Mugabe: “The internet lacks management and control”

This week Geneva played host to Robert Mugabe at the ICT Conference, why he attended we are all still wondering why?????

What does Robert know about ICT and communications? Whats he doing  in Europe, I thought he was on a ban? Whats he doing at an ICT conference, why doesn’t he leave it to the experts. This man goes to conference after conference (maybe to get away from Grace) but its nothing that ever benefits the average zimbabwean.

He told the conference that the internet posed a threat to the moral fibre of Zimbabwean people, basically he has a few issues with the internet and he is worried that Zimbabweans will go crazy once they all have access to the net. He is aware that it is a very good communication tool but he would like some control over it. To that I say get on your bike (or Zimmer frame) old man, we know what happens when you manage or control anything. Does he think we are little kids who cant think for themselves, Zimbabweans as a nation have been more than okay when it comes to knowing whats right or wrong we certainly dont need any managment or control.

Mugabe you want to control everything let us be please, we know you have issues with “your” people accessing varying forms of media but not everyone goes online to surf for porn or to commit cyber crime.

This man has tried his best to control independant radio stations and Newpapers, those he hasn’t closed down he has kicked out of the country.

The internet has transformed many lives around the world and the Zimbabwean people should not let this man hold them back, we can manage and control it ourselves ask Chamisa about security software tools, firewalls etc.

Remember what happened with the mobile phone industry in Zimbabwe, they wanted to manage and control it and in doing so the country was left behind and the industry is only picking up now at a very slow rate.
