Good day Mr President

GOOD day, President Emmerson Mnangagwa. Your Excellency, methinks Zimbabwe is in the hands of a callous ruling elite. It is my conviction that the country is not governed according to rule of the law, yielding to the tenets of citizenry participation, accountability and transparency.

As I see it, the temerity of a Zanu PF bigwig to urge the then Citizen Coalition for Change (CCC) leader Nelson Chamisa to take the first step towards reconciliation by extending a message of congratulations after his resignation as CCC party leader evidenced the unmitigated gall of a callous ruling elite.

Methinks it must have been against the backdrop of such a lordly disregard of objections that British playwright William Shakespeare remarked: "How insolent he has become, how proud, how peremptory!”
