Surprise, surprise: Robert Mugabe has once again been 'chosen' as Zanu-PF's presidential candidate for next year's 'elections' in Zimbabwe. This was after super-gluing the presidential crown to his head, just before the announcement at a party conference.
After the announcement, Mugabe took to the stage to tell his supporters that their free T-shirts & food would be made available after the conference had ended, & that Zanu-PF would fight like a "wounded beast" to "win all our power back".
His show of determination is certainly inspiring, as is the story that his talented son is being discriminated against. Mugabe's wife Grace, took the opportunity to inform journalists at the conference that their eldest son Robert (19) has had to abandon his dreams of becoming a famous basketball star in the US, due to sanctions against him.
"We had to sit him down and explain that he cannot join a club playing in the US college league because of the sanctions. It hurt him because there was a lot of interest in him, but now he understands what it means to be the son of President Mugabe,"Oddly enough the Telegraph reports that none of Mugabe's offspring are listed on any US or European sanction lists. It also reports that Mugabe's son failed his 'A' levels.
If his father has taught him one thing, it must be perseverance. Persevere & obtain your goal, and don't worry how you achieve it. And if you can't obtain your goal, just resort to violence & intimidation to get it.
Yes, now there's a legacy worth continuing...
