Did they really say $800,000 for a party?

By Mukomana We Kuseri

Maybe I did not hear it right. Repeat for me please that l might hear. Matii?

Zvomene you are terring me kuti they want to use $800,000 to show off kaharahwa kavo, and noone is in the streets about this, why? Chirudzii? What kind? 21st February Movement kuita chii kwacho?! Fokoro mhani bratishiti!

Zvibhorani zvingani zvinobva pa 800 thau? In this year of drought they have the nerve to not just spend that much, but to come kwedu Masvingo to show off mari yengoda yavari kuba kuManyikarendi uko?

Now zvaakumeka sense.

That time when the short one from Matabeleland was sent to say that things are really good in Zimbabwe, you know that time after their other machikichori kuVic Falls. Kayamoyo I think is his name. They actually do think that things are going well.

And why not? They are all fat until they each have huro nhatu except kana vakarohwa nematsotsi, in which case twutumbu twakazvimba nemaARV ari kupedza muviri. They drive cars some of us only see on the app, and their children live in Dubai and holiday in Borrowdale. They have no idea about us.

Nyika yafa kufa kuti fi, and these clueless people have the nerve to lord it over us and waste money celebrating what? They are insensitive to the point of cruelty and we let them. We stand by the roadside drinking water from bottles with their faces when we should be burning effigies. We are too nice to these people.

And they are taking advantage. Big time.

How else do you explain kuti kababa kavo can have a two months holiday, so long until people say he is dead when he is not, then from that it is straight to a celebration. Yemarii?

Imwi vanhu. Come now. $800,000 and hapana kana even one wenyu anombopfakanyikawo kuti no?

Kwakambodamwa vanaaniko tizivevo? Kuda vangativigiravo maputi? Or do they not eat that at these parties? Zvazibwa nani kuno kuseri?

If people cannot be angered by this, then mose munoinda kudenga! Mose muri vana Jeso Kristo. Ha! $800,000? Muzhara muno? I ask you again: ndati, zvibhorani zvingani zvinobuda pa 800 thau?

Why am the only one that seems to be angered by this?
