Windhoek — THE only sin Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe has committed, according to NUNW President Alpheus Muheua, is that he "repossessed stolen land and returned it to the rightful owners".
Addressing a packed Kuisebmond Stadium at Walvis Bay during Thursday's May Day celebrations, Muheua said that Mugabe is now being "given the medicine of the white supremacists" - those threatening other African leaders with the "same medicine" if they did not treat the white supremacists' people right.
He also said that "self-proclaimed human rights and civil societies" have joined the chorus of unsubstantiated lies about "His Excellency Mugabe and his government".
According to Muheua, just as Namibia's own leaders were referred to as "terrorists" and "Communist dogs" not so long ago by "western states and their puppets", Mugabe was being referred to a "mad man".
"It is a pity that southern African leaders do not seem to understand the long-term political strategy of the custodians of the global white supremacist system," Muheua said.
According to him, some groups wanted Namibians to believe that Namibia's independence was brought about by the white businesspeople of South Africa, and not by the struggle of the combined forces of Cuba, MPLA, Frelimo and Plan.
"I urge our workers to reject and condemn these absurd assertions by the so-called intelligentsia in an attempt to distort our glorious history," he said.
