SATA And I Were Twins -Mugabe

ZIMBABWEAN President Robert Mugabe has warned that colonialists and imperialists are coming back to Africa in the form of Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs).
And Mugabe, who is also Southern African Development Community chairperson, advised politicians not to aspire to run government for their personal interests. Speaking during requiem Mass for president Michael Sata at Heroes Stadium in Lusaka yesterday, President Mugabe said NGOs were not in Africa to help but to study the continent and learn how to control it. “The enemies are coming back and this time, they are not dressed in the colonialist and imperialist dresses, they are dressed in the NGO dress, not as colonialists and imperialists and they are not here to help but they are here to learn how to influence our people,” he said.
President Mugabe said NGOs were distributing money so that they could sway the judgment of the poor. “They sway our people by giving them money and all sorts of things.It is happening in Zimbabwe and I am sure it is happening here in Zambia,” he said. President Mugabe said Africa needed to stand together and say no to neo-colonialism. He further said president Sata never maligned anyone and had genuine love for everyone. “In reverse, Chiluba never looked at things like that. Unlike Chiluba, president Sata put Zambia first.
Chiluba took Zambia to be for him and him alone but Michael was the reverse,” President Mugabe said. He said he was saddened by the loss of president Sata because they had discussed at length on various joint ventures the two countries could embark on. “We met at the AU and planned joint ventures and we said to each other ‘We are twins’. We worked together on the UNWTO and were working together on a hydropower plant,” President Mugabe said. He said a testimony of president Sata’s great leadership would be seen from his various infrastructure projects such as roads, railways, buildings and bridges. President Mugabe said president Sata had illuminated the whole SADC region with his road infrastructure.
“The most befitting tribute is to continue with his plans, he stood above tribe, religion, colour…work for that ideal, Zambia belongs to all of us,” he said.
And President Mugabe advised politicians not to use government for their own personal interests. “Government is not there for you leaders to have personal interests, it is there for you to lead and fulfil the needs of the people,” said President Mugabe.

President Robert Mugabe wants Victoria Falls to be renamed ‘the smoke that thunders’ to get rid of its colonial history.
The president of Zimbabwe believes Victoria Falls does not reflect its liberation heritage.
The waterfall, which is along the Zambezi River at the border of Zimbabwe and Zambia. is one of the Seven Wonders of the World.

Mugabe was right to advise African to be careful with people from the western countries to once again colonies us through economy and he was right to advise our Zambian politicians not to have selfish interest but have peoples interests.So its not about Mugabe stay long in power but his great advises that matters.

He may be described as a dictator but surely his people have always voted for him, it’s entirely their choice. His advice indeed is what matters. If you know imperialists and their schemes you will support Mugabe. Imperialists killed Gaddafi, only Mugabe spoke against the criminals USA/NATO! do we belong to USA/UK/NATO? NO! Africa lets wake up from docility. your english seem good but to insult Mugabe.you lacks pan-africanism in your self.

  Are you going to feed on Pan-Africanism? I aint no USA/NATO/EU sympathizer but somehow we need developed countries to meet us halfway right now we need to shift from West to East and strengthen ties with Russia, China. Its a fact Africa cant feed itself neither can it technologically develop without help of developed nations, in this century its not about freedom fighting and Africanism rhetoric.

Iwe @Humphrey (my young brother namesake), Mugabe used to be one of the most admired African leaders but the prblem was when he decided that ZIMBABWE WAS HIS COUNTRY until he dies, people took it lightly but he meant, that gave birth to a ruthless dictator with a gang of thugs masquerading as a political party – ZANU-PF. You hear this name know that people will be killed or disappear.

Here is a hard core and shameless hypocrite of a president, this Mugabe. He is preaching against the opposite of what he is exactly doing in Zimbabwe. He says if you become a leader you should not take the country like it`s yours, but for decades he has taken Zimbabwe and everything in it to be his personal property. The oppressed people of Zimbabwe have suffered in silence for decades because of his misrule and dictatorship, and yet he has the guts to abuse Sata`s funeral to tell people this kind of nonsense.
