letter to my people:BY DOCTOR STOP IT
My Dear People It is very tempting to feel sorry for Emmerson Mnangagwa sometimes, especially whenever he opens his mouth.
My brief or temporary sympathies for ED only come whenever he sticks his foot in his mouth, which is quite often.
Every time he opens his mouth, he sticks his foot so far down his gut that it takes weeks to pull it out.
His tormented minders have tried to make feeble arguments that the chap uses humour to deliver serious statements to his forever bemused audiences.
The problem is that his jokes always fall flat on their faces, creating even more work for his minders to try and clean up after him.
He is almost as error-prone as the late former prime minister and former president of the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC), Morgan Richard Tsvangirai.
Compared to the late president Robert Mugabe, ED or Ngwena appears like some amateur high school politician when it comes to public speaking and choice of words, language or humour.

Of course, Gushungo had one or two faux pas moments as leader of Zimbabwe during a period spanning close to four decades.
Ngwena came to power on the back of assistance from the military in November 2017. In other places it is called a coup d’ etat.
In that brief period he has made dozens of statements that have rubbed Zimbabweans the wrong way.
Among his choice statements was an address to starving citizens that they should not eat meat, but instead shift to vegetables and potatoes.
We will not mention the time when he celebrated receiving US dollars during Cyclone Idai or where he used threatening language when he spoke about shamhu inomunyu, which was a reference to a painful weapon that he was threatening to use on errant business people.
Or when he made a very bad joke in which he said if he knew that it was the people of Kuwadzana who were preventing the rains from falling, he would order the military to surround the suburb and beat the residents.
What kind of examples are those that a father and leader makes to his family and people?
It can also be tempting to think some people in his inner circle are deliberately misleading him to make the embarrassing gaffes for their own private pleasure.
Giving up one, two or all meals in fasting Let us start by clarifying that more than seven million out of the just over 14 million Zimbabweans are facing starvation.
Our ED was recorded saying that nowhere, including in Heaven, would you find a government as “splendid” as his.
Naturally, that kind of statement was bound to have annoyed quite a number of people, especially Christians who make up a large number of the population.
Fast-forward a few months later and Ngwena announces a presidential day of prayer and fasting over Covid-19.
Why call it presidential? National day of prayer would have been enough.
Questions are being asked on how if his government was better than the one in Heaven, the same government now wants to turn to God.
We will not mention that blasphemous sister, who is in government who said Covid-19 was a punishment for Europe and America.
We urge her not to wear a face mask since she alleges that she is not a target for the virus.
The day of prayer and fasting has generated some light moments among Zimbabweans with some declaring that Zimbabweans have been involuntarily fasting since Ngwena came to power.
For him to suggest that people can give up one, two or all meals during fasting is an insult to many Zimbabweans, most of whom are surviving on one or no meals.
Zimbabweans have further joked that those not joining the fasting could be killed and sent to mortuaries “dzinotonhorera!”
Other naughty Zimbabweans are pointing out that even Dr Amai Stop It! had a huge service at Rufaro Stadium before things got exciting.
Others are suggesting that we should rather fast for the demons of corruption that are affecting families of government leaders to go away.
When demons hit the government in a twin formation in order to steal from citizens, then you know it is double trouble.
Coup! What coup?
So our top security leadership went before the whole nation to deny a coup, which had been mentioned by some prophet who is not even resident in Zimbabwe?
Come to think of it, some of those who were at the press conference were active participants in the November 2017 coup that toppled Mugabe or are beneficiaries of that coup.
So, rather than share suspicions and fears of what is happening among themselves, those who know how to stage coups should do the witch-hunting among themselves and not torment long-suffering citizens with their drivel.
Why Zanu behaves that way Zanu and its leaders will continue to behave the way they do because the opposition MDC behaves as if it has been employed by the ruling party to remain in opposition forever.
Many are convinced that the two most problematic people who have managed to throw the wool over their supporters are taking advantage of their popularity to destroy the opposition party.
One tactic that they are using is to kick out all veterans or senior officials with a history with the party.
The young boys want to ensure they weaken the party by recruiting greenhorns whom they can easily manipulate.
The list of mature politicians kicked out, except for those retained for purposes of convenience, includes Elias Mudzuri, Jessie Majome, Thokozani Khupe, Morgen Komichi, Morgen Femai (there are too many Morgens in this party), Douglas Mwonzora and others waiting in the wings.
Are the rumblings coming from other veterans such as Paurina Mpariwa and Tapiwa Mashakada true?
Those who do not want to surrender their parliamentary seats in solidarity with the two leaders of the MDC faction argue that doing so will leave them with no source of income.
The two immature politicians can live off their projects in Namibia, which they established with Gushungo and G40 funds.
