Mugabe Panics, Bows to Povo
6 July 2016
Spread the love

President Robert Mugabe has bowed to pressure (click to read) of the ongoing civil unrest in the country and made panic instructions to his ministers to urgently pay civil servants their June salaries.
In a media statement broadcast on the state owned ZBC Radio, Acting Minister of Public Service, Labour and Social Welfare, Supa Mandiwanzira said that Mugabe has instructed his Ministry and the Finance Ministry to pay civil servants their salaries (click to read)  starting tomorrow.
Consequently employees in the Ministry of Education will get their salaries tomorrow instead of the 19th of July as previously advised, while the health sector will be paid on Friday instead of the 14th of June, the government said in a rushed statement Wednesday night.
Mandiwanzira begged the civil servants to immediately go back to work, now that President Mugabe has instructed for the full payment of their salaries. The development which saw the police and army being humiliated and beaten up in broad daylight as Police Boss Augustine Chihuri begged for peace with the angry public, is a historic victory denoting what the public can do on their own to shape the nation’s future with no intervention from outsiders.

  1. Using the Gukurahundi language primitive as it is, instead of English, in a country where English is the language of school instruction is surely a mark of an intellectual midgets!!

  2. Everyone knows which language is the Gukurahundi language. It is that language the Gukurahundis were speaking whilst bayoneting our grandparents and asking them to dig their own graves in the 1980s. The language of the oppressor – more like the Afrikaans of the Soweto 1976 Uprisings!!

  4. so you understand both shona and Ndebele but you want to force people to write in English. really speaking or writing English is not a measure of intelligence for sure. a person is free to write in his or her on language. is it about the language or what is expressed grow up please. there is no propaganda language its our mother’s language

  6. So Dzasukwa was waiting for people to strike before he paid them. Yakabvepi mari yacho kana panga pasina mari? Is it not part of the $15 billion which went missing? We know Chinamasa has nothing to show from the UK. Saka iyi yakupiwa vanhu yakabva kupi?

  8. On the list of recognized languages in Zimbabwe and the world, there is no language listed as Gukurahundi

  11. Probably awaiting the money Chinamasa is begging for so that they can stock up on weapons and have bonus money to pay the army to deal with any more riots/demos. you know him well kunyengedza for sure.

  15. English is a language, not a measure of intelligence. I am proud to be fluent in both Shona and IsiNdebele. English is not my mother tongue. I would have been ashamed not to be fluent in my own language.

  21. Only in your Gukurahundi paper. Go back to school – no wonder most of you cant string proper sEnglish sentences these days. This is an English medium publication. Stupid!

  22. The evil that man do, lives after them. There is no good to their send off. So let it be with the whole bunch.

  23. If Dzasukwa thinks paying the outstanding salaries will pacify the people, then he is in for a rude awakening. The anger goes much deeper than salaries. The people have discovered people power. They know which button to push. Short of a radical change in Zimbabwe these demos will continue.

  25. Contradicting yourself. Zimbabwe is multi lingual hence everyone should post in the Zimbabwean language of their choice.

  30. No Gukurahundi. Only English. Didn’t you go to school or are you not aware Zim is not only about Gukurahundis but it’s a multi lingual and multicultural nation?

  34. It was never a matter of government having no money to pay civil servants but rather one of the regime refusing to share even a tiny fraction of the billions of dollars of looted diamonds riches with the public.
    It was President Mugabe himself who admitted in March 2016 that $15 billion was looted in the period 2010 to 2015. From what Ministers Kasukuwere and Jonathan Moyo have since said, Mai Mujuru is responsible for having looted “a chunk” of the $15 billion. Mai Mujuru is not the
    only who has been looting and so a lot more than $15 billion is being looted. Since no one has ever been arrested since March 2016 and Minister of Finance is still getting nothing from Marange and Chiadzwa, it certain the looting is still happening to this day.
    Amongst the other people known to be actively involved in the looting in Marange are the top brass in Army, Police, CIO and the President himself. The President must have spent $4 billion, at least, during the last elections. He paid NIKUV $10 million to corrupt the voters roll, millions
    to buy each Zanu PF candidate a new car plus $10 000 spending money, etc., etc. Of course he got the money from all the looting in Marange and Chiadzwa.
    So it took mass action just to get the regime to grudgingly share a few million dollars out of the billions of Marange diamonds it continues to pocket! No doubt President Mugabe expects the whole nation to go down on our bended knees and think him for his generousity!
