Revolutionary greetings all,
Reading an already delivered speech by president Mugabe is definitely not a transgression, but remember State of the Nation addresses are simply not delivered off the cuff, right? Imbedded in them are hopes and inspirations of the Nation; they encampus the country's vision thus making the incident not trivial. Some leaders even memorize them so to appear to be orators ala Cicero, that's what many of them do; I suspect Obama does the same, despite being not indictable to read a wrong speech but this faux pas can't be regarded as a piccadillo for reasons aforementioned. Having said that, perhaps a phraseologically self short-charging was used by saying: "He must call it quits." These words were used with the knowledge that ZANU isn't just a one man show, president Mugabe certainly has fidus Achates in his party some whom he was in the trenches with he can pass the baton to. If he feels he could still run the relay without handing over the baton to a new energized sprinter, it then smacks of scepticism for his own comrades so mishaps like reading anachronistic speeches will continue. Where he mentally agile, as he is known to be, he was supposed to rehash the speech triggered by an engram, no one would have noticed and we wouldn't be having this debate today. It will be naive to think that he isn't been taken advantage of because of his age. By whom it may be asked? Not by the Imperialist West, certainly not by compradors in the MDC but by his own comrades in ZANU because such speeches are not simply put on a lectern for a reader, even eloquent preachers visit the Bible in the absence of congregants and pretend the next day to be au fait with the gospel when delivering a homily. Fears that if he steps down there shall be political upheaval in Zimbabwe and that may spill over to South Africa. Then this is like a deferment of the inevitable because president Mugabe is not immortal. As we speak a countless number of our Zimbabwe brothers and sisters are in South Africa some whom white settlers take advantage of because of their illegal status. It's time president Mugabe handed the baton to a trusted comrade who would run the mile not because of him having read a previously delivered speech but of his dotage seen by us ‘his admirers’ and I repeat ‘HIS ADMIRERS.’ From: payco@googlegroups.com [mailto:payco@googlegroups.com] Sent: 21 September 2015 08:14 AM To: payco@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: [PAYCO] Time to call it quits for my Pres. Dear Comrades There are two ways to look at this. Oratory goes a long way in drawing mass appeal. All organizations that have succeeded had the oratory being integral to their success. People used to walk long distances to listen to their leaders speak with pep and zest, now they are bused only to listen to gobbledygook by uninspiring orators. Look no further than us if you want to see this in actual context. Mugabe on the other hand is a type of speaker whom when he speaks, the world listens, the detractors always fasten their seatlbelts that is why it was even easy to hype up the situation surrounding his address. Always clear, eloquent and caustic to a certain extent but this did not excuse him from familiarising himself with the speech prior to delivery. With that said there can be other convincing reasons for daring Mugabe to resign but speech delivery is the least of them. Meanwhile, in the Pan Afrikanist block I cannot remember the last time we had a speaker who could move audiences both within and outside his constituency. You can have all the requisite theory but if it lacks delivery of a professional punch it is as good as dull. Let us continue reflecting on mass communication being an uncompromising leadership character trait.
