Ashley Baskerville

This Months 'MUNTU OF THE MONTH', a posthumous award made in recognition of her tremendous gifts, goes to an American. Ashley Baskerville, 21. (Pictured here below her Mother and Stepfather 47-year-old Mary Baskerville and 55-year-old Percyell Tucker).




In 2006 Ashley was dating Ray Dandridge. (The fellow on the left. The one on the right is her former boyfriend, Ricky Javon Gray)



Ray Dandridge was a felon she met when looking for Prison pen pals. He had recently been released after serving over 10 years for armed robbery. Seems our Ashley was partial to a man with a bit of hard time to his name.

The happy threesome went out a-thieving on New Years day, 2006. They arrived at the home of Bryan Harvey in Richmond Virginia, a well liked musician (49) who lived there with his wife Kathryn (39) and two daughters Stella (9) and Ruby (4).



While Ashley kept lookout in the Car, her boyfriends went inside and brutally killed the Harvey Family, stealing the wedding ring from Bryan Harveys cold dead hand. This he presented to Ashley as a token of his esteem. Ashley proudly wore this ring. Unfortunately for Ashley, the advanced Muntuism that was so prominent in her life at this point took a turn for the worse.

She was persuaded to pretend to be tied up at her Mothers home in an attempt to burgle the home of her Mother and stepfather, 55-year-old Percyell Tucker, 47-year-old Mary Baskerville.
It was less than a week since the Harvey murders, November 6th, when Police arrived at the Tasker-Baskerville home to find our award winner, Ashley with her head in a plastic bag, tied tightly with duct tape, which had terminally restricted her breathing.
Her mother and stepfather had also been suffocated and had their throats cut. The perpetrators were of course her muntuist boyfriends, Ray Dandridge and Ricky Gray. On her cold dead hand was the wedding ring, stolen from the body of Bryan Harvey just 5 days before.



For her advanced skill in choosing boyfriends from a rich gene pool of Muntuist blood, agreeing to burgle her own parents and happily wearing the wedding ring of a man whose death she conspired in, all before the age of 22, we have no hesitation in awarding the prestigious November MUNTU of the MONTH to Ashley Baskerville.

A tale of two Teodoro's

While Mark Thatchers friend, 'old Etonian' Simon Mann regrets underestimating the powerful friends of Equatorial Guinea's leader - Teodoro Obiang Nguema, (Pictured here with Condi) its business as usual in the Department of Forestry.

As Mann is there to testify, Western greed-mongers of questionable character doing deals with corrupt African muntuist leaders is probably the single largest cause of the misery that blights the dark continent. Consider the fortunes of Equatorial Guinea - a place with a lot of oil and a lot of poverty. Why should so many people in Equatorial Guinea live in poverty when oil sales are booming? The majority live on less than one dollar a day. How can that be - I hear you wonder.

According to the French fraud body OCRGDF, investigating payments of hundreds of millions of pounds of payments by Elf, the former French state-owned oil group, the explanation is simple and it is yet another powerful illustration of why muntuism blights Africa.

Meet Teodoro Nguema Obiang Mangue, 37, the quasi-prince of Equatorial Guinea, son of Equitorial Guineas's president, Teodoro Obiang Nguema, 66.

Mr Nguema Jnr has many French assets, allegedly he owns a Bugatti Veyron bought for 1.1 million euros, as well as a Maserati MC 12 which cost him 709,000 euros. He has a $34 million private jet and a luxury yacht with an on-board shark aquarium.

The prestigious gated community of Serra Retreat in Malibu is where Teodoro purchased a 16-acre estate at 3620 Sweetwater Mesa Road in April 2006 for $35 million in cash, last year’s California state record.

Meanwhile Teodoro has also had some fun in South Africa, spending close to ten million Rand over a weekend in South Africa on champagne, a black 2004 Bentley Arnage, a cream 2005 Bentley Continental R from MG Rover Cape Town and a six liter Lamborghini.

Teodoro also bought two fabulous Cape properties. While the R23,5 million house on Clifton Fourth Beach and R26 million mansion in Constantia are registered in the name of Teodorin Nguema Obiang, lawyers for South African businessman George Ehlers, who claims to have not been properly paid, have produced evidence to show that the properties were bought with Equatorial Guinea government funds. Whoopsie Teodoro.

