Blocked ears
I feel compelled to share the lighter side of the farcical election campaign being held in the Nkayi district. We all know that Obert Mpofu, a nefarious and self important character and the governor of Matabeleland, is the parliamentary candidate for this constituency.
Mpofu has had his thugs plaster his face to any wall, rock or tree space in this rural area. Local residents (majority of whom are MDC supporters) have responded to his mugshots with hilarious revenge tactics.
His posters now boast poked out eyes and ears, filled with stalks of grass! This has really gotten up the noses of the ZanuPF supporters who are now busy pulling down their own posters.
A good chuckle always makes the day’s crises easier to deal with.
