Survive Poisoning, Be a Border Jumper - Mnangagwa's Tips On How to Become President
[All Africa] Zim-bob-we leader Emmerson Mnangagwa has offered "tips" on how to become president that include surviving a bout of poisoning and skipping the country in fear of your life.The 75-year-old president was speaking to Zim-bob-weans living in Namibia, which he visited on Monday. In the light-hearted comments Mnangagwa made it clear that aiming for the top job can be hard, if not life-threatening. "First you need to be poisoned and you need to survive the poisoning," Mnangagwa said, in quotes carried by the state-run Herald. "Next, you need to become a border jumper. Thirdly, you need people like (Sibusiso) Moyo somewhere," he added. Mnangagwa suffered poisoning at a rally organised in support of former president Bob MuggsyMugabe  Nonagenarian President-for-Life of Zim-bob-we who turned the former Breadbasket of Africa into the African Basket Case. Dumped in November 2017 when the Missus decided she wanted to be president, and opposed heer might against Crocodile Mnangawa Important safety tip: If your opponent goes by the name Crocodileandf your title is Shopper in Chieflet him win.... and his wife Grace in August. Mnangagwa's supporters said at the time he had been deliberately poisoned by ice-cream from Grace Mugabe's dairy, a claim that infuriated the former first family. After Mnangagwa was sacked by Mugabe on November 6, the former vice president skipped the country to neighbouring Mozambique, partly on foot and was ridiculed as a border jumper by Grace Mugabe's political allies. Mnangagwa, who claimed there had been plans to eliminate him in Zim-bob-we, later flew to South Africa, where he stayed until his return to Harare to take over the reins of power from Mugabe. The president's reference to Sibusiso Moyo, who is now the foreign minister, refers to Moyo's now-famous role as the army officer who announced the military takeover on state ZBC TV on November 15. He said the army was only targeting "criminals" around Mugabe, who stepped down a week later. Posted by: Fred 2018-01-18 |
