IN THE PRESS

WHILE it is a fact of life that to err is human, it is always advisable to err on the side of caution, especially on issues to do with the administration of this country.

When the Minister of Finance and Economic Development makes a US$10 million error in the country’s National Budget, all alarms are set off.

The country simply does not have the appetite for slips of that magnitude in such an important policy document.

We expect more caution in next year’s budget.

Meanwhile, Evan Mawarire, that rabble-rousing fake pastor, is back from his self-imposed exile. While he would have preferred to stay comfortably holed up in United States, his handlers pushed him back home.

It was time for some action. Mawarire has to pay for all the goodies that he and his family have been enjoying for the past six months. There is no free lunch on this earth. It is at times like these that you almost feel pity for such near-sighted stooges.

Speaking to South Africa’s Daily Maverick while still in the US, it was clear that Mawarire was not very keen on coming back to Zimbabwe. He even claimed that he was having sleepless nights, staying up to think about what his handlers were making him do.

For someone who feigns innocence, there was absolutely no need to lose sleep over the prospects of returning home. But of course Mawarire knew the laws that he had broken prior to his departure.

But you just have to love the way in which the chap adores the cameras. However, this time around he won;t find many sympathizers. He is alone in this one.

The not-so-forgiving #thisflag and #tajamuka clans still have fresh memories of how Mawarire deserted them after advising them not to be afraid of fighting a constitutionally-elected Government.

A few of them still have pending cases before the courts courtesy of this gallivanting pastor.
