Dear Mr Mnangagwa
I read that you wanted to name ten roads after yourself. Nice round number and should cover most of the country. Also one way to ensure that you go down in history. Some people say they'd love to see you go down - period.
I imagine this does make giving and taking directions quite simple. Directions to the ruins would probably go something like:
"Take Mnangagwa Road out of Bulawayo and keep going north until you reach Mnangagwa Drive after about 100 kilometres.
The road does get pretty bumpy but hang in there. You're bound to find the ruins - can't miss them with this new mnanagwarization of the road systems. About 60 Km down Mnangagwa Drive, look out for Mnangagwa Crescent on the left (where else?). Follow that for 70 kilometres, then watch for the on-ramp to Mnangagwa Highway. By this time, signs and pointers to the ruins will be just about everywhere. Zimbabwean drivers don't really need the markers. It's a well known route. South Africans and others, though, need to read the signs quite carefully."
Mr Mnangagwa, I trust that you also have a statue or two in mind. I think you need to make sure that you at least keep pace with your predecessor.
Yours in the quest for immorality..., oops, immortality.
Richard
