Un-sung Hero of Africa: Robert Mugabe
by Dharma L. Appavoo --- Hail to the Chief ! It is the moral obligation of every major city in sub-Saharan Africa to erect a statue to Robert Mugabe.
Every major city in the former British Empire has a statue of Queen Victoria or some Army General and his Horse. But there is not a SINGLE statue of an African Hero on the soil of the entire sub-Saharan Africa.
Robert Mugabe is the most highly-educated politician on the African continent and he will eventually go down in history as a great hero.
Historians will catalogue him with the other heroes of the African continent…….such as Hanibal, Dingaan, Chaka Zulu, Rosa Park, Martin Luther King, Mandela, Bishop Tutu and Walter Sisulu.
In the United States of America there are only two Public Holidays named after individuals. The first was George Washington and the second was Martin Luther King.
But there is not a single accolade to a black African Patriot on the entire African continent !
It is high-time that the African nations memorialise their very own black Martyrs, Heroes and Patriots.
Mugabe is an audacious and fearless man and he has set about to rectify a three-hundred year-old iniquity.
Negative reviews about Mr. Mugabe are a reflex phenomenon.
The Western World did not expect to see an “audacious nigger” with the courage of his convictions. Nor with the “balls” to match his bravado !
No Zimbabwean has ever been allowed to reside in the United Kingdom without appropriate documentation issued by the Home Office.
By contrast several thousand White Farmers have taken up residence in Zimbabwe without ever discussing the matter with the natives of the land.
Furthermore these invaders have usurped the most fertile farmland and they have printed their very own Documents to validate their tenure.
There is no record of any payments ever having been made to the natives of Zimbabwe for the farmland. Three hundred years have elapsed and the native Zimbabweans have never yet been paid. Nor have they been taught how to become farmers.
Zimbabwean natives were enlisted as farm labourers but they ended up as troglodytes ! They were so poorly paid as to remain shabby, unclean, bare-footed, under-fed and under-nourished.
Until Mugabe assumed control of his own country the native citizens were doomed to perpetual humiliation and serfdom.
They were so very poor as to contrive shanties for shelter.
They were sexually exploited, but they were never treated as “truly human”.
And after three centuries in the country the White Settlers continue to actively avoid forming close friendships or behaving like caring neighbours.
Mr. Mugabe has successfully withstood the onslaught of the British and other Westerners.
I hope that his African neighbours will exhibit the largesse to acknowledge his Valour and to follow his Example……and to do so whilst he is still alive !
And, it may be a sterling idea for the membership of the African Union to get together and to arrange for the erection of a statue of General Sanni Abacha in Geneva and in Zurich because he exported Nigerian wealth that enhanced the lifestyle of the Swiss people and enabled them to live in luxury!
I REQUIRE FINANCIAL BACKING TO RUN THIS CAMPAIGN
I WILL COMMISSION THE DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF THE STATUE. IT WILL CONSIST OF A PROUD MUGABE WITH CHIN UP, ARMS AKIMBO AND WITH WINGS AND A HALO. HE STANDS BACK TO BACK WITH A HORNED AND STOOPED SANNI ABACHA WHO WILL BE DEPICTED WITH AN ARROW-HEADED TAIL AND A BAG OF LOOT SLUNG OVER HIS SHOULDER. THIS STATUE WILL BE DONATED TO EVERY CAPITAL CITY ON THE AFRICAN CONTINENT AND TO THE CITY OF GENEVA AND ZURICH.
