PRESIDENT Robert Mugabe shocked
show-goers on Friday August 30 when he rewarded them through his company Alpha
Omega Dairies for attending the 103rd edition of Harare Agricultural
Show.
Alpha
Omega which is involved in the manufacturing of dairy products is a subsidiary
of Mugabe’s controversial company Gushungo Dairies which a few years ago was
reported to have forced Nestle Zimbabwe to buy its milk which had gone bad
after failing to get customers.
Officials
manning the Alpha Omega stand which was exhibiting for the second time at the
show indicated that the first family had bought yoghurt and dairy juices for
all the children and woman attending the show.
And
to make matters more interesting the newly married Bona Mugabe helped in
dishing out the free products to the jubilant recipients, who were pushing and
shoving each other in long and winding queues that formed at the company’s
stand opposite the Hall of Commerce.
“All
children and women come and get free yoghurt and juices that amai Mugabe (first lady Grace Mugabe) has
bought for you, come and get this proudly health Zimbabwean products.
“Nothing
has been imported it’s all being made by Alpha Omega Dairies amai’s company come all of you there is
plenty for everyone, come please stand in the queues, you will all get.
“Our
mother doesn’t come to her children empty handed,” shouted one of the officials
at the stand using a microphone.
The
generous stunt by the octogenarian however left many people amazed because he
(Mugabe) publicly disowned Bulawayo and Harare residents for showing him the
middle finger in the just ended harmonized election.
Mugabe
was officially opening the Harare Agricultural Show.
