After wasting the little foreign currency that the country has got going to the UN, it’s sad that more money will be wasted taking people to the Airport to welcome Mugabe whilst millions of Zimbabweans are on the brink of starvation.
Zanu PF Harare province called on all Zanu PF supporters to go to the Harare International Airport in numbers to give a “heroes welcome” to President Mugabe when he returns from the United Nations General Assembly.
What did Zimbabweans gain from Robert Mugabe attending the UN General Assembly that he deserves a “heroes welcome”?
In a statement to ZBC News, Zanu PF described Mugabe as “a true hero of Zimbabwe who deserves a rousing welcome for his tireless and dedicated efforts on behalf of the voiceless in Zimbabwe and Africa.”
Are these Zanu PF loyalists living in a different Zimbabwe from everyone else? Give us a break, Mugabe is responsible for the current suffering in Zimbabwe irrespective of what he may want us to believe.
These corrupt and greedy Zanu PF members should stop wasting government resources on Zanu PF functions. I wouldn’t care much what Zanu PF members do, but not when it involves wasting the country’s resources, whilst people starve.
How much money did Mugabe and all those people he takes with him where ever he goes waste on their trip to the United Nations? How can they justify that? Plus how did that benefit the country?
Glorifying Mugabe does not help the country at all. Zanu PF says, “Mugabe stood out as a champion for democracy as demonstrated by his address to the UN General Assembly where he challenged the developed world’s policies of dominance and exploitation.”
Who in their right senses think Zimbabwe’s problems will be solved through Robert Mugabe’s continuous ‘attacks’ on the Western governments? The developed world may dominate and exploit developing nations, that is wrong, but for how long has Mugabe dominated and exploited the people of Zimbabwe. What do we have to show for the 28 years that Mugabe has been in power? More poverty and suffering!
I find it insulting to portray Robert Mugabe as a hero for presiding over a government which is responsible for the current suffering in Zimbabwe. It’s insulting to ask Harare residents faced with a Cholera outbreak to give Mugabe a heroes welcome whilst they live with sewage in the streets and they drink dirty water. It’s insulting to all those who have lost their relatives because the health system has collapsed in Zimbabwe.
The more we glorify politicians, the more they abuse power and exploit the people. Feel free to share your views by posting your comments.

It’s all just RUBBISH!!! The man flies over to New York with a ridiculously large entourage where each person gets a considerable allowance for the few days they are there. My guess is that no thought was spared for the people back home as they spent money that could have helped so many people or got something like a hospital or part of a hospital up and running again. This is madness!!
