I can’t imagine that anyone in his right mind would actually want to go to the 91st birthday party of Robert Gabriel Mugabe, which takes place this Saturday.
It promises to be an event of truly spectacular moral ugliness. While his people are starving, the ancient despot will convoke 20,000 cronies at a kind of golf club-cum-safari lodge near the Victoria Falls. In scenes reminiscent of the more disgusting and luxurious behaviour of the emperor Commodus, he will cause various exotic beasts to be slaughtered for the feast.
Five impalas will be roasted, two sables, two buffaloes – and then, to the ululations of his drunken Zanu-PF supporters, there will be a series of culinary climaxes, each more revolting than the last. A local farmer has procured two elephants, and after these rare and majestic creatures have been butchered for the delectation of the semi-deified Mugabe, there will be one more type of meat to come – an animal that you might think was semi-sacred, whose killing should be taboo, a creature that people would never normally dream of eating. Yes, a lion, the king of the animal kingdom, will lay down its life before the meat-maddened mob and have the honour of surrendering its mortal flesh to the palsied gullet of the man who still calls himself the “Hitler of Africa”.

I wonder how our homegrown Marxists in the Media-Academic-Government complex will rationalize this grotesque spectacle.
ReplyDeleteAt least "long pig" won't be on the menu. Well, we can hope not, anyway.
Play the race card as usual, I imagine.
ReplyDeleteThe more civilized animals are to be fodder for the belly of the beast.
ReplyDeleteWhat I see is reversion to 1785. For some reason pure ugly comes to mind.
Would be better if they put some of their own on the feast menu. Cannibalism
suits them.
reversion to 1785.
