Hero- "It's the British!" - Robert Mugabe!

Mbeki, Motlanthe, Zuma 'must apologise to Zimbabweans'

Twelve years ago, South Africa was asked to monitor the Zimbabwe elections, and knowing full well that these elections were not free or fair, declared them to be as such. Finally after 12 years of investigation the  Election Resource Centre judged them to be what they were. Rigged. 

Hero Mugabe lost his luster long before the 2002 election fraud. South Africans have known this for many years, but voices of dissent have been silenced in the interests of "political correctness" and often in the interests of monetary gain. 

Robert Mugabe places the blame for  every problem and burden that Zimbabwe ever had and still has, on "The British!" , even though Zimbabwe, formally Rhodesia, had declared Unilateral Independence from Britain in 1965. His maniacal speeches thrill some, amuse others while those with a modicum of intelligence call him out for the madman that he is.  

Mugabe has remained... let's not forget now... the anti British hero, who was raised as a Roman Catholic, studying in Marist Brothers and Jesuit schools, a  fast and firm friend and patriot of the Vatican and it's consecutive Popes. He has ruled Zimbabwe in a similar manner to Argentina's General Jorge Videla, who was also a firm friend of Jorge Mario Bergoglio, the current Pope Francis, whose inauguration Mugabe attended.in 2013 

Much in the tradition of Videla, at the very beginning of his rule, between 1982 and 1985, Mugabe crushed his political rivals from the Ndebele tribe in Matabeleland in a whole sale genocide. 

He has had dubious dealings in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, rubbing shoulders with some very shady characters, supplying military personal to protect mines from Rwandan Hutu "terrorists" while in the same fashion as the Imperialist British who he so loves to hate, he has grabbed much of the Congo's rich resources for himself. Cecil John Rhodes, if he were still alive, might even give him a scholarship for imperialist innovation! 

His land reform programs not only included chasing white people off their farms, resulting in food shortages and famine, but destroying whole black communities from 2005 onwards, who he deemed to be unsightly in what he termed "Operation Drive out Rubbish." It is estimated that almost 3 million have directly and indirectly been dispossessed of their homes and their livelihoods through this initiative.

The Hero Mugabe, like all dictatorial tyrants, has since lost the lustre of his crown. Since the  Election Resource Centre verdict that the Zimbabwe elections were rigged in 2002, and continuous vote rigging ever since, those who see this man as some kind of hero, might finally realise that he has murdered his own people, betrayed them and like the British who he hates so much, robbed them of their wealth.
