The success of the leaders of the Munhumutapa empire and the disastrous leadership of the Scarfed One are like oil and water, they do not mix. The desperation by the Scarfed One for validation was on display yet again with the Munhumutapa Day celebrations, which is held on the octogenarian’s birthday. The attempt to link the success enjoyed by the leaders of the Munhumutapa Empire with the Scarfed One’s appalling governance is as atrocious as it is pitiful.
The legacy of the Munhumutapa empire is far removed from the inept leadership of Ngwena which has been characterised by currency failures, stratospheric levels of inflation, entrenched poverty, monumental job losses and stinking levels of corruption, some of n which has been exposed year after year by the auditor general. The fanciful notion that the Scarfed One is a modern day leader in the mould of the great ancient leaders to the extent of even being ridiculously described as Munhumutapa the 9th , given his glaring shortcomings, is laughable. This is a pathetic attempt to copy the legendary birthday celebrations of Gushungo which brought the nation to a standstill and were enjoyed by the majority of the country’s citizens who huddled in front of televisions nationwide to follow this grand historic event.
Alas given the suffering wrought on the country’s citizens by the Ngwena regime ever since it catapulted into power on the back of guns and tanks, the Munhumutapa\birthday celebrations are an irritation, if not an insult.
