprano tune as her womb was just about to give life to a soul.
Fast forward to the same afternoon, before Mr. Mugabe destroyed the Ian Smith built health delivery system and infrastructure - mom and dad were back home with a beautiful baby girl - Blessing Mazodze!
Lest we forget, at 23, she is not a child anymore but a mature lady, long migrated from the motherland Zimbabwe fleeing a crumbling nation whose debris has nothing to scramble for any meaningful picks.
With Mr. Mugabe at 93, with no hope in the near future of when his insatiable appetite for power will be quenched, I feel pity for my sibling who is four generations apart from this fossil-body despot.
Happy birthday my baby sister but I promise it would have been better if Mugabe had resigned.
Enjoy this birthday and may your birthday wish be like that of Herod's daughter:
Instead of John's head - Wish for Mugabe's resignation.
