Sorry, I can't stop it. Like the scorpion that stung the frog in midstream,
it's what I do ....... :-)
And anyway, we've got it all planned. Just as soon as Gladys gets home from
liberating Afghanistan and the USA, she's going to get a new bicycle and
liberate Zimbabwe. Watch out, Robert Mugabe, your days are numbered.
However, Morgan might have to be prepared to be VP, because Gladys is sure
to insist that her mentor, Professor Isosceles Vilakazi, the well-known
academic, inventor and political observer, gets the top spot.
The Professor is known to be absolutely, completely, incorruptible. Why, in
his student days, when he worked at the old roadhouse out on the Umtali
Road, a pig of a customer once tried to give him a three cent tip. Needless
to say, Vilakazi returned it, very politely, murmuring that he did not need
such largesse. Indeed, he suggested, the muzungu probably needed it more.
When the muzungu declined, Vilakazi made great show of tossing the coins in
the air, and batting them across the car park with the back of his docket
book. Clearly demonstrating to the public at large that he did not accept
such gestures.
With such an incorruptible man at the helm, surely the Zimbabwe-to-be will
become known as Burkina Faso Too.
The Nymandhlovu Cleft Stick and Messenger also reports that not all the
present politicos will be chucked on the scrapheap when the new order comes
to power. Jonathan Moyo, for instance, is to be fed on a zero fibre diet,
and then appointed Minister of Labour ............
Further Government appointments
Ian Smith is to be brought out of retirement and appointed Minister of
Aviation and Elocution. Although the former Prime Minister quit flying
years ago, this is not thought to be important, as it is expected that by
the time it all happens, Air Zimbabwe will have done a Swissair, and quit
flying too.
Gladys herself intends to be Minister of Energy. Her trusty bike is to be
placed on blocks, and a larger dynamo installed on the rear wheel. Gladys
is confident that she can then pedal hard enough to generate more kilowatts
in an hour than Zesco can deliver in a week.
