Quotes If you look at Mugabe's entire political career, what is always missing is the essence of the person. He is a shrewd politician, a great survivor, but very very ruthless. There is nothing to commend him except his eloquency with words. He is mean-spirited even towards his own people. He is not moved by the plight of Zimbabweans, by people suffering and dying. He's immune to such calls on his feelings; he doesn't respond to pity. I have always been a critic of government policy. I was in government for more than five years. Before that I was a critic. Within the government I was a critic, pushing for reform and always at odds with power brokers within the party. If my hair had not let me down this bad, I’d grow an Afro in solidarity with SA kids whose Afros are under attack! Zimbabweans are free to choose whomever or whatever to associate with, or support. That's what we are fighting for as the only authentic democratic alternative in the country: Everyone's full enjoyment of all political rights enshrined in section 67 of the Constitution of Zimbabwe. Generation 40 is just a nuisance to the party. There are cronies of diversionists coming from power-hungry clowns misguided by errant professors from nowhere who have found their way into the party. When the devil offers you immunity, you would be a fool to enter what is called a Faustian bargain. In an interview with BBC World News and the BBC News Channel on Thursday 11 January 2018 If you don’t intervene when there has been such an outrageous, brazen attack on a constitutional order, you are simply opening the floodgates to conflict,” he said. If they don’t act, just as the sun will rise tomorrow, Zimbabwe will be another Somalia. There will be bloodshed.
