ceaser:
I think Mugabe should change his own name too. He should stop answering Robert just so to be fair.


Not even his wife, but his mistress. Meaning that name was a product outta wedlock. In order words, it's a bas***d name. grin



A little advice - watch yourself around your boss since her eyes always "light up" anytime you're around her. Innocently, some white females are wont to satisfy their curiousity about a black pDude (the legends of black endowment) grin And don't tell me she's an old woman and therefore harmless. They're as ravenous as they come.

My guy I hear you o grin

Me I nor dey involve myself for any kain yeye thing again o. I don be responsible man now. I will take your advice bro cos these oyibos are cunning and dangerous. I no fit shout cheesy

Eziachi: And he still retained his colonial names of Robert Gabriel? As a wise man, he should have started with his own name in his colonial cleansing campaign. A washed out and outdated dictator, who has ran out of idea.

After the renaming gimmick, he will jump into their brand new mercedes, wear their Amani suit and drink their crystal champagne for dinner. Who is fooling who?

But trust stupid Africans, they will fall for the old tricks of our dictators. Yeah, I remembered Mobutu changing his own name to Seseseko as well to make him ultra African but inflicted an un-mending damage to Africa forever.
kindly stop being stupid it was already called mosi oa tunya before it was changed to Victoria Falls, its simply giving it back its original name, whats wrong with that? undecided
Re: Mugabe Renames Victoria Falls To Mosi Oa Tunya by Nobody: 6:50am On Dec 21, 2013
That new name sound awkward..... I prefer d Victoria falls.....

@Post

I agree with Mugabe. All uncle Mugabe is doing is giving the falls its original name back. So, I support.

Before it was named Victoria falls, it was intially known as Musi oa Tunya.

Wale112: President Robert Mugabe wants Victoria Falls to be renamed 'the smoke that thunders' to get rid of its colonial history. The president of Zimbabwe believes Victoria Falls does not reflect its liberation heritage.

The waterfall, which is along the Zambezi River at the border of Zimbabwe and Zambia. is one of the Seven Wonders of the World. Locals already refer to the landmark as Mosi Oa Tunya - which means 'the smoke that thunders'.

The ruling party, Zanu PF, said the government would be instructed to get rid of all colonial names for towns and schools. Ignatious Chombo, local government minister, said: 'Institutions bearing colonial names must be changed and be given indigenous names... school syllabuses in schools must also change.'

It was first discovered by Scottish explorer David Livingstone who named it after Queen Victoria. Jabulani Sibanda, leader of Zimbabwe’s vocal war veterans, supported the move.

He said: 'David Livingstone was not the first person to see the Victoria Falls, they (the falls) must be rebranded Mosi Oa Tunya.
Bunch of idiots.! How does this improve their badly battered economy and put food on the tables of millions of impoverished Zimbabweans? Misplaced priorities.

It allows them to realign their thoughts, moves and prosperity with their ancestral heritage with self determination of their future and their children
David was not the first person to discover Mosi qua Tunya

But the translation kinda beats me....but the reclaiming of the old name is a good move.

So don't translate it?

Oxford means "The Shallow Stream across a road, of the Oxen" but you don't translate it either.

I don't know what that name has got anything to do with Zimbabwe, the name is Southern Sotho my language which means it was named by the Sotho's that lives in Zambia.

Musi is smoke right?

Wa- is of

Thunya- the sound that's made by a gun, when its being fired.

So I think it merely means the smoking waterfall because of its nature.

I thought as the world gets more civilized we will have less of little mined morons like you disgracing themselves, anybody who refuses to swallow your ant-west nonsense is called all sorts of names, only brain dead individuals like you will see Mugabe as a hero.

Since 1980 he dine and wine with the same west, he accepted the white farmers who are also Zimbabweans as well, the economy were one of the best in Africa, they enjoyed heavily subsidized education and health care from the white farmers and the west.

But since the MDC was formed the tyrant felt threatened and unleashed the most horrific spread of violence against anybody who is not Zanu-PF member or dare disagree with him.

Was it not the same Mugabe who actively supported Nigeria suspension from Commonwealth during Abacha regime? Mugabe did worst than Abacha and ruined Zimbabwe.

How can a single human being rule a country since 1980 till today? Fools like you go around talking nonsense about issue you know next to nothing about.

What resources did west stole from Zimbabwe?

Mumu, stop chewing wet weed.
Mor0ns like you should tell us why America and your co western nations have refused to stop selling modern weapons to Saudi Arabia and the gulf countries despite the fact that they have been ruled by same tyrants even before Rhodesia was renamed into Zimbabwe.
The queen of England have been the head of State before you were even born,
So what the heck is your own problem with Zimbabwean deciding that Mugabe should continue ruling them?

You are what i called you in my previous post, the part in bold proves me right, i knew you know absolutely nothing about Zimbabwe and can not put together any convincing argument.

So the UK and Zimbabwe are practicing the same system of govt? Complete waste of space you are.

So Saudi and other gulf countries don't have the right to ow modern weapons? What has that got to do with this topic anyway?

mumu, the same west that sees nothing wrong in the same person ruling Saudi Arabia since ages should not see anything wrong in Mugabe ruling since 80.
If you don't get the drift about selling deadly weapons to tyrants like the Saudi wahabis, why are you hallucinating over the reclamation of land from Zimbabwean whites?
did they carry land on their Igbo when they were coming from europe?
