Mugabe Orders Police To Arrest Zimbabwean Athletes, Olympic Team For Refusing To Win Medal At Rio
August 23, 2016 – Mugabe Orders Police To Arrest & Detain Zimbabwean Olympic Team For Refusing To Win Medal At Rio, Says They Are Useless
President Robert Mugabe has ordered police to arrest and detain the 31 athletes who represented the country at the just concluded Olympic in Rio, Brazil.
The controversial President said the athletes are useless for refusing to win a medal for the country.
Mugabe told Police commissioner Augustine Chihuri to arrest the athletes on their arrival at Harare Int’l Airport yesterday.
On why he ordered them arrested and detained, Mugabe said:
“We have wasted the country’s money on these rats we call athletes. If you are not ready to sacrifice and win even copper or brass medals (referring the 4th and 5th positions) as our neighbors Botswana did, then why do you go to waste our money”.
”If we needed people to just go to Brazil to sing our national anthem and hoist our flag, we would have sent some of the beautiful girls and handsome guys from University of Zimbabwe to represent us.”“This situation is like an impotent man who is married to five women, what is the essence? I will make sure we share the cost across board for all of them to pay back to government chest even if it takes 10 years to recoup, now it turns out to be a soft loan we have given them to go and visit Brazil as tourists, they are useless”.
What a strange man!!! Why arrest athletes for not winning medal.
How much did Zimbabwe invest on training these athletes before heading to Rio???

When the cost of the team’s soujjourn in Brazil is taken to be a soft loan and deducted from each athlete’s pay over a number of years, in event of the athletes winning a medal in the next Olympics, what will be the reward? Will the money deducted be refunded to the athletes with interest ?
Oga President, we understand the frustration but take it easy with the team a beg. Tomorrow is another day with opportunity to redeem the image of your Nation and it is most likely some members of this team that will compete, so give them another chance please!

THIS IS what happens when you have agadi ekwe nka as a president. I don’t know why this people can’t still oust this tyrant from office. The people of Zimbabwe are all zombies controlled by Mugabe. Zimbabwe and Zombie, look how the two words sound alike. One must have been coined from the other.

Mugabe is deranged. How can a reasonable man think this way more so a president of a country. The other day he ordered his motorcade to stop and bow to a big poster of him during a parade at the independence celebration of his country. He too bowed to his poster. I think it is time for courageous men in Zimbabwe military to chase him out. He is now grooming his wife to take over as the president.

What a DICTATOR!
I fear for the citizens. So this is the best way to welcome these philanthropists who took out their time to represent their country?
Well, God is still on the throne.
I wonder who will represent them at the next Olympic seeing what these ones passed through.

These young men and women should not be worried about this dictator’s remark. Mugabe is a problem himself. Instead for him to sit down and investigate the cause whether these athletes did receive proper training or not. On the other hand he should find out whether these athletes are from his rich colleagues instead of poor talented athletes who are not giving the opportunities to participate.
It is high time Mugabe retired; Zimbabwe needs young men and women to move the country forward in this digital age.
