[@chickenstew5829]

I'm glad Mapfumo, had diplomatic words the entire interview. Personally, I feel like people should never play Mr nice guy. We should call a spade a spade even after death. Mugabe was a cancer in our society, he was nyoka. His legacy of hatred & the pain he caused to the millions of Zimboz, since the 1980s & continues today will go on for a decades after his death. Now how can one genuinely put a straight face & call such a coward *_ A FOUNDING FATHER?*_ next time someone calls him *_Gamba_* think of how we have to pay Zim officials under the table to acquire a birth certificate, ID or driver's license. He's the founding father of corruption. We have no water, electricity. Meanwhile, his blue house has everything & he ain't paying for those services. It's time we break away from lying about people like Mugabe. How are we gonna educate the international community about his evil deeds, if we can't tell the truth. Mugabe was bad across the board, he had no management skills, all he was good at was killing the country, literally & its citizens. So why should we say RIP to such a person? Fuck him as a matter of fact.

[@crispenmlambo5782]

Chicken Stew point taken.civil war is da best

[@musandasikhwivhilu]

Sometimes we throw stone at others yet in our small area of leadership we are failures!

[@chickenstew5829]

@@musandasikhwivhilu tht can be true but tht shouldn't mean I must shut up & not point out the mass murder committed by this man. We all hve blind spots in certain areas of our lives, I admit tht. But you don't kill tens of thousands of people & destroy the livelihoods of millions of people while your family fly in private jets, shopping in Paris & then expect me to look the other way now tht you're dead. Go on KZbin search the Mugabe boys & see it yourself. Meanwhile, Zimbabweans hve no electricity or water, let alone jobs. His sons couldn't live in their father's Zim because it's beneath them, in other words their father's Zim, is too poor for their taste. potholes are everywhere in Zim . His kids preferred to treat Zim as some sort of piggy bank tht is were they collect cash and spend in RSA. Mugabe, himself went abroad when he needed medical attention. The man was a true failure on a very bigger scale.

[@chickenstew5829]

@@musandasikhwivhilu let me put this way may be you may see my point of view. Let's say I walk into your life, kill most people in your circle of life, I mean your family members & friends. And I then cause them to lose their wealth especially finances, pension funds & I destroy their standard of living etc. When all this is happening I send my kids abroad for education, medical treatment etc. Every now and then I bit u up if you try to vote me out of power. I steal billions of dollars frm your country's wealth & continue this onslaught for 40yrs. How would you feel?

[@carolinerock9866]

Mapfumo was the headliner for Abel Tendekai Muzorewa, a turncoat, tsvuku kuviri!

[@musandasikhwivhilu]

Chicken Stew! I will be very very angry and bitter! The reason being that l have emotion! My point however is that we should not shun our own little misdeeds and point at others! You and me might have failed to pray for leadership if you are a Christian! Many time Christians concentate on spirituality and abdicate earthly responsibility to ungodly people and expect them to act Godly. Yes, the old man is and has been the face of all bad things that happen. Cant we balance that with the little good thing that he did? I first visited Zimbabwe in 1989 and it was my first time to be outside of South Africa. The experience that l got will be cherished until l pass on. I LONG FOR THAT ZIMBABWE! Right now, as people are mourning, at least in my culture, we look at the little good of the departed and speak about it. When one is still alive, his misdeeds are directed at him or her with the hope of repentance! I SALUTE HIS STANDS ON CHRISTIAN PRINCIPLE! Many leaders including pastors fail when confronted by hostile audience. He believed that an African Person can be saved by his fellow African! I really believed until the recent happenings in RSA. Let history books be written about him mentioning all his deeds, the good and the bad!! I apologise for all of you who lost your beloved because of R.G. Mugabe! I fail to pray for him when things were going on well! Our education here is a pitiful sight and the leaders and well to do are taking their children to the private well equipped schools. Our hospitals are white elephant and the politicians and the rich uses private hospitals! Lets pray for this people and that time to vote results are accepted. My problem is that politicians both the ruling party and the opposition are like identical twins! Out of power they have good speech and in power they are the risen demons! Again l apologise if l was not sensitive to the pains of my fellow brothers and sisters who were brutalised!!💔💔💔✌✌✌😭😭😭🌷🌷🌷!!!

Your hate and strong dislike of Mugabe is saddening. A prophet is unwelcome at home. When your minds are narrow you have a lot to deal with. Broaden your scopes people. Mugabe is loved across Africa but is disliked by his own due to the West's propaganda news media. When you notice that you have a continental problem you then you'll understand the depth of Mugabe. But here your thoughts and feelings and actions are tribal based and you'll never get it. We love him far away from his homeland. He made us feel proud and act like men. Rest in peace our brother, Father, grandpa, great grandpa, and ancestor.
