Lies, lies, lies
Zimbabwe has to all intents and purposes run out of food. Mealie meal is dribbling into the country at a rate that is barely holding back starvation, black market prices are beyond the reach of the average person and the commodity continues to be controlled by the usual zpf dimwits and thugs.
The Chronicle has outdone itself in exposing Government’s usual lies:
Cde Mutasa assured the nation of enough grain adding that the commodity was available at the Grain Marketing Board depots. “There is sufficient grain and noone will starve because as the Government we are there to serve the people,” he said. Asked to explain the shortage of mealiemeal in Bulawayo, Cde Mutasa said the province had enough maize supply.
He then goes on to blame the millers for the shortage of maize meal in Zimbabwe’s second largest city. Has this criminal lunatic forgotten the real cause for this nation’s demise - the farm invasions, the unruly destruction of a once vibrant economy, the orchestrated collapse of this latter day bread basket to the region?
What a joke, let mutasa come and join the queues for this precious commodity. Let him look into the eyes of the children who are surviving on one meal a day. Let him spout his lies face to face with the millions of hungry Zimbabweans.
Then you get another inane headline in this same paper that
“Zimbabwe’s retail sector is projecting brisk business in the second quarter owing to an expected bumper harvest that will improve the availability of commodities.”
Are these government ministers of malfunction all nuts? Are they on drugs?
Oh but the blame game is the only way they can justify our homeland’s tragedy, mugabe blames the British, his own ministers, the whites, the South Africans and his line of political claptrap is mimicked by all in his cabinet.
The greatest tragedy of all is that Zimbabweans are hitting out at themselves instead of the real enemy, the masters of misrule, the zpf government.
How I wish I could show the people of Zimbabwe their illegitimate government is on its knees, zpf is weak, its members divided and security forces terrified of the power the people hold in their hands. I long for non violent rebellion; I doubt it will ever come.