Clearly Teodoro has made the most of his income as forestry minister of Equatorial Guinea, Africa's smallest country, managing to get through a few hundred million dollars in just a few years at a time when the vast majority of his 500,000 fellow countrymen live on a dollar a day. We at muntuism.com can only stand back and admire this stellar achievement, acknowledging a dream muntuist playing at the top of his game.

We propose recommending this outstanding father and son dream team for 'Muntuists of the Month'.
Equatorial Guinea's president, Teodoro Obiang Nguema and his trendy son, Teodoro Nguema Obiang Mangue.

You couldn't make this stuff up. I'll bet Simon Mann will give the two Teodoro's his vote.

Bongo the contender

With the reigning and undisputed champion of Muntuism currently being lauded by his peers in Sharm El Sheik, a new candidate for the prestigious July Muntuist of the month campaign has announced his credentials.

Ladies and Gentlemen. Meet Bongo (pictured with the other principal contender for the Muntuist of the Year award.)
Bongo is cheerleader in principal for the 53 African leaders coming out in support of their charismatic, democratically elected role model, Bob Mugabe.
Bongo says 'Mr Mugabe conducted elections and I think he won... He was elected, he took an oath, he is here with us as president, we cannot ask him more.' Cue applause from the other similarly minded African leaders.

Bongo, thats Omar Bongo, the president of Gabon since 1967, and no stranger to democratic elections himself advises that 'African leaders will not allow Western Governments to dictate their view of Zimbabwe.'

For his contributions in helping restore Muntuism in Zimbabwe to a new low level, we believe Bongo will enjoy considerable support by the electorate at Julys 'Muntuist of the Month.

Go Bongo.

Six contenders for July's 'Muntuist of the Month'.

Thanks to the wonders of British press, we can now name the six aspiring 'Mugabe's in training', junior Muntuists who seek the emulate the master himself. These six are the members of Zimbabwe's 'Joint Operational command' and their job is to ensure that muntuism is maintained in Zimbabwe at all costs. This means orchestrating the unspeakably atrocious conduct that is the hallmark of the Muntuists in Zimbabwe.

Here they are:

1. Emerson Mnangagwa. (Mugabes heir apparent to his Muntu crown.)

2. Constantine Chiwenga (General - head of Defense 'of the Muntuist' Force, whose successes in the use of gang rape by his soldiers to win over voter loyalty has demonstrated that Muntuists can understand the spirit of Democracy.)

3. Augustine Chihuri (General - Police Commissioner.)

4. Perence Shiri (Air Marshal - head of the air force.)

5. Paradzai Zimondi (Major General - Head of prison service. And Zimbabwes Prisons are a testament to his excellence.)

6. Gideon Gono (Head of Zimbabwes reserve bank, author of the 250 Million dollar bill)

Behind every great Muntuist there are a many wannabe Muntus scuffling for their share.
These six big men doing big work deserve rightful credit for their contributions in helping keep the flames of Muntuism burning so very brightly.

Hopefully our readers votes will be identify to pick a worthy winner. Don't waste your chance to vote.

Muntu of the Month - June 2008

This Months contenders faced formidable opposition. After all when it comes to Muntuism, Bob Mugabe is the 'Daddy Muntuist'.

Only the interests of fair play enable us to consider other contenders for this prestigious accolade, when really, with every Month that he remains alive, Bob is by rights both reigning champion and holder of the lifetime achievement award.

This Month though, where he has seen fit to hijack Tons of much needed UN food aid intended for the hungry of Zimbabwe, to bribe his footsoldiers, Bob once again sets the standard by which other Muntus will be judged.

Ally this act of Governmental munificence with the ongoing use of deathly violence against any who do not acknowledge his 'Supreme Muntuness' and you will see why we have overlooked a strong field this Month to announce the unanimous choice here at Muntuism.com.

And the winner is:

Bob 'Muntuman' Mugabe. Muntuist of the Month.

For any aspiring contenders we say. Watch and learn. You are witnessing a master Muntuist at work.

And the winner is - Grace Mugabe.

