Linkundla is stunned at observing that young politician, Acie Lumumba, a former Zimbabwe Youth Council leader was whisked away by police who took him in for questioning and released him after using an “F” word insulting His Excellence, Head of State about the state of his head amidst the crunch situation Zimbabwe is going through at the launch of his Viva Zimbabwe political party .
His
bravery is scary and could be applauded for a young politician to
stand up and challenge the biting situation the country is going
through, however the way police dealt with him afterwards shows that
it was a well planned prank aimed at testing the gullibility of the
people with an intention to lure the young voters who might be anti
status quo.
Lumumba
is featuring as the solution and a hero whose confidence will woo
many people to come
open and hull insults at the state institutions and therefore making
it easy forLumumba's
paymasters to deal with opposition and crush the malcontents that can
derail corroded Zanu PF train which is moving very fast into a
dungeon.
Lumumba
is the former chairman of Zimbabwe youth council that was accused of
marginalising young people who were perceived as opponents of Zanu PF
in the empowerment drive that government embarked on several years
ago.The
smooth-talking Lumumba who recently quoted controversy when his
pornographic video leaked online, accused Mugabe of murder and
undermining Zimbabweans' future. "In politics the are red lines
you do not cross; you don't cross the red line and start killing
people, you don't destroy people's families, you don't take their
future, you don't destroy the future of the young men and women for
your personal gain.
Lumumba
added that he would not apologise for belonging to Zanu PF at
one time but attacked the ruling party for giving false promises to
the people. He
admitted to being corrupt while he was still a Zanu PF member, adding
that he would not seek a government position in the future. "Imagine
I was 23 years when I was given the whole province to run with a
million dollar budget, what was I supposed to do with this? "And
before you know it, you ask for a car, then you get a truck, and you
ask for a Benz before you know it yatouya (It has been delivered),
and before you know it you are gone-consumed by corruption."
Linkundla realises that the whole country is watching this stage play of Acie Lumumba and hope it will scoop NAMA Award when the event of rewarding comes. The directors of the stage play also deserve an Oscar Award following the discovery and nurturing of a raw talent in form of Acie Lumumba.
