THE MUGABE IN MANY OF US
THE MUGABE IN MANY OF US
Unconsciously, many of us who loathe, abhor and criticise Robert Mugabe for overstaying in office and equally accuse Zimbabweans of docility in all of these years, are equally guilty.
When it comes to our turn, we rationalise it. For instance, a leader who ordinarily should do the "Mandela option" by laying a solid foundation and handing over to another person as a Statesman, is being seeing as indispensable; without him, our nation/State/ local government/party would collapse;
Someone who was a Commissioner in one State for eight years, serves as Governor for another eight years in another State, yet still planning to come back to the State he once served as Commissioner to be a Senator, is a Mugabe and those supporting such a move are no better than Mugabe;
Someone that served as a member of State House of Assembly, Member of House of Representative and as a Senator and Still aspiring to be the next Governor of a state':You are a Mugabe,
You have been a local government Chairman, Commissioner, Governor for eight years and still wants to be a Senator, instead of allowing someone else to "serve", you are a Mugabe;
You hold local government elections in your state and only your party must clear all seats, how are you different from ZANU-PF under Mugabe?
When you rationalise any leader as being indispensable, check the mirror, you are no better than Mugabe.
