Information Minister Jonathan Moyo steps in Grace Mugabe's political blunder by doing all he can do in the situation - since he cannot deny what she said, he play with words and the public's mind!
"Some people like to ride on the back of the President, they think that being VP (Vice President) means sitting in the office and Mugabe working for them. They think it's just a position that you can play with. We don't want that, we want capable people. We want people who will assist the President to work for this country." that is what Grace Mugabe said in Gwanda on Monday.
In steps our Minister of Information (Misinformation and Propaganda) and he tells us that when Grace Mugabe castigated the 'do nothing' VP she was NOT referring to VP Joice Mujuru.
At this point in time Zimbabwe has one doing nothing VP, this set to change in a few weeks when the over-burdened nation will get usual compliment of two 'doing nothing' VPs, and her name is Joice Mujuru. Grace did not need to name the VP she was referring to since there is only one and she does nothing.
To be fair Mai Mujuru is not the only senior government official who has done fcuk off for all their decades in high office, chillaxing is an integral part of this totally dysfunctional regime. Yes Grace Mugabe was spoilt for choice, she could have picked anyone out of the Zanu PF herd of 'do nothing' Ministers, Deputy Ministers, Governors, etc., etc. When she spoke in Gwanda on Monday she was not speaking of a 'do nothing' Minister, Deputy Minister, or anyone else; she was speaking of a do nothing VP and since the is only one VP who too does nothing there is no doubt that she was talking of VP Joice Mujuru.
If our Minister of Propaganda is trying to tell us Grace could not have been talking about VP Joice Mujuru because she is NOT one of the 'do nothing' officials; then the Minister must name one notable and useful thing she has done in all her years in government. She is a billionaire in her own right, that is definitely notable but not useful since she has made all her fortune, like all the other billionaire and millionaires in Zanu PF, from corruption and looting.
All Minister Moyo is telling us black is white and the sun now rises from the West and sets in the East in the true Zanu PF condescending tradition. Minister Zanu PF has ridden roughshod over this nation's dreams of freedom, liberty and human dignity for 34 years that does not mean we all do not know what is going on; we are not all stupid!
No one, absolutely no one, but the Supremo President would have had the audacity to publicly denounce VP Mujuru as a VP "who does nothing". The nation is holding its collective breathe to see whether Robert Mugabe is going to finally rein in Grace and put her in her place. If he does nothing then we will all know that there has been a palatial Blue Roof coup, Grace now rules the roost!
So, now that we understand each other that we are not all stupid, is RG Mugabe going to finally rein in his wife or can we now conclude that there has indeed been a palatial Blue Roof coup and that Grace now rules the roost!
"There're some among us who would like to kick up some dust, do-up confusion, mischief and so forth," Minister Moyo threatened. After 34 years of a 'do nothing', corruption and tyrannical regime that has force 2 million into a life of abject poverty this nation is more scarred of a loose cannon in State House than it is of your threats, Minister!
Grace Mugabe is not going to improve the lives of the millions of ordinary Zimbabweans by replacing Zanu PF's 'do nothing' culture with her shopaholic and her propensity to grab everything for herself, family and friends. What this nation needs to get out of this hell Mugabe and Zanu PF have landed it in is to get all the democratic reforms implemented and free, fair and credible elections held. We know Grace Mugabe is not here to make get the reforms implemented but would rather do her uttermost to ensure that never happen! Remember, we are not all stupid!
