ZANU-PF is like a condom

One irate reader, worried about how the ruling ZANU-PF has run down the country, has likened it to a condom. Writing in the Financial Gazette, Stivo Musekiwa, said:

"The ruling ZANU-PF should consider changing its emblem from a cockerel to a condom, because it vividly reflects the party's political stance. A condom is cheap. It survives severe inflation, halts production, encourages cheating, protects a bunch of idiots and gives one a sense of security while screwing others."

Ed: This was extracted from The Insider of 20 December 1999.  What do you say about this?
