Perspective: Zimbabweans disappointed by Mnangagwa’s new cabinet

In my posted perspective dealing the newly elected President’s similarity with Mugabe and new leader. I referred to them as “peas in a pod”. Enough said. They have been long associates, so this new development re cabinet appointments is not surprising.  VP Mnanagagwa was there with Mugabe all along almost forty years (37 years).

In our perspective we do not expect a crocodile to change its cunning ways overnight. The newly elected president of Zimbabwe has a history as having been “ruthless” … he came to power through thuggery by army officers deposing the duly elected president Mugabe.  The army has been rewarded by being given senior positions in the new government they helped to install…. re payment for disloyalty to Mugabe.

Knife

We have a saying in Jamaica “The same knife that stab hog can stab cow” Today for me tomorrow for you. President Mnnanagagwa better watch his back. This is our perspective, what is yours?
