Zimbabwean President, Robert Mugabe has instructed the Commissioner General of Zimbabwe Police Republic, Augustine Chihuri to arrest and detain the whole Zimbabwean Olympic Team members immediately the arrive at the Harare International Airport on Tuesday, August 23.
Zimbabwe which is one of the countries in the Olympics without a medal presented a team of 31 athletes. The closest any of the athletes came to win a contest was at the 8th position.
Mr. Mugabe who is incensed with the team’s performance told the Police Chief to arrest all the team members and detain them.
“We have wasted the country’s money on these rats we call athletes. If you are not ready to sacrifice and win even copper or brass medals (referring the 4th and 5th positions) as our neighbors Botswana did, then why do you go to waste our money” he said.
If we needed people to just go to Brazil to sing our national anthem and hoist our flag, we would have sent some of the beautiful girls and handsome guys from University of Zimbabwe to represent us.
He added that, the money invested in the team to represent the country could have been used to provide amenities and build schools.
“This situation is like an impotent man who is married to 5 women, what is the essence? I will make sure we share the cost across board for all of them to pay back to government chest even if it take 10 years recoup, now it turns out to be a soft loan we have given them to go and visit Brazil as tourist, they are useless ‘he concluded.
I have been reporting for several years now and I am very interested in visual news reportage with strong inclusion of photos and video multimedia.

Naija beta small we gettam for sth to celebrate. hehehe,,
Bro! That one bronze medal Nigeria won was not worth the money invested.The truth is ,government should stop participation in Olympics if there's no prior preparation .Medals don't come cheap ,it comes with hard work ,dedication and investment by government and donors .If Nigeria could not win one silver or proud of at least 5 bronze in all competitions then I see no purpose in going to Brazil to be a spectators rather than competitors .Mugabe is right except if there was lacking in training facilities ,coaching and preparation .if Nigeria would claim to be giant of Africa and beside Nigeria been the largest Black race nation then I see no excuses why Nigeria won't claim the highest figure of medal in Africa .Resilent Kenya won 6 gold ,6 silver with 1 bronze ,winning altogether 13 medals to its name ,and also SA .Whereas Nigeria won a bronze and we comparing that to Zimbabwe ,what's the difference between -1 and 0?
Spare me
