At first, it tingled and jingled our ears like rattling fake news. A military coup d’état that sought to end the 37-year reign of Zimbabwe’s Robert Mugabe skulked into the presidential palace in Harare in the caparison of a stand-up comedy. No bullet sounds; no blood drops; and nobody in shackles. At best, it was a dinner table causerie and chatter between soldiers and a man addicted to power. Zimbabwean Army General, Constantino Chiwenga, led the platoon that unseated the nonagenarian hegemonic enigma. His dream to impose his wife as successor next year when his term was scheduled to run out was decisively deflated. This piece was written by Fole Ojo. The views and opinions expressed here are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of 360Nobs.com. Even when it was obvious that power had changed hands, Mugabe still swaggered around in pride and disparaging intransigence. But 16 million Zimbabweans knew that his time was up. A mediation team involving Jacob Zuma of South Africa and some generals prevailed on Mugabe to graciously resign. Adamant, he dragged on for a week demanding a beseeming exit strategy he handcrafted that would still make him the head of ZANU-PF, the political party he led for four decades. But now, unlike South Africa’s Nelson Mandela who knew the time and season, Mugabe is vacating the lofty seat he held for a generation in shame and disgrace. For many years, Mugabe was in the frontline of triumphant and courageous fight for Independence from dominating and oppressive white overlords. In 1980, he became the Prime Minister and the first executive black President of landlocked Zimbabwe seven years later. He manipulated and falsified the results of many elections organised in the nation while members of opposition parties were killed and maimed by his administration as he refused to relinquish power that was given to him by Providence. About two years ago at 91, he came out of an event when he tripped and fell like a humpty-dumpty. The security men around him scampered to pick him up from the ground he will one day go under. What is it about the black man and power? What else was Mugabe looking for? Among all people are the good and the bad; the nasty and the nice; the hoarding and the generous. Homo-sapiens truly are the same all over the world. But there is something about the black man with power and authority which remains a knotty riddle. Whether he is from Haiti or Hawaii; Nigeria or Niger; Brazil or Burkina Faso; America or Angola; the black man in political leadership is intensely and intentionally greedy; ferociously avaricious; deliberately and wantonly thrives in gluttony, cuddled up in bed with corruption; and bonded to never-ending greed. How did the back man get configured in this manner? This remains an UNSOLVED MYSTERY. A few years ago, big-mouth Mugabe declared that “Nigeria and Nigerians are very corrupt”. He was right. Nigerian leaders do not have good testaments about probity, but Mugabe, a pot diving into the pool of name-calling claiming the kettle is too black to exist, is the godfather of global corruption. In the forever Hall of Shame, he will be one of the most heavily-credentialled African leaders among thousands in the annals of history. Mugabe once dipped his hands in the treasury of the government and hauled out three million pounds lavished on his only daughter’s wedding. His perpetuation in power was largely sustained by the country’s natural resources including gold and remarkable diamond deposits. Side-by-side with his second wife, Grace, the couple was named among 56 Zimbabweans implicated in corrupt activities which have fleeced the country of billions of dollars at the expense of the general populace. Grace was fingered in the VIP housing project in 1995 when she, alongside top Zanu-PF hawks, grabbed houses meant for low-earning civil servants in the “pay-for your-house scheme”.

Kutama - Local residents in the rural Zimbabwean village where Robert Mugabe was born, got married, and has a house say he was a great leader - but express sorrowful acceptance rather than anger at his ousting. Kutama, 90km outside the capital Harare, has been a heartland of deeply personal support for Mugabe for decades, benefiting from his patronage and much-criticised land reforms. "When I heard the news (of his exit) and seeing what was now happening in the country, and things not going right, I thought, 'Well everything has to end, he has to rest'," Johannes Chikanya, Mugabe's second cousin and a close childhood friend, told AFP. "Had it been me, I would have resigned while people still liked me," Chikanya said. "Now there are problems." Mugabe was born in Kutama on February 21, 1924 - with Chikanya born just three months later. Chikanya fondly remembers how as a child he used to share a bed and blanket on the floor with Mugabe, and even eat from the same plate as they grew up together in the village. Today Kutama, in contrast to many city streets or even highways, has smooth new roads, recently re-surfaced with fresh black tar. 'So grateful' "We are so grateful for what he has done, the way he has looked after us until today. We hope things will continue just as good," said Tobias Sowero, 40, sitting in front of a shop. But in much of the country, years of economic decline under Mugabe have left Zimbabwe's infrastructure in ruins and almost no private-sector employment as agriculture collapsed and investors fled. Some locals in Kutama benefited from Mugabe's seizure of white-owned commercial farms that is widely blamed for the economy's implosion as the sharp decline in production. "Even if others are complaining that there are no jobs, I'm happy about the land we were given. We are able to farm and look after ourselves," said 22-year-old Theophilus Chimanga. "I want to remember him for the land and the freedom he brought." Unlike in Harare and second city Bulawayo, there were no wild scenes of street celebration in Kutama when news broke on Tuesday that Mugabe's reign was finally over after 37 years. "No, there were no celebrations here, we just accepted it quietly," said one businessman, who declined to give his name, at the village's small shopping centre close to Mugabe's house. In Kutama, in the district of Zvimba, the gates of Mugabe's usually heavily-guarded house were wide open, though AFP was denied access. Lavish wedding In 1996, the village hosted Mugabe's wedding to his second wife Grace, whose presidential ambitions triggered the intervention from the military chiefs who were determined to block her rise. The wedding at a nearby catholic church was attended by Nelson Mandela with Joaquim Chissano, then president of Mozambique, serving as best man. A lavish party, complete with beers brought in by the truckload, was held for thousands of guests at a thatched-roof property in the village. Marjorie Masuwa, a 54-year-old shopkeeper, told AFP that she feared for the future under Emmerson Mnangagwa, whose inauguration as president was held on Friday. "When I heard that (Mugabe) had stepped down, I didn't get emotional, but allow me to say that he was loving. I just wish the one who is replacing him is the same," she said. "I urge him to seek advice from Mugabe, and to please not to give land back to the white. https://m.news24.com/Africa/Zimbabwe/sorrow-admiration-in-mugabes-birthplace-20171124 |
