Zimbabwe’s President Robert Mugabe blasted Nelson Mandela as a “coward” and “idiot” during a rally today to celebrate Mugabe’s record seventh term in office following his victory in the country’s disputed elections last week.

In one of his trademark fiery speeches, the 89-year-old Mugabe — who has led the southern African country since 1980 — claimed that he should be hailed as an African hero instead of Mandela, the anti-apartheid icon and former president of neighboring South Africa.

“My huge victory in these elections prove I am the greatest leader in the history of Africa,” Mugabe told supporters in Zimbabwe’s capital, Harare. “I have spent my whole life fighting for the Zimbabwean people and they continue to elect me.”

Mugabe tightened his iron grip on power in last week’s elections after he received 61 percent of the vote while his ZANU-PF party won a two-thirds majority in parliament, though there are allegations of widespread fraud and violence against the opposition.

“I am the greatest African who has ever lived,” Mugabe said. “The world should love me more than the idiot Nelson Mandela. F**k Nelson Mandela. As I waged war against colonialism, that coward sat on his ass in prison for 27 years. He’s a coward.

“I have been leader for 33 years. Mandela was president for five years. What kind of idiot gives up political power? Great leaders like me know how to stay in power.

“While Mandela sits comfortably in a hospital, I stand before you fit and healthy, ready to lead this country and the Zimbabwean people for at least another 25 years,” Mugabe added, referring to the 95-year-old Mandela’s ongoing treatment for a lung condition.

Now i know and guess this Mugabe of a man is really intoxicated with POWER.

Mugabe is going too far with this. In as much as I respect him he should not intoxicate himself with power. I respect all his works and fighting for the people of Zimbabwe.

Long live Mugabe
Long live Ghadaffi
Long live the people of Zimbabwe

I hope he is aware of the likely repercussion of his infantile utterance against Zimbabweans outside the country.

He who the god will kill, will firstly go mad.

Lead them to where

I bet this story is false. Even a ret@rd wouldn't say that. He already tarnished his internationally already. Though what he is saying is true. However, he shouldn't take anything away from Mandela.

MOD please frontpage.
Lets see the reactions of Nigerians towards this.

God save him Gaddaffi is no more he would have reply that arongant and selfish man.How many international recognition does he have

Idi Amin, Ghaddafi, Mugabe were and. are hated by whites but they seem to love Mandela. Why?

Errrm... Mr Mugabe! I'm so sure he was imprisoned for fighting against the colonial parasites.

If he hadn't stood up against em, he would have had his freedom all through. And his refusal to compromise landed him in prison.

However, how are we sure that your entire freedom was not as a result of your compromise in order to buy yourself freedom? Just a question though.

Things just ain't the same for gangstas.
Times is changing, young niggas is aging,
Becoming old gees in the game and changing,
To make way for these new names and faces, but
The strangest things can happen from rappin, when
Niggas get wrapped up in image and acting,
Niggas get capped up and wrapped in plastic,
Zipped up in bags when it happens, that's it.
I've seen 'em come; I've watched 'em go,
Watched 'em rise, witnessed it and watched 'em blow.
Watched 'em all blossom and watched 'em grow.
Watched the lawsuits when they lost the dough.
Best friends and money: I lost them both.
Went, visited niggas in the hospital.
It's all the same shit all across the globe.
I just sit back and watch the show.




Mugabe...The last of the African Dictators

Charles Taylor, Sani Abacha, Laurent Kabila, Mobutu Sese Seko, Moammar Ghaddafi, Idi Amin Dada....all gone

But Mugabe still stands gidigba

Robert Mugabe is a true OG

Could not stop laughing this is very funny. I cannot believe people could fall for this, its wrongly worded to be a statement by Mugabe.

Mugabe is an educated man, as a president he would never use such words as f**k especially adressing a crowd. He is quite polished.

This is just a wake up call that the mad angry white racists are on a mission to cause conflict in the SADEC region so we could nullify the Zim elections.

juju2008:
You are wrong. Mandela has got great wisdom which unfortunately evades most African leaders.

Forgive him, he got caught up in the lie. That is why people need read and digest before commenting. Now he and not Mugabe insulted Mandela calling him a fraud.

iamswizz: he's coming down soon.

mugabe is untouchable nigga

I remember my doctor telling me that: "....stay away from drug and alcohol especially when one nears 70 years".....I am going to remind him that power is also an intoxicant that equally blindfolds and is more poisonous than drugs and alcohol

juju2008: Mugabe is so pathetic in his assumptions and poor understanding of greatness.

He is 10,000 times more knowledgeable and greater than YOU.
