Harare(ZimEye)A Carpenter who allegedy joked that President Robert Mugabe would not have the puff to blow his birthday balloons during the Head of state’s 21st celebrations last week, has been arrested.

People who called the police to the ‘scene’ in the bar claim that they heard the joiner referring to Mugabe’s deteriorating health and sounded doubts that he would manage to inflate a balloon.
He was arrested swiftly before leaving the bar and is to reappear in court March 12 when he might be fined if found guilty.
This is not the first time that a Zimbabwean citizen has been brought before the courts on such allegations. Recently three Chiweshe men were dragged to court facing charges of undermining the authority of the President as provided for in Section 33 (2) b) of the Criminal Law, Codification and Reform Act while more including the MDC-T spokesperson Douglas Mwonzora, legislator for Nyanga North were incarcerated on the same allegations. In August last year, a Bindura man was hauled before the courts for allegedly calling Mugabe ‘a dog’ among other things. (ZimEye)

  2. More example that idiots consume alcohol, and so increase their delusion and the diarrhea of the mouth that comes with the un-African evils of eurocentric brainwashing.

  9. Queen Elizabeth, Bill Clinton & Robert Mugabe died & went straight to hell. Queen Elizabeth said “I miss England, I want to callEngland and see how everybody is doing there. She called and talked forabout 5 minutes, then she asked “Well ,devil how much do I owe you????The devil says “Five million dollars” She wrote him a cheque and went tosit back on her chair. Bill Clinton was so jealous, he starts screaming, “Myturn! I wanna call the United States, I want to see how everybody isdoing there too” He called and talked for about 2 minutes, then he asked”Well, devil how much do I owe you???? The devil says “Ten million dollars”With a smug look on his face, he made a cheque and went to sit back on hischair. Robert Mugabe was even more jealous & starts screaming, “I want to callZim too, I want to see how everybody is doing there too. I wanna talk to the ministers, to the deputy, I wanna talk to everybody”….. He called Zim and he talked for about twenty hours, he talked & talked & talked, then heasked “Well, devil how much do I owe you???? The devil says “One dollar”.Mugabe is stunned & says “One dollar??? Only one dollar??” The devil says “Well if you make a call from one hell to another, it’s local”.

  11. Calling Mugabe a “dog”, “pig” or “chidhoma” is indeed undermining the authority of the president. But expressing doubt on whether he would blow out the candles or fill balloons is definitely not! It is just like what we normally do – e.g. expressing doubt on whether a sick person in hospital will be able to finish a glass of water of a ration of food. I see no undermining there. Again, it depends on how he said it. If he said something like “kaharahwa aka kave kuda kufa kane mweya wekudzima kenduru here?” he might have to face the music. By the way, it’s a law enshrined in out statutes. To those who call Tsvangirai names, do it now. If he becomes president there might be no chance. Let’s respect our national leaders all the same. GOD bless Zimbabwe!

  13. WELL HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THAT USELESS QUEEN IN BRITAIN WHO DOES NOT WAS HER ARSE!!!!

  14. Those “people” who called the police, murimbwa dzevanhu, nhundiramutisime, mharapatsetse, raw sewage. Have u nothing better to do with your miserly airtimes and times? Muchafa mese nechidhoma chenyu chinonzi Bob!
