Mugabe is still ‘not very PC’!
This question came in by email and I guess refers to this article here:
Did you know that Mugabe just recently donated computers to a rural school which doesn’t even have electricity?
As our emailer pointed out, it is indeed bizarre to construct a ceremony around handing over computers in a country where there are regular black-outs. Even more bizarre to hand out computers to schools in rural areas where electricity is hit and miss and dial-up connections (what a dream) are unheard of.
This is not to say that I don’t want a country where this is possible, just that I think it it is wilfully blind and staggeringly insensitive to make empty gestures like this when people are going hungry.
It reminded me of Mugabe’s last hilarious foray into donating computers to schools. This happened last year, just before the last stolen elections. Let me remined you by quoting our post titled ‘Not very PC‘ then in its entirity:
Selina has just come back from her rural home and tells me that the computers given to her child’s school by our president, were then taken back for delivery to another school. So much for election gimmicks!
Does he really expect me to think… ‘what a good guy….?’. Surely not!
