Zimbabwean Man To Stand Trial For Telling A Mugabe Joke

Zebedia Mpofu allegedly had the audacity to tell a colleague at work that a soft drink and packet of biscuits he was having for lunch came courtesy of Zimbabwe’s economic policies under Robert Mugabe’s main rival, Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai. Thank goodness someone heard and reported this traitor, who now has to stand trail for insulting and/or undermining Mugabe.
Mpofu even went so far as to hint at the fact that Mugabe will die someday, and that Mugabe had ruined the country.  Preposterous – I cannot believe what I’m reading – and this coming from a general labourer at a private security firm in Harare! What does a “general labourer” know about politics anyway?
This lowlife is so convincing in his trickery that he’s even got Jeremiah Bamu of the Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights to successfully ask the court to move the trial date to August 11 to have time to prepare “a defence.”
