Why did the chicken cross the road?
Morgan Tsvangirai: Because it wanted a taste of life on the other side of the road. It was exercising its right.
Patrick Chinamasa: No. The chicken did not cross the road. In fact we need to verify whether in fact it was a chicken. As far as we know, the chicken is still there. It could have been an eagle. We have to wait until verification is done.
Didymus Mutasa: I do not think it crossed the road. If it crossed the road it’s because the white farmer dragged it. But we cannot allow that to happen. It will have to come back.
Joseph Chinotimba: The kichen, no, chicken is a sell-out against the revolution. The ‘O’ vets will have to eat it!
Robert Mugabe: The chicken will never be allowed to cross the road. Not in my life time! Let those that run away to Bush and Brown do so. Not my chicken! My chicken will never cross the road. It will never be colonised again!
Thabo Mbeki: Er … uhm … I don’t see any chicken at the moment … Er … I think it is right for us to wait and see. Let things take the natural course. If… if… if it did cross the road we will be told officially. If it wants to cross the road we will see it when it crosses. There is nothing to talk about at the moment … Er … I don’t see any problem right now.
Tendai Biti: We have irrefutable evidence from those who were at the road that the chicken has, indeed, without any shadow of doubt, crossed the road. I hereby declare that Chicken Huku Inkuku is now the legitimate resident of the other side of the road.
Bright Matonga: At the moment we know that it has not crossed the road, despite imperialist efforts to push it. We know they will try again and are now preparing to unleash the remaining 75% of our effort so that it can never be pushed again next time.
Nathaniel Manheru a.k.a. George Charamba: How can, a chicken, itself a hapless bird, be expected to cross the road unless it is pushed deviously and surreptitiously by the hand of the vicious and uncouth imperialists? The only chicken that can cross that road is a stooge, a puppet, an instrument of the West that will be rocket-propelled by the loud fart of Brown and Bush … Icho!
Levy Mwanawasa: It knew the ground on that side was sinking like the Titanic. It had to cross.
General Chiwenga: It can’t.
Commissioner-General Chihuri: It can’t cross the road.
Gordon Brown: It was running away from Mugabe.
Jacob Zuma: I think it is important that we be told whether or not the chicken actually crossed road. That should be very easy to do.
Jonathan Moyo: Of course, the chicken crossed the road because it could not stand the nonsense on the other side. But the shameless securocrats will do everything in their power to prevent everyone from knowing that it, indeed, and unequivocally crossed the road.
Judge of the High Court: Whether or not it crossed the road is a matter for the officials to declare at their own time. They have the power to order a re-check and verification as to whether it crossed the road before they can make the declaration.
Zimbabwe Electoral Commission: We are not in a position to say whether or not the chicken crossed the road. There are some people who have complained that it probably wasn’t a chicken at all and others saying it was being pushed or dragged against its will. We are currently considering whether to do a re-check before we can officially declare if the chicken crossed the road. We will take as long as we want to be fully certain that it was a chicken that crossed the road.

Anonymous, are you hiding Commissioner-General Chihuri?
April 23rd, 2008 at 12:01 pm

April 23rd, 2008 at 12:26 pm
Sometimes it’s not the teacher’s fault. But ok, we’ll have that point annulled for now.
April 23rd, 2008 at 12:27 pm
There there.

Thank you.
April 23rd, 2008 at 12:33 pm

April 23rd, 2008 at 12:46 pm

Well, PLEASE Promise me it ain’t recon. ‘Cause that’d be tragic.
April 23rd, 2008 at 18:36 pm
Actually, reconnaissance work is a good thing, showing forward-thinkingness, a virtue. BUT if it is done with stealth, TRAGIC Aka Stalkin. So, which is it?

April 24th, 2008 at 13:29 pm
This is almost as frustrating as waiting for a new Zimbabwean President. I don’t want to know anymore.
April 24th, 2008 at 14:08 pm
You people I don’t even know what results you want. The outcome has already been determined ka. Muchazvinetsa.

Truck? Road? tat? (/me plays dumb-fuck)
April 24th, 2008 at 15:08 pm
What I find puzzling is who is preventing the movement if there isn’t a crisis?
April 24th, 2008 at 15:37 pm
erm which movement…
the only reason they are pullin the ship back is to placate big bad sam… i mean they have a bad enuff human rights record without addin our ‘human rights crisis’ to their record
April 24th, 2008 at 16:20 pm
Yeah but WHAT CRISIS?
I meant movement of ammo and stuff across SA to that place where there ain’t not crisis.
April 24th, 2008 at 17:01 pm
welll what if it was actually legitemate business??? you ever think of that… i mean how long does it take a cargo ship to travel from china to sa??
April 24th, 2008 at 17:53 pm
To put it in rude, plain, unpalatable words — true patriotism, real patriotism: loyalty not to a Family and a Fiction, but a loyalty to the Nation itself!
…”Remember this, take this to heart, live by it, die for it if necessary: that our patriotism is medievel, outworn, obsolete; that the modern patriotism, the true patriotism, the only rational patriotism, is loyalty to the Nation ALL the time, loyalty to the Government when it deserves it.” Mark Twain
………..simple
April 24th, 2008 at 18:56 pm
dhlaks, there is still the possibility someone knew that their time was up long before people started voting. May have made an order then which may actually have been to late. Maybe they were supposed to arrive before the elections started, ready to make some damage at the polls or after the result came. In fact, maybe the reason the decision is being held is coz there ain’t no arms to enforce whatever the powers that be come up with. And by the way, this line of convo is boring me now so consider this the last time I try and get this across, “THESE ARMS COMING UP WHEN THEY DID IS NOT JUST A COINCIDENCE” and “PATIENCE IS VIRTUE AND PEOPLE WILL KNOW WHAT TO DO WHEN THE TIME COMES AND IT AIN’T GOT NUTTIN TO DO WITH BEING WIMPS”. So D, until you change the record, we are done. Over and out.
April 24th, 2008 at 19:07 pm
Dhlaks, don’t be a dork. Wasn’t that shipment dispatched on 1 April?
April 24th, 2008 at 20:00 pm
JOE!
April 24th, 2008 at 20:40 pm
And I was so naive as to think there’d be fair do’s at this election… I heard there’s tankers on the road already – how true is this?
April 25th, 2008 at 07:34 am
It’s all rumour again. Don’t worry, I’ll let you know when I’m dodging bullets.

Stories like this give me hope for the continent yet. Can you imagine any of our erudite ministers voluntarily jumping. And not because they are short on scandals.
April 25th, 2008 at 10:44 am
This is facebook in disguise. Funny stories Black. The weekend beckons. Please keep us entertained.
