Dear Mr Mugabe

I hope I find you well dear Former President of our Republic of Zimbabwe. I would like to make it glass clear dear Former President that you are misreading the moods of the people in Zimbabwe. I read with total dismay how misinformed you are about the people of Zimbabwe: the people of Zimbabwe you misruled over the past 38 years are happy you are out of the power equation forever!!!! Please get it from me dear former president; you are not missed at all. As someone who comes from the western region, we wish you left your rule when you started to fail this country long back, long back. We hated you the day you took over the rule from Ian Douglas Smith in 1980. We somehow had this premonition that you were a fake leader. You even took this country's leadership from British colonialism; you and Zanu PF decided to go it alone in the first country election in 1979 without Zapu PF, after the Lancaster conference: from that day we were sure something greater than thunder was to come. It is Jonathan's opinion alone if he likens you with Fidel Castro of Cuba. You are nowhere near that icon called Fidel Castro. You are a murderer, a ruthless, a thug, self-idolising, self loving and curiously not aware how much damage you are infecting on your children and children's children.

Dear Former President, you are really misinformed by your G40 cabals that your presidency is missed in this great country Zimbabwe: no, you are not missed at all Former President; your sudden down fall was the best thing that could happen to us in Zimbabwe. The peoples of this great country were happy to see your back, they collapsed with happiness. Somehow you are still hallucinating about your time when you were in power. Did you see the jubilation of peoples in the streets of all towns and cities when the army under Chiwenga took over from you? Did you see the sea of peoples collapsing to one another because of joy about your shame dethronement from power? You were humiliated. We were so happy to the extent that we forgot for a while what was going to happen to us under the military later. We even shelved those fears of a military rule but just decided to take part in the jubilation: the outgoing of a long, ruthless, murderer, a pathological dictator. We could not believe what we saw in the streets. I personally never saw that coming because you ruled so long with the assistance of the Zanu PF army that betrayed you in your twilight years.

No, Mr. Former President, do not ever dream of a come-back: we do not want you back. Zimbabweans are not stupid as you think: alone your party Zanu PF wanted you to leave power long back. You have TV coverage in your Blue-roof; you should have seen how the Zanu PF legislators alone sprung for joy when the letter of resignation you wrote was read by the Parliament Speaker resigning from power. They are the ones who wanted you to be impeached. If they wanted you as you now purport or claim, the impeachment was going to fail as you had the parliamentary majority in parliament.

I have this feeling you got away with murder for so long and it is for this reason that you can still think the people of Zimbabwe are that stupid to ever wish a despot like you back to his misrule them once more. Every home in Zimbabwe is a casualty of your rule. We the people of Mathebeleland have never wanted your rule the past 38 years. It is for this reason we can never, but never want you back; you are perhaps having after-effects of long rule: absolute power you meted on us with the help of the Zanu PF army that was all out partisan was indeed absolute . We can also say that the Zimbabwean army is a Zanu PF army and never for the people of Zimbabwe.

Sit down and really think deeply about your fellow Zanu PF you eliminated even before independence of 1980. You systematically removed all hope we had from the very able expertise we had. We cannot even name all those who fell down with your sword: very many. Let us remember the latest casualties: General Rex Nhongo aka General Mujuru, the person who saw your ascendancy to power in 1980. When you thought you had used him enough, he was eliminated by smoking a cigarette in his bedroom in Beatrice Farm, a cigarette that caught fire and burned him and the whole house. When you writhe with anger that General Chiwenga betrayed you, would you perhaps sit quietly in you blue-roof and think about those whom you betrayed yourself. Alone you tried to eliminate Immersin several means: your "blue-boy" for about 50 years: To note just one incident we all know better, that poisoning that was tried and failed on him was indeed one lethal trial that back fired. Today I believe it was an assassination attempt of his life by whomever. You tried to betray Immersin, even eliminate him.

Your age dear former President should also assist you in your decisions to really call it a day in politics and never dream to make a power-come-back. At 94 years you are an overly spent force Mukwena. Your thinking faculties are so impaired due to age and the number of lives lost before and after you took over power in Zimbabwe. You say South Africa's Zuma betrayed you, the SADC betrayed you: AU betrayed you and the UN betrayed you. You suggest they should have intervened militarily to rescue you from the coup d'état, rescue a 94 year old from power. Which right-minded government in SADC was going to risk-send young people: young solders to reinstate an overly spent force, 93 and 3/4 years Robert Mugabe in power: a President again who was making rounds of embarrassment in world conferences, sometimes sleeping yourself all the time at conferences, or sometimes near falling in world stages, your urine bag showing all time in your dressing, going for just an eye check-up in faraway places leaving our own medical services in Zimbabwe that are in tatters. Jokes are allowed perhaps. Please do not joke with our lives otherwise you insult us, an already insulted people we shall live these insults for some generations to come.

Evidently you failed to read the national and international geo-politics correctly. These regional and international bodies were fed-up of you. you had become a joke in the international stage. You never saw this, even your G-40 group never assisted you in sensing the fact that there was a looming coup on the way and the SADC was not going to assist in that case because they wanted you gone from Zimbabwean politics: you are just too old, dear Former President. When you say South Africa betrayed you, did you not betray the processes that led to the independence of South Africa? The ANC- South African government knew well where they will touch you where it will hurt you more: Talking about Mugabe frustrating the independence of their country was to be subtly done. They "did it". They will "did it" again. By South Africa not intervening in Zimbabwe's military coup, it was a "pay-back" time that you did not see or ever thought it can happen.

