It is with sadness that we say adieu to our beloved Comrade Mugabe. He is like a much loved grandparent suffering from cancer, surrounded by 30 loving grandchildren who love him and want him on this earth. But they would also be grateful if peaceful death would end his suffering. As with the suffering of Shakespeare’s old King Lear, death sometimes takes too long to come for those who love the dying.

Or maybe we should use, not the analogy of cancer but that of deliberate criminal food poisoning. Over the years, Pan-Africanists have investigated the source of the food-poisoning and our own pan-africanist toxicologists have placed the source of the food-poisoning firmly in London and Washington.

Of course, local politicians hungry for power did collude with London and Washingon to administer the poison. There are always willing traitors amongst our midst, as the history of slavery and colonialism has shown us. Sadly, the poison has taken hold and the effect as we see is terminal. Therefore, it is time for Comrade Mugabe to go, for the sake of himself and his people.

Zimbabwe after Comrade Mugabe

Alas, the poisoners though caught red-handed refuse to accept their criminal liability. Alas again, Lady Justice is too weak to apprehend them, so they are allowed to walk-away "Anglo-Free" so to speak.

What of their Zimbabwean accessories in the MDC party? Will they be able to govern Zimbabwe as a united country after the treachery they have committed to burry Comrade Mugabe? That really is hard to see, especially as the only carrot they can offer Zimbabwe is the resumption of "aid" and "friendship" from those who poisoned Comrade Mugabe. We hope Comrade Mugabe’s ZANU-PF will be able to rally its support and fill the void left by the departure of Comrade Mugabe. We say Adieu Comrade Mugabe, history will look on you most kindly.
