“Malema is nothing more than a shrunken, talkative joke,” says Information Minister Mushohwe

Information Minister Chris Mushohwe said the Government of Zimbabwe finds quite irritating and uncalled for insulting statements by the so-called Economic Freedom Fighters leader, Julius Malema, directed at Zimbabwe, and at the person of President Mugabe. Mushowe said what an “embarrassment, what miserly little grasp of continental politics he exhibits in the process. “We pity and dismiss him as an ignorant youth, “rema” in Shona, one abortively trying to punch above his life-long weight.” This follows statement Malema ‘comrades’ in ruling party in Zanu are a group of cowards for not being able to tell an old man like Mugabe to go. “President Mugabe cannot even handle a spade when he tried to plant a tree just recently that is how old he is. He is no longer capable of discharging his duties, and then they nominate him for presidency again in 2018," Malema told reporters in Johannesburg Monday. "We do not hate Mugabe, they can respond and insult us however they want, [Former Cuban president] Fidel Castro let go [of leadership] when he was no longer able to lead. Grandpa, it is enough now...allow other people to take the revolution forward in Zimbabwe." In a ‘strong worded’ statement Mushowe said what made Malema’s statements irritatingly despicable was an informing presumption that in spite of his threadbare, prodigal political career, he visualized himself as important enough to comment and pass judgment on the leadership credentials and political career of so iconic a figure as President Robert Gabriel Mugabe. “His preposterous claim that his treacherous, pro-white, neo-colonial politics find inspiration in the figure and politics of President Mugabe is a hard-to-suffer insult. “There is just no meeting point between the two politics, let alone between this puny, struggling person and President Mugabe. “This side of the Limpopo, Julius Malema shines as a loud-mouthed “Gucci” revolutionary who acquired the infamy of deserting and betraying politics of liberation as espoused by the ANC.

he Information Minister added that Malema’s inspiration lies elsewhere, and no amount of taping from the proud record of Zanu-PF and Zimbabweans, or of invoking the name of Zimbabwean leader and will grant him even a patina of respectability, whether at home, on the continent or abroad. “Simply, he is nothing more than a shrunken, talkative joke. And in typical fashion of political charlatans, he seeks to make up for his inner political deficiencies by projecting himself as a trans-border, continental politician who fancies himself big and cute enough to pass comment and judgment on developments elsewhere on the continent. “We doubt whether he is even aware that his unsolicited comments on Zanu-PF and President Mugabe came barely twenty-four hours after a landslide by-election victory
