In his own words "the worst cabinet in history"

"This cabinet that I had was the worst in history. They look at 
themselves. They are unreliable," Mugabe was quoted as saying in 
the Herald newspaper following the opening of Parliament on 
Tuesday 26 August 2008. 

For a man who is 84 years old that is a long history. 

What is a cabinet? – “A Cabinet systems of government share two 
common principles. First, they observe the principle of 
collective responsibility. Cabinet ministers share in the 
process of making cabinet decisions and are duly bound to defend 
those decisions in public irrespective of private opinion. 
Secondly, they observe the principle of parliamentary 
accountability.” 

All current Zimbabwean cabinet ministers serve at the pleasure 
of Robert Mugabe, are answerable to him and appointed by him 
without consultation with parliament or any other arm of 
government. 

When the “cabinet” established a committee of bare-footed 
ministers to further explore scientific ways of harnessing 
diesel oozing out of rocks in Chinhoyi, at the behest of a 
clairvoyant, it was as a result of combined cabinet decision 
that included the then President Mugabe. 

The same cabinet concluded that monkeys were responsible for the 
shortage of wheat in 2005, after the monkeys had sabotaged the 
transformers at Sable chemicals, Zimbabwe’s sole producer of 
Ammonium Nitrate fertiliser. 

Below is ZANU (PF)’s idea of a patriotic “dream team”, the 
cabinet of failure. Men and women, who have collectively 
cancelled all private title deeds, created the world’s highest 
hyperinflation and produced the lowest life expectancy since 
record keeping commenced: President. Robert MUGABE

This cabinet and its various appendages was essentially the ZANU 
(PF)’s board of directors, for its criminal enterprise that 
specialised in looting of private property especially commercial 
farms, national asset theft, embezzlement and the murder of 
innocent Zimbabweans opposed to its archaic policies. 

Mugabe is about to announce another illegal, bloated cabinet and 
appoint recycled political fossils from ZANU (PF) archives.