The poverty we experience right now in Zimbabwe is not something to joke about dear Former President; you destroyed a once vibrant economy Africa, a jewel of Africa. Here you are dreaming of coming back at 94 years: to do what at 94 years of age. You really think that Zimbabwe and its resources are yours and your family; you think you owned this country: Lapho ke you are wrong dear former President, Zimbabwe belongs to all of us, you were wrongly given a job, a civil service, top job that did not indicate you should also abuse its resources for the benefit of you and your family and those cronies near you who sang yes and amen to Robert Mugabe. The fact that you dream of coming back is the fact that you saw Zimbabwe as your personal property and the reality has caught up with you: Zimbabwe does not belong to you: it rightly belongs to all of us: all ethnic groups and races born in this country.

It will take about 50 years to put back Zimbabwe to its past glorious year of good and well functioning economy of Ian Douglas Smith levels. There are "born free" children who are now adults and they do not know that Zimbabwe or let's call it Rhodesia then had a vibrant economy that had a dollar power whose value was even higher than other western countries back then. These generations know only misery, dilapidating schools, hospitals infrastructure decay, and bad functioning civil service. All that took 38 years to be run down by a clueless regime called Zanu PF and Mugabe as President.

Somehow you are really ill advised by your young Turks in the G-40 cabal group. The desperation in them takes desperation to dizzy-heights. We realize too that they wish to make a come-back using you as a cover to drum up your government as legitimate government that was usurped by the military. We the people of Zimbabwe are clever; do not underestimate us people of this great country. We were indeed living in a dictatorship that did not allow us to air our views freely and fairly. We shall sort this out through the ballot. Our voices being silenced did not mean that we approved of your governance for once. The people of Zimbabwe; if they were a chance to vote freely and fairly, they can produce the right leadership that can bring change: bring hope to this great nation. How many voices did we hear asking able people like Strive Masiyiwa to come back and solve economic evils in our country?

We have Strive Masiyiwa, we have Nkosana Moyo, we have Simba Makoni, we have Nelson Chamisa, some dynamic young man who brings fresh hope and change in electorates, we have Rudo Gaidzanwa, we have Moses Mzila-Ndlovu, we have Advocates Majome, and Mahere, and we have Mildred Mnkandla: we have Arthur Mutambara, we have Moses Chamboko. All these people are Zimbabwean talents that can proudly put Zimbabwe to where it belongs; success. Can you Mr. Former President, at your age beat these young and dynamic expertise and still think you can be driver of global economy in 2018? You are hallucinating Mr. Former President.

At best you can remain silent and preserve the little legacy if there was one. Nobody will listen to you, instead we laugh at you and rightly so. The only people who can listen when you open your mouth are your G-40 cabal. Those are the people who have lost more than you: you are old now but them they are young and in politics, life can be that long. G-40 squad are young people, they miscalculated seriously and somehow they thought they had got what they wanted- power: they thought they were cleverer than the lot- Lacoste. We can say it with equal truth that G-40 destroyed you and your Presidency, they failed to read the mood of the people and the army. Your wife's ranting, kicking a screaming at rallies was fertile ground for a looming disaster, and indeed it happened, you left power by the power of the gun.

When you say politics should never be led by the gun, did you not use the very gun to determine the poll results in 2008 when Richard Morgan Tsvangirai won the polls by a landslide victory. It pains you now Mr. Former President, the gun determined the politics against you this time round in November 2017. They very army you trusted so much chucked you out of power in a humiliating way, leaving almost powerless. What goes around comes back with vengeance. Who lives by the sword dies by it, they say. In this case who ever lives by betrayal will be betrayed one day.

Your "blue-Boy" is struggling to get anything moving in new government. President Mnangagwa is seriously challenged by presidency. The unrealistic c promises he made to all of us and the world at large are dismally failing and worse he does not realize this. Your "Blue-Boy" has no clue whatsoever. He is not smart as we well told, he is not the best of intelligence we have to resuscitate the overly run down economy. He has many traits from you that are devastating; he read your misgoverning script diligently. There is nothing so far that tells us he is the man for the top civil service job. All those politicians who hero-worshiped you, overnight turned ‘Lacoste just to get their positions back. To name one, Obert Mpofu, your "obedient son" is more Lacoste than Immersin. Your "Blue-Boy" went to Davos to literally give Zimbabwean resources away to the global Rich club. Your "Blue-Boy" is neo-liberal in the sense of the word: if he knew what a liberal economy is, he would never have gone to Davos in the first place. We wonder still that if he knows what he is doing. Seriously uncharismatic, a tale of empty promises, weather he is unelectable we shall see this at the polls come general elections.

Where there is life there is hope. We shall not stop to hope for a better Zimbabwe. We hoped to see you leave leadership/Presidency by any means: either by death, we indeed wished you to die; this is how bad our values for life had gone; gone below the pale. But indeed even losing power by coup d'état was still welcome; hence the citizens were happy in the streets of all cities in Zimbabwe when your letter of resignation was read in Parliament on that day. It is a day that made history: a day that will be in our Zimbabwe history books: the day Mugabe conceded defeat, lost power. I personally was happy when you were butted out of power; I am indeed worried about the future of this great country with your "Blue-Boy" Immersin as President. Nothing has changed so far. He is just a clone of Robert Mugabe. Some said he is a smart man: that smartness is not evident in his short time in power as President. He is hero-worshiped just like your time as President: they liken him to some Jesus- to- near- God himself by those religious institutions that hero-worshiped you when you were President. But because God is good and kind, He/she knows when we shall cross-over; in the meantime we shall wait for God's grace.
