Mugabe's wrong speech is not because of 'sanctions' - declares Chairman Marufu

Mr. Mugabe, Zimbabwe's strongman's magnum steel courage has been questioned by the scattered sons of the soil in Africa's strongest economy - South Africa, forget about Nigeria's charade.
Wangu-Mine, went around the cities and informal settlements meeting fellow Zimbabweans interrogating and trying to gather their views about the recent joke in which Mr. Mugabe took delight in reading an old script with vigor spurred on by an overzealous Zanu PF legislative stooges.
In Pretoria, I met enterprising business woman, Precious Mutete who doubles as a political analyst and she expressed serious concern for the despot, "In as much as humanity calls on us to spare a thought for the elderly, Mugabe is in a mess of his own making. Why is he still holding onto state power as if it is his father's estate? Mugabe should simply pass on the baton to a younger person preferably Tsvangirai and he will be remembered as a legend."
Juggling between his ever busy mobile phone and our hastily conducted interview was Bongani Mathe a director with one the top security companies in South Africa. "I just wonder and I am utterly astounded as to where Robert Mugabe harvests his misplace courage to take Zimbabwe as if it is an artifact of his own making. Zimbabweans are mired in the abyss of poverty whilst he is living a paradise replica lifestyle. Many of our countrymen are in abject poverty living in shacks exposed to crime, xenophobia and diseases whilst comfort is reserved for him and his cronies."
A lion and lioness anger was depicted when Tinashe Chifamba and Rita Tshabalala, two leading opposition politicians were asked for their views on the Mugabe speech on the event of the opening of parliament. Speaking in unison, a compound of both syllables and phrases allocation of which could not be explicit however paraphrased by the cool and eloquent victim of Mugabe's rule, Tangai Marufu, " Mugabe has failed our country. The event of him reading the wrong speech has nothing to do with the so called sanctions as parroted by the mentally challenged Josefa Chinotimba. Mugabe should simply do the noble thing and resign."
Taking a dig at Mugabe was Natalie Tembo the defacto Zimbabwe consular general in Durban - taking into consideration the profound humanitarian work she has done during the xenophobic attacks. "I will not dwell much on the Mugabe speech because to the forward looking Zimbabwean, the despot is part of our sad history. Let me say I am excited by the forthcoming coalition of all progressive forces under the stewardship of Dr. Tsvangirai. It should be on record that the Amai Mujuru clique is coming in to add the liberation history dimension and flavor. It is not about numbers because it is common knowledge that the MDC T has always won elections but failed to annex state power. As the MDC, we have all the grassroots support and Mujuru will only bring in institutional loyalty from the security sector among others."
