Zambian President Michael Sata’s more US $50 million maize ‘donation’ to
Zimbabwean dictator Robert Mugabe for election campaigns has been rejected
as gross interference in that country’s internal affairs.
Writing for Bulawayo24, Wright Musoma has asked Sata to stay away with his
donations and allow Zimbabweans to make independent decisions free of
inducements.
“The revelations that president Michael Sata is donating millions of tonnes
of maize worth more than $50 million to Zimbabwe to aid President Robert
Mugabe win the coming presidential elections is quiet sad, and we would like
to ask him to stay away from Zimbabwe immediately,” he said.
Sata has been acting like a Father Christmas recently giving Malawi 5
million litres of fuel when his country had none for consumption and
Zimbabwe maize while his country is wallowing in abject poverty.
“When it comes to choosing a leader, it’s imperative that the Zimbabwean
people are given the choice and room to choose the leader of their choice
and not Sata imposing a leader on them,” Musoma states.
There has been growing resentment with protests at Zambian missions in the
UK and Washington by Zimbabweans against Sata’s interference in the affairs
of their country after the Zambian head of state turned himself into a
Mugabe vuvuzela at a recent SADC meeting.
Musoma’s statement is one of the many voices that is opposing Sata’s ugly
face from showing up in Zimbabwean politics.
“We know that Sata and Mugabe are the same and that’s the reason why he is
working hard to ensure that his friend wins and it’s also the reason why out
of all the presidents in the world, Michael Sata has chosen to be very close
to Robert Mugabe. They are both dictators,” he states.
Musoma is wondering why Sata is doing all he can to help Robert Mugabe win
the election even when he has ruled for more than 30 years and is now quite
old and visibly weak with wrong and selfish motives.
“What is that which Sata expects Mugabe to achieve for the people of
Zimbabwe which he has not done in more than 30 years he has been in power?
“Any way, the Zimbabwean people are the ones who have the power through the
ballot box to choose who they want to lead them. If they still feel that
there’s no one else in all the land of Zimbabwe among the 13 million people
who can lead them, it’s really entirely up to them.”
Musoma cautioned Sata against exploiting his country’s taxpayers to support
a tyrant like Mugabe.
“I strongly feel that Mugabe and Sata should not continue to insult the
intelligence of the Zimbabwean people. Mugabe should step aside and let
fresh blood take over,” he said. “As for president Sata, once again please
stay away from Mugabe and stop meddling in the affairs of Zimbabwe.”
Zimbabweans are displeased that Sata is showing support for Mugabe when
world leaders had settled the Zimbabwean was a tyrant who had driven his
people away through dictatorial rule.
