Farai Dziva|A state media columnist has described Chief Felix Ndiweni as “a mere goat skinner in the place of a Chief.”

Chief Ndiweni has unsettled the Zanu PF regime by refusing to be cowed into submission.

The columnist wrote : In my village, when elders with cotton tuft hair sit to discuss matters of State and governance, among intermittent sips and sniffs, there are those whose contribution is known to stupidly go against the thread and are dismissively sent to skin the goat for the stew pot.

There, goat skinning is ordinarily for herd-boys, who themselves have no decision as to what happens to the meat, thereafter, let alone governance issues.

Of course, their benefit is one or two “thank you” pieces of meat from the most useless parts of the carcass. It is a deal to pacify the brainless, while the brainy sit and discuss serious matters.
It is village wisdom, that allowing goat skinners in the council of elders, is a waste of time, something akin to an impish attempt to paint the air.

Suffice to say, expecting any meaningful contribution from their ilk is indeed akin to expecting honey from a fly, it will not happen. You only get the fetid stuff.
