Defence Of The Realm


Dear Mr Mnangagwa

So your courageous security people uncovered a plot to overthrow your duly elected government. By a journalist and an opposition politician. Dangerous combination. Sounds like the kind of threat Tom Cruise would face in one of the missions impossible. I just don't know how your guys do it. Time and again. So many threats, so little time. 

Sir, have your very capable people investigated thoroughly? This could be just the tip of the proverbial iceberg. What about your ministers and army people? Don't you think there may also be nurses, doctors, HR managers, street sweepers and others involved? Motive and opportunity are there, as the best TV crime series advise. I would look closely at postmen. They could carry all sorts of things besides letters.There might be some sinister symbolism behind their always knocking twice. There may well be a hotbed of agitators and subversives, all dressed in sheepskin coats. Why not simply lock up every tenth person, just to be sure. Better safe than overthrown. 

As for the US involvement, one wonders what they may be after in Zimbabwe. The banana crop maybe? Or is it the nuts? (I've been told that they thrive in your fertile soil). I knew from the start that Trump was up to no good with the constant tweeting. There they go, 'interfering in the course of justice' by Twitter. Is there no limit to their depravity? After all, which country can boast that their mills of justice grind as swiftly and surely as yours? It is not difficult to guess that the other foreign power you refer to is the little satan, Britain. From time immemorial they have been sticking their noses into your business. Probably to detract from their own problems back home. Which road is named after Boris Johnson? You have ten.

Yours in the struggle against counter-revolutionaries.

Richard
