Mugabe's contempt for Zimbabwe
10 Jan 2017 at 20:56hrs | Views
Happy and content must be the land whose president is confident and secure enough to fly off on a month-long holiday with bucket and spade and doesn't even leave a forwarding address.
There are few such enviable countries, especially in Africa where coups are not uncommon. But Zimbabwe is obviously one such haven of peace and stability.
Vice-President Mnangagwa, 'acting Boss', indicated as much when he disclosed that he was unable to ask Mugabe whether the late lamented former provincial governor Peter Chanetsa qualified as a Hero because he couldn't get hold of the Hero-in-Chief for his ruling.
Rumours that Mugabe is spending all his time building sandcastles on a beach in Singapore are apparently far from the mark. China is on his itinerary, as well as other holiday hotspots such as Mali and Equatorial Guinea and, of course Dubai, where he will no doubt satisfy Grace's demand for a diamond big enough for the next president.
He will probably take the opportunity while in Dubai to sort out the little difficulty over payment for the $1.3 million gem that she has rejected. In the meantime Grace has told her stooges to ignore the court order that she should leave the properties in Harare she seized from the diamond dealer.
