The Zimbabwe Elections 2023 thread

Chamisa has deserted CCC so the opposition there us as good as dead.

Probably quite difficult to understand politics as a child.

And it's not a big deal to me at all. I was just curious about how it came about that you got to discuss old Idi with several Ugandans.

Funny enough I had one opportunity to chat to those folk, but I’ve been to and worked in Uganda plenty over the years. It’s like you live in a small world or somethjng that you find it surprising?

Besides, I could have had that conversation with them 30 years ago, why does it even matter to you?

For context, I have grandkids in double figures age wise.

I think free thinking Zimbabweans have given up on democracy in general.

 

[Jam Sandwich]

Zimbos love Zanu... And whats there not to love...
40 years of Zanu governance and the country is a gold mine and all prosper..

I anticipate the same level of excellence here...

I've spoken to Ugandans who loved Idi Amin and think we've all got him wrong.

Something like

I've spoken to old Afrikaans guys who loved Apartheid and think we've all got the concept wrong
OR
I've spoken to Zulu guys who loved Zuma and think we've all got him wrong
OR
do I have to invoke godwin's law ?

 

[Sideshow Bob]

Yeah, but if they were adults in the late 70s they'd have to be quite old now.

Not doubting your story, there are much wilder tales being told here.

I have sowetan friends and I have ugandan friends as well. Also some friends in Burma. I am a well travelled man.

Yes, but which of them is the hardest working and least lazy?

 

[Sideshow Bob]

Locals are lazy and foreigners are hard working - mybb mantra. It obviously excludes mybb person who comments like this and is local. It is confusing at times.

Or Zimbabweans who think ZanuPF is the shizz.

Yes but do you have Dalit friends

 

[Sideshow Bob]

Yes but do you have Dalit friends

As per definition, I am one so yes.

 

[ShaunSA]

As per definition, I am one so yes.

So you're your own friend?

 

[Sideshow Bob]

So you're your own friend?

I try to be. It is difficult at best of the times.

Just don't talk to yourself! You're rather entertaining and I wouldn't want to call the men in white jackets

 

[Sideshow Bob]

His/Her Excellency.

I really thought Ikpat was western educated. Oh - how the mighty fall at times.

I thought I knew all titles for Presidents, royalty and the clergy, but I discovered one during the holidays, His Eminence, I just don't remember who the man of the cloth in question is.

In ANC SA's case should be His Enemaence.

It's for religious applications as I said so you can calm down.
