My dear President, I wish you journey mercies as you go to the 72nd Session of the United Nations General Assembly.
When you get there don't forget to tell them of the bumper 2.1 million tonnes of maize expected to be realised through the Command Agriculture Program and Presidential Inputs Scheme.
Tell them of the 14 percent increase in exports that have been realised through the insightful Statutory Instrument (SI) 64 of 2016.
Tell them of the increase in electricity generation capacity that will follow the implementation of the Kariba South Hydro extension project and Batoka Gorge and Hwange Thermal Power Extension projects.
Tell them of the roads rehabilitation programme currently underway, with the Beitbridge-Chirundu Highway project set to kick-off soon, not only creating employment, but making Zimbabwe more visitor-friendly.
Tell them of the vast mineral resources that God keeps on supplying to us and the proceeds to be realised once we start value addition that you have always hammered on.
Tell them of the peace and tranquillity we continue to enjoy despite a few misguided and money-loving elements paid to cause anarchy, but have to date, failed dismally. Our people are free to traverse the length and breadth of our country; in fact our bodies are weary from all-day, all-night partying at the just-ended Harare International Carnival.
Lastly, dear Cde President, if some pseudo-Zimbabweans attempt to suggest that you are no longer popular here, show them pictures of the multitudes that gathered in Manicaland, Mashonaland Central , Mashonaland West, Mashonaland East, Midlands, Matabeleland North Matabeleland South and Masvingo for Presidential Youth Interface Rallies. Tell them that had they listened hard enough, they would have heard deafening chants of Gushungo!
Continue telling that the people of Zimbabwe say although we might have the oldest leader, we have the sharpest and although they might pretend not to listen when you speak, they secretly take notes for later dissection.
Gushungo, never stop telling them that Zimbabwe will never be a colony again. Batshele!
