THE WORD’S OLDEST PRESIDENT...

Uncle Bob power lies in the hand
By walusungu silweya

UNTIL DEATH apart him, his one of the African longest-serving leaders, a liberation-war-hero, his holding seven degrees but he has become the ugly face of state and turned a tyrant.

President Jacob Zuma and Robert Mugabe 
The most fearful leader, a 92-Year-Old, the suave, eloquent and educated stand as Robert Gabriel Mugabe alies uncle Bob, who today it does not seem he will give up power any time soon and taking Zimbabwe with him to the grave.

As Zimbabwe yesterday (April 18th) turned 36, yet still one president since it gained independence from British Colonial rule in 1980 and young ones have known only one leader uncle Bob.

Indeed, self-rule is a tragic cocktail of squandered opportunity, shattered dreams and untold suffering. WHY? and HOW?

The pioneer of Zimbabwean nationalist politics Joshua Nkomo said the hardest lesson of his life became to him late after Zimbabwe won freedom without its people becoming free.

Mr Mugabe
On the other hand, late Julius Nyerere of Tanzania, one of the African’s foremost revolutionaries warned then Prime Minister Robert Mugabe after he inherited that he should not destroy Zimbabwe.

Now, life after 36-years in Zimbabwe under the iron grip of uncle Bob is the already failed state, free fall into an economic and political abyss.

Uncle Bob on 90th Birthday.
Its believed that about three million people already fled Zimbabwe and more than 30,000 graduates are produced by collages and university annually but with unemployment in the formal sector hovering at 90 percent poverty has dehumanized an entire Nation.

Though, Uncle Bob’s greatest achievement was the provision of the free education. To his credit hundreds of schools and dozens of collages were built.

He was also passionate about teaching, he personally taught his illiterate ministers who later got degrees.

NB: Mugabe’s Father (Gabriel Matibili Mugabe) was a Malawian.
