Comrade Mugabe reportedly took his wife, Grace, and children, Bona and Bellarmine, to New York where he attended the 68th Session of the UN General Assembly meeting and berated Western countries for maintaining sanctions against Zimbabwe (Source: http://www.newzimbabwe.com/news) as part of an 80-member delegation to the world leaders’ annual gathering. This is really unbelievable in a country where the majority are suffering – in a country where there are wide-spread reports of children dropping out of school because their parents cannot afford the fees.
Recently elected parliamentarian Comrade Joseph Chinotimba just failed to say corruption begins from the head (Mugabe) in his recent inaugural speech in Parliament.
Zimbabweans must re-visit our dear Comrade President’s speech as quoted by Garikai Mazara in an article he titled We need a nation of whistle-blowers, and then ask our dear President if he is really leading by example: “Who are the beneficiaries? The people or yourself? Corruption, kazhinji tinotaura nenyaya ye corruption. Ava vakuru muri kuregerera corruption, but corruption-ka, it’s not that easy to detect.
Painoitwa pachivande-vande. The fact that one has emerged rich may be proof, proof of corruption, but it’s hidden proof. Haungoti nokuti uyu akavaka imba, aah akaba mari. Ko kana akakwereta and vanhu vakachenjeraka mazuva ano. Ndakatora chikwereti; ndakazoita zvakati.
“Hamungangorambe muchiti ngativhenekei, ngatiitei zvakati. But those who know that there have been payments made should say so. Vanopihwa macommissions vachiona kuti macommissions ari kuitwa pass, must be able to come out and tell us that, indeed, ehe pakati pane zvakati zvakaitwa, zvakati zvakati. We would be very grateful. But we can’t victimise people merely because there is an appearance of a person prospering when circumstances for his prospering are not that visible. We will want proof, proof, proof, proof.

It was reported that Mbeki hinted to the president that there were people who were demanding bribes from would-be South African investors but what did he do? What kind of whistle blowing does he want.His successive governments have been made of people who are corrupt to the bone, but what has done about it? Publicly naming sardines like Masimirembwa is just nothing. Where in the world would a virtually penniless person borrow money only to become a multi-millionnaire overnight?Where did the likes of Kasukuwere,Obert Mpofu borrow their riches so that we could all go there and borrow?Don’t try to fool us Mr President?Madhoiri akaramba kundipa mari.
