Hullaballoo about President Robert Mugabe’s sleeping during the inauguration of the new Nigerian President, Muhammadu Buhari, is a fuss worth dismissing with due contempt that it deserves.
The most critical component that we need to consider is the fact that, he is the busiest personality on the continent at the moment. He is endowed with overwhelming state matters for the whole of Africa.
After a special consideration, African leaders named President
Mugabe as the African Union (AU) Chairperson. It followed the Southern Africa Development Community (SADC) which chose him to be its Chair after they were satisfied that he was the only competent candidate that leads ahead of all in the region.
In view of this natural enthronement based on his traceable track record of statesmanship, he was naturally tired when he attended the Nigerian occasion. It is a folly to terrorize him for feeling tired as a biological human being who is subject to natural processes like any other being.
Let us stop abusing President Mugabe as he is a fellow human being, hence, he cannot behave supernaturally.
The definite sure case on the contrary is that he is proficient enough to execute his core responsibilities as an African leader. However, can this be the case of the old adage which goes, “A prophet is never popular in his home village?” Its only Africans making noise about their chosen leader, while internationally he is a renowned decorated and an accomplished post independence leader that achieved total independence for his people. He managed to consolidate economic and political independence for Zimbabwe. Zimbabwe is currently a hot case study for the rest of Africa to emulate in order to shrug off the damaging effects of neo-colonialism
It is an indisputable fact that President Mugabe is a true Pan-Africanist that champions African values and visions. The misguided reporters of the so called ‘Sahara News’ need to be schooled for them to appreciate this fact. It’s sad to note that it’s only us in Africa where we stone our own heroes. This is an acute deficit that needs to be corrected for us to restore our true African identity so that we can see the stardom in President Mugabe.
In spite of all these odds, it is a living fact that President Mugabe remains popular amongst his people for his stern measures against western domination. Even independent researchers from Afro-Barometer declared that President Mugabe is gaining popularity ahead of all in the contemporary times. The country is proud to declare that it is one of the few states that rely on 100% local funding for its budgets as compared to some nations in Africa whose government budgets are over 60% donor funded.

All he has ever done is destroy!
Chokwadi
lol Mugabe has not done a days work for more than 50 years !
Apparently he spends so much time asleep on the job, he has to fly to Singapore to be treated for bed sores !
This is one of the most ridiculous and patronising article on the intelligence of Zimbabwean people and Africans in general I have ever read. If this is the sort of rubbish that the Mugabe media machine make Zimbabweans read then my heart really bleeds for my Zimbabwean brothers and sisters
Kkkkkkkk,it’s a shame this man is too old he must go.
kana zvichiwanda siya zve nhandi bvuma kusakara
Useless, meaningless, shameful comments from an ungrateful people. Mugabe brought your parents from bondage into freedom. That’s why you ungrateful, unknowledgeable, disrespectful and myopic lot are able to push your stinko in a free media. Repent. Mugabe brought independence to this country. What did you bring- zero.
Of course Mugabe is busy sleeping!
ngaabveka pachigaro chacho.ah kurara kurara.ngaachizorora mudhara uyu .achafira mundege. human nature chaiyo inoti munhu anoita nguve yekusiya basa acipinda muretirement kwete kurara pabasa. Ho ware we portraying Africa if we are all being led by a sleepy leader. Mugabe should be ashamed of himself no matter how his spin doctors view it. The old dinosaur should now stay at home and wait for his maker to call him.
If he had been working then he sure will have died by now if work killed!
He rigged the elections to stay in power the least he can do now is solve the nation’s problems and not doze off!
“The most critical component that we need to consider is the fact that, he is the busiest personality on the continent at the moment. He is endowed with overwhelming state matters for the whole of Africa,” are being told. Busy doing what?
So what “state matters for the whole of Africa” did help resolve on his Nigeria trip? He refused to answer even one of the many pertinent questions put to him about free and fair elections and tyrants who not only rig elections but will want to stay over and beyond the maximum two terms.
Burundi is on fire right now because the incumbent president is refusing to go although he has already served the maximum two terms stipulated in the constitution. President Mugabe rigged the last July 2013 Zimbabwe elections to stay in power. He has been in power for 35 years now and all he has to show for it is a nation whose economy is in ruins and whose people have been traumatized after decades of brutal oppression.
Of course these are important issues for Africa, the people of Burundi and in that part of the world deserve peace particularly after they have been through these last two decades. Zimbabwe’s economic and political chaos has caused untold suffering to millions of Zimbabweans and is destabilizing the whole region.
How can Mugabe be overwhelmed by matter concerning Africa and yet fail to answer even one question on the matters overwhelming Africa? After failing to answer even one question the next minute Mugabe is snoring like a pig! No wonder Zimbabwe is in deep s***t, no wonder SADC and Africa are in deep s***t; they have a megalomania who craves for power but only to sleep on the throne!
Sahara TV journalists have done an excellent job of exposing President Mugabe for the corrupt, vote rigging tyrant he is. On his way from Egypt, not that he did anything else other than doze off, can President Mugabe come back via Nigeria?
He farted a wet fart
Or he should commit suicide
Yeah. Being propped up by hapless red-faced gnome munyaradzi kajese. A true global laughing stock, worldwide figure of ridicule, international fun joke
Anomanikidzwa here
He should have rested/retired on 19 April 1980 n done us a big favour
President Mugabe as a human being has a right to rest and as someone with a buzy schedule there is no need for people to blow that out of proportion. Vane konzero yokuzororawo like anyone else period
african leaders definitely have no love for our dear leader. they appointed the old man so he can work himself to death, knowing his passion for travelling
What busy schedule ….???
Just old age and sleepless, sweaty nights (fear!) …..
Reflections of an old man!!! Dreaming while he is dreaming.The crocodile drags the lion and ate it on top of the tree while the zebra is cheering, sitting on top of a rhino eating honey.When you wake up ,you then think you can lead a country in this 4G era.
Your analysis is for beer hall chat.If you are tired, why overload yourself?We can not respect Mugabe because he himself has no respect for the suffering masses.He would rather enjoy in other places than to be with his people.At his age,its a pity that some people see light in a person who failed to manage himself .What a selfish person who declare that no one will rule Zimbabwe as long as he is alive! If he was travelling and then bringing new ideas and technology back home no one was going to complain.This is a mad man travelling for his personal egos .I advise people who support Mugabe to go to Zambia and see its success story.As of now, Air Zim has less than 5 planes ,one reserved for Mugabe.In Zambia, there are private airliners with more than 10 aircrafts serving Zambia and the region.People are starting small scale businesses and the government support is owesome.People believe in themselves and the government.
If Mugabe wants to be loved , he must put smiles on every Zimbabwean, not on ZANU only.
Even it were me i would sleep, because Nigeria stinks and its humid. Only an animal can stay awake in those conditions.
