HARARE: Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe has launched a verbal war with Kenyans. While Presiding over a funds drive in a city church on Sunday where he was the chief guest, Mugabe said that Kenyans are the most arrogant thieves in the world because they steal with high degree impunity.
โThose people of East Africa shock me with their wizardry in stealing. Sometimes I tend to believe that stealing is in every Kenyanโs blood. These people go to their schools and read good courses but they qualify as the best thieves. You can even think that there is a subject in their universities called Bachelor of Stealing. Whenever they get an opportunity as employees, they never disappoint. They steal enough money to buy their freedom because even the judges who listen to their cases are financially powerless. I urge you my people to be on high alert in case you by bad luck, happen to visit that East African nation. They might infect you with that disease and we donโt want it here. Zimbabweans are honest people who love their country and donโt want such stealing tendencies โ He shouted with courage as he advised his nation.
Nonetheless, Kenyans especially those on Twitter are yet to react in response to Mugabeโs callously conveyed contempt on them.
