I told you yesterday that Amai had been helping the Vietnamese economy and ensuring that the Vietnamese have clean water to drink.
.
Amai clearly does not understand the "Look East" policy. You and I might think we know what this policy is about, but Amai seems to think that it is a way of externalising forex to poor Vietnam,(well, getting Gideon Gono to pay USD 100,000 for her), rather than getting USD 100,000 for poor Zimbabwe. Or maybe she misunderstood what Gono meant when he talked about the "Casino Economy": it doesn't mean gambling away the nation's wealth. (Actually, maybe that's what Gono does mean!)
.
And what did she externalise this money for? To buy a statue of herself in what I hope is not a typical pose.
.
Perhaps it would not be so bad if she was buying works of art of real merit, that we could sell after she goes for the benefit of the people of Zimbabwe. This isn't graceful: it's tasteless. How many bottles of water could I buy for USD 100,000? How many outbreaks of disease could I prevent with the millions she has spent on herself in the last eighteen months, the millions Gono says he hasn't got? "Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness."
.
And this story of Vietnam is just the tip of the iceberg. Why not stay reading this blog, and I will tell you more.
