When a leader makes a fool of himself

There were times when I used to listen to Robert Mugabe's speeches and say to myself wow. These days I listen and fight back tears.
JUST LISTEN TO THIS:  Kana muine mafuta ari pasi apa, zvicherwa zviri pasi apa, ivhu riri renyu, ko hupfumi hwamunoda kune ava ndehwei. Muri marema here? Vanouya vachiti tiri kukupai tumari utwu, asi mafuta ndivo vanenge vachiapedza.


I ask myself: Does he know what he means by what he says? Britain and America are not the reasons for anything Zimbabwe does and is today. The gallant men and women who lie in unmarked graves in the forests across southern Africa gave their lives to drive out the British and Americans.
That war was fought. Other people's children died for this country while Mugabe and his fat cronies who are supping on the country's fat hid in leafy suburbs of Maputo and Lusaka.
Is it not Mugabe who was in China recently mortgaging the country and the future of our children? 
The Chinese are mining all the diamonds. Building their towns on Zimbabwean diamonds. Creating wealth and then we run to them asking to borrow money made from our diamonds. 
Chiadzwa villagers have nothing to their name. Zimbabwe has nothing to show for it. Schools. Hospitals. Industries. Roads. There is nothing to show that Zimbabwe is a diamond country. 
It's because of Mugabe who goes begging to Beijing for help thinking that he is 'fixing' the British and the Americans.Who has given the Russians rights to milk our uranium? Yet this is the same Mugabe who rants and raves about the British and the Americans. Soon the Russians will party on Zimbabwe. The ordinary folk will get nothing in return. Mugabe makes a fool of himself by trying to play the Chinese and Russians against the British and the Americans.All these imperialists have the same goal - to build their countries on Africa's wealth. Africa's idiocy. Stupidity.
While we are eating dust, the British are looking after their people. They have social safety nets. Same with the Americans. Yet Mugabe's old age do not have any. 

JUST LISTEN TO THIS TOO: Isu takati kwete, maBritish muri kwenyu, ivhu nderedu, zvicherwa ndezvedu, mazano ekuzvichera ndeedu, garai kwenyu, tinogara kwedu, mapurazi amakanga matora ndeedu, akudzokera kwatiri.  
Does Mugabe know that his daughter Bona has just grabbed a farm? A farm where the farmer grew seed maize? Does Mugabe know that his step-son also grabbed a farm? And just how many farms does his wife own now? So in actual fact, IVHU NDERENYU PRESIDENT NEMHURI YENYU. The truth is MAPURAZI MUNOITA MADIRO NAWO NOKUTI NYIKA NDEYENYU.
AGAIN LISTEN TO THIS: Tinoda kupa rukudzo kuvanhu veAfrica vanotipawo rukudzo. Vari kuona kuti Zimbabwe ndiyo nyika iri pamberi kudarika dzimwe pane kucherechedza zvinangwa zvevatema, vane kurwisana nevadzvanyiriri vanoda kuuya nenzira dzakasiyana siyana nekutora upfumi hwevatema, saka rukudzo rwehunhu hwedu hwakawanda huri kuratidzwa muZimbabwe, Zimbabwe isingatye, Zimbabwe yarwisana nevasvetasimba, saka aiwa apa tinoti isu hatina vamwe vari sure kwedu vatinoti ava tinovimba navo, tingabatane maoko navo. Vanhu vakutya zvakakomba, kutya kwacho hakusi kutya kwepfuti, kwava kutya kuti aah, tikava nekutukana nemaAmericans, tikava nekutukana nevarungu vedu ivo, ko rubatsiro tozoruwana kupi.
How does Mugabe mistake pity for respect? All the countries that have taken in Zimbabweans have done so for two reasons: To use the skilled ones to develop their economies or they have pitied Zimbabweans. One thing for sure is that: It's not respect for and of Mugabe and Zimbabwe's misgovernance.
There are no vasvetasimba any more in Zimbabwe apart from Zanu-PF and its corrupt, insensitive and heartless leaders who are taking everything for themselves.
Our economy did not die because Mugabe fought the British and the Americans. It died because we could not pay back loans. Who can keep on giving a country that does not pay back?
