Mugabe blasts Mutasa as a  stupid fool that cannot be corrected

President Robert Mugabe returned home this afternoon but without his wife Grace whom he said had had an operation and stayed behind to recuperate. Mugabe, who has been in the Far East on his annual leave, blasted his former secretary for administration, Didymus Mutasa, as a stupid fool that cannot be corrected.  “It is surprising that a man who was part of us all along, who was the Minister of State Security, is now behaving this way. He no longer adheres to party principles and after losing Central Committee elections, he can’t accept that. Now he is reporting party business to outsiders and seeking intervention. A stupid fool cannot be corrected but ZANU-PF issues cannot be taken overseas, we don’t entertain outside interference.,” Mugabe was quoted by the  Zimbabwe Broadcasting Corporation as saying.  Mutasa has reportedly written to the Southern African Development Community and the African Union to nullify the Zimbabwe African National Union-Patriotic Front congress held last month. “A stupid fool cannot be corrected,” Mugabe was quoted by the French news agency as saying. “There is nothing you can do to a straying grey ass. It’s a graying ass just braying. We have no time for individuals of little brains, disorganised, mentally deranged if not close to being insane.”
