Kissss! Psychology Maziwisa meets Robert Mugabe the man he once described as a 'power hungry thug motivated by greed and consumed by evil.'
From his former base in South Africa ‘political commentator’ Psychology Maziwisa wrote articles critical of Robert Mugabe’s regime for several years until the lure of money saw him make a dramatic u-turn and join the regime.
He quickly shut down his Union for Sustainable Development (USD) one-man pressure group and joined Saviour Kasukuwere’s Ministry of Youth Development, Indigenisation and Economic Empowerment as a ‘political and legal advisor’.
“Anyone who might still be naïve enough to give Mugabe the benefit of the doubt regarding the inclusive government belongs in the Garden of Eden. Crocodiles cannot fly.
“And SADC countries cannot escape blame. They have failed us. Rather than send a clear and stern message to Mugabe they have in fact propped him up. Zimbabweans are starved, terrorized and tortured while SADC whistles in the wind.” (Click here for full article)
Well Zimbabweans, it seems this ‘crocodile’ called Psychology Maziwisa can fly, if we are to use his own analogy.
Mugabe has called British Prime Minister David Cameron “satanic” for considering withholding aid from countries that do not respect gay rights, state media said on Thursday.
“It becomes worse and satanic when you get a prime minister like Cameron saying countries that want British aid should accept homosexuality,” Mugabe said in a speech on Wednesday in the mining town of Shurugwi, 300 kilometres south of Harare.
“To come with that diabolic suggestion to our people is a stupid offer,” he said, according to the state-run Herald newspaper.
At the end of the Commonwealth summit in October, Cameron said that countries receiving British aid should respect human rights, including gay rights.
The issue has re-emerged as Zimbabwe drafts a new constitution, with debate on whether to follow neighbouring South Africa’s model and include gay rights in the charter.
Mugabe has for decades ranted against homosexuality, and in his latest speech again threatened to punish gay Zimbabweans.
“Do not get tempted into that (homosexuality). You are young people. If you go that direction, we will punish you severely,” Mugabe said “It is condemned by nature. It is condemned by insects and that is why I have said they are worse than pigs and dogs,” he said, according to The Herald.
Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai, who formed a unity government with Mugabe in 2009, has said that he supports gay rights but that gays should “do their things in private”.
More recently he said that the people of Zimbabwe will decide what they want in their constitution, which will clear the way for new elections.
The constitution process is running more than a year behind schedule, with a referendum on the charter expected only next year.
