Are you that kind of person who acknowledges that your enemy is smart than your father? Look, I used to tell my friends that I have no quarrel with President Mugabe, when he was in jail 10yrs why was my father not in there with him? Then I learnt he didnt even go to the war. If your father was a true hero he should have been the president, why are you not Chamisa today? You play it safe right? then your kids tomorrow will be saying Chamisa is the devil, no thats a wrong address, where was your father, where are you today for your children tomorrow?
