Government business has kept me away for some time, but such is the life of a politician.
Today we heard from Morgan. He was telling the whole world about our little deal. I was sitting with General Chiwenga and Perance Shiri (his shoulder has healed now) in my office watching Tsvangirai on close-circuit TV (ours has sound).
Chiwenga could not stop laughing.
We got the Permanent Secretaries. We told Morgan that we will look into the appointment of Governors (as if!) and he announced that we had handed over 5 posts to his party.
I want to see who will swear them in.
I thought Tsvangirai would get the message when I told him that Bennett would be sworn when the Governors are sworn in. This is the same as saying he will be sworn in when hell freezes over.
Morgan dutifully announced to the press today that his friend would be sworn in when hell freezes over!
All my ambassadors will remain were they are.
Gideon Gono and Johannes Tomana are staying put. Tsvangirai can put that is his pipe and smoke it.
Still he appears happy enough. He really must just concentrate on doing the job of sorting out the economy.
Anyway, that's government. I win again and I remain on top. Go to SADC for them to moderate between us? I say bring it on. I know how to handle SADC. They are all my friends and they detest Tsvangirai. So I will be amongst friends, he amongst enemies.
Grace left yesterday for a flying visit to Bona. We are quite of the girl. She is doing very well at her University. The mother can not bear to be away from her for any period of time. She says she will go window shopping with Bona in Hong Kong and have tea or something.
I hope she finds someone to carry the windows back to Zimbabwe.
Robert Junior managed to sneak into a British Universiy under an assumed name. It is top university and only the Vice Chancellor knows who he is. It's lucky that I have kept my children out of media attention. No one will recognise him.
They will get a nasty surprise when he finally graduates. They will not be able to do anything about it then!
Chatunga (whom his mother insist on calling Bellamime) is doing well as Hartman College. It is a brilliant school and they were getting too happy, wanting to hike fees and so on and I immediately put a stop to that. The headmaster spent a couple of days at Matapi Police Station and that set him straight.
I have not heard anymore about increases in school fees after that.
As for my harvests, we got loads of maize this season. Joseph Made is still counting up the tonnes, but it will be a record-breaking year.
I am grateful to the South African for supplying me with 300 Rands worth of fertiliser and seed. It made the difference.
Tobacco we also got, although not in any spectacular amounts. It should be enough to pay for University fees and living expenses for Bona in Hong Kong for the rest of the year.
I am off to bed, today was a long day, so much strategising to do!
Oh, Robert junior says hello.
