Comedians feast on Mugabe’s domestic crisis

BULAWAYO — Umahlekisa Comedy Club members, Mandla da Comedian and Miss Dee, on Wednesday night took turns to entertain revellers at Pub Lagondola’s comedy and poetry session drawing inspiration from First Lady Grace Mugabe’s assault case against a South African model, Gabriella Engels.

The poets also culled material from the incident during which Vice-President Emmerson Mnangagwa was hospitalised after suspected food poisoning at a Zanu PF youth interface rally in Gwanda.

Imitating Mugabe’s voice, Mandla said he was worried they would have to pay compensation with land after Grace assaulted their future daughter in-law, adding that ice cream was likely to become the second largest killer after HIV-related illnesses.
