VICE-PRESIDENT Phelekezela Mphoko is giving government
nightmares as he is refusing to vacate a five star hotel.
Here is a nation whose health service has all but collapsed for
lack of funds and yet it has money to house the ruling elite in a five star
hotel for 500 days! The regime has already poured $4 million in buying the
individual a new mansion and he is not moving in because it is not yet perfect!
One has heard of people being greedy and of insatiable primeval greed;
what is happen in Zimbabwe, seen as it must with the contrasting back drop of
the grinding poverty, hopelessness and despair of the impoverished mass; is
greed gone mad.
Zimbabwe is now being
ruled by the certified lunatics; they cannot be held legally of politically responsible
for anything they say or do!
“If a madman were to come into this room
with a stick in his hand, no doubt we should pity the state of his mind; but
our primary consideration would be to take care of ourselves. We should knock
him down first, and pity him afterwards."

The madness at the heart of Zimbabwe’s ruling
elite has now reached point where their insatiable primeval greed constitutes a
serious threat to the human lives and national cohesion and stability.
We must knock down the ruling elite to save
them from eating all super refined five star foods every day and the very soles
of their feet are evolving into skin from wearing Gucci designer shoes, slippers
and socks! Besides how can we continue to justify the suffering of the millions,
without whose sacrifice of bare necessities of life the ruling elite would not
afford their obscene luxuries, knowing all this good living is eroding the
ruling elite’s health and sanity!
36 years of absolute power has turned Zanu PF ruling
elite into raving lunatics we must implement the democratic reforms to stop the
party rigging elections; that is the only sure way to get these lunatics out of
office and save ourselves from the consequences of their insatiable greed.
Before his appointment as VP, VP Mphoko was an ambassador and as such would have have lived a modest lifestyle but now that he is VP nothing is good enough for him. He really does not care that millions are living in abject poverty and he refuses to see the linkage between his extravagant lifestyle and their poverty although he accepts the two are pay from the same public funds.
ReplyDeleteWe are paying dearly for our failure to ensure we have a political system in which those in power are accountable to the people! VP Mphoko cannot imagine himself being accountable to anyone except President Mugabe. Given the President spends $ 3 million on each of his three to four overseas trips a month, with is his probably his annual hotel bill, the VP most therefore consider himself not a big spender at all.
The only way out is to have free and fair elections! How I wish those MDC idiots, Tsvangirai, Biti, Ncube, etc. had implemented the reforms; we would not be in this mess still otherwise!
