I would vote for a White Candidate in Zimbabwean 2018 election

President Mugabe says the last White Zimbabweans must leave and I say I want more Whites to come and clean President Mugabe's mistakes in Zimbabwe.
Colonial Whites were very bad behaved but that era has passed.
I praise President Mugabe for fighting Colonialism but, today as I write, I wish President Mugabe had not succeeded in winning Independence.
President Mugabe and his favoured lot are the only ones who benefitted from Independence. President Mugabe and his select few, of which I am excluded, have big expensive houses. They all have newer and beautiful wives. Their money is counted in millions. They have many farms and many slaves.
President Mugabe and his rich select few do not need Whites in Zimbabwe. I understand why they do not need Whites but since we are all Zimbabweans, I also have a view. I want Whites in Zimbabwe. I do not choose to want Whites to come and take over because I have short memory of how Whites used to mistreat us. I am forced by hunger, poverty and the shame my country has become under our rich and insensitive Black rulers.
I wake up in the morning to buy a newspaper to find a job, instead of job adverts, I find headlines about my rich President demanding the sacking of Whites. Rich Blacks are not looking for work. President Mugabe and his armed lot do not need a Whiteman who provides jobs. Rich Blacks use their money to laugh at power Blacks whereas rich Whites use their money to employ poor Blacks. Contrasting between the two, I am left with no conclusion but to go against the Independence which means poverty and joblessness to me and mega-wealth to Mugabe and his best favourites.
If a single White British man makes a mistake of contesting elections in 2018, he will laugh until he is taken to hospital because he will get 90% vote from people like me. We have had enough of Mugabe bringing in Chinese who pay slave wages and only employ Zanu-PF people.
President Mugabe can never win an election against a White contester in Zimbabwe.