Grace Mugabe came to prominence while working as a secretary to the married Catholic Marxist President of Zimbabwe. Grace Guririza, a good Catholic school student, was married to Flight Lt Patrick Guririza. Mugabe was married to his first wife Sally when he and Grace commenced their love affair. Grace's husband Patrick was conveniently transferred to Beijing, from whence he never returned. Bob married Catholic Grace, 40 years his junior, with whom he already had 2 children in a ceremony attended by 40,000 of her closest friends (1996).

While Bob was a Freedom fighter, imprisoned for ten years by the Smith regime, his son died (1966 Malaria). Mugabe's request to be allowed to attend the funeral on compassionate grounds was denied, laying the foundation for his subsequent hatred towards English Authority figures. Grace very quickly produced a son for Bob, establishing the sanctity of their union.

Whilst Bob was with Sally his reputation as a socially concerned leader with a vision for a better future for all was widely held as a beacon of hope not only for Zimbabweans, but for many other Africans as well. The insane thoughts and dark deeds that have become characteristic of Mugabe's legacy appear to coincide with his union with Grace.

Grace has gone on to become much more than just the second first Mugabe lady of Zimbabwe. Her commitment to the Muntuist credo serves as a shining beacon to any wannabe Muntu seeking to live a life of gluttony and conscience free excess.

Grace earned her reputation as a fully qualified Muntuist in the 90's with her monstrous squandering of many Millions of pounds (UK) in shopping sprees at the worlds leading centers of indulgence as Zimbabwe spiraled into poverty and despair. With every indicator of economic regression flashing red - inflation - poverty - infant mortality - exports - basic food supplies - agriculture - industry - medicines - education - emigration - human rights abuses, Grace continued indulging her Billionaire lifestyle with the trappings of vulgar excess. Private planes.(Bob treated her to a plane owned by Hugh Hefner) Multiple mansions. Multiple walk in wardrobes filled with multiple designer outfits best suited to show off her traditional African build ........ well you get the idea. Self importance and megalomania taken to unimaginable levels. Totally, blissfully and deliberately unaware of anything beyond her own selfish needs.

On a scale relative to the poverty that surrounds her, Grace's achievements in Muntuism may be placed in the appropriate context. Most notably in living on over 1 Million dollars a day while many millions of other Zimbabwean women live on less than 1 dollar a day we see just how credible her claims to 'Female Muntuist of the year' really are.

For this reason alone we have no hesitation in making Grace the first recipient of 'The worlds leading female Muntuist award'. Winnie does not even come close. (Sorry Winnie but Grace has a much better qualified husband teacher in this regard.)

Every good Muntuist should plan ahead, because if Muntuism has taught us anything it is that accountability has no place in the credo. In this regard Grace once more demonstrates her natural aptitude with Muntuism. Chaing Ria, in Thailand, some 860kms North of Bangkok, a popular tourist paradise, is where Grace has completed construction of another magnificent Mugabe mansion, which, along with a significant portfolio of income generating investments in Thailand will ensure that she continues to enjoy the wealth of Zimbabwe long after her husband steals his final breath.

We at Muntism.com acknowledge and salute our first and reigning Female champion. Muntuist of the year. Lady Grace Mugabe. Catholic. Adulterer. Muntuist.

Welcome

In Swahili Muntu means 'Soul' or 'essence of mankind'.

The first Western use of the word was when a Black Prison officer at San Quentin originated the MUNTU symbol as a cover design for a program to give opportunities to Black convicts. It is used in America as a marketing brand name 'African American symbol whose owners claim it to mark 'the awakening of a new consciousness. An enlightened oneness.'
Muntu is also the name of the President of Tanzania in the Simpsons African episode.

Muntuism though is not any of these things.

Muntuism is a generic name describing a specific stereotype of the human condition. A Muntuist will conform to certain essential behavioral criteria.
A Muntuist will:
1. Not display any intelligent consideration.
2. Prioritise base needs above all else.
3. Will not show any awareness of accountability.
4. Will not demonstrate the ability to connect cause and effect.

A Muntuist is essentially a low level human being who has not yet made the transition from a subsistence base existence to being a contributing beneficiary of a social order. In a World beset by the iniquitous ways of the Muntuists, eliminating Muntuism represents mankind's best hope for raising global consciousness, thereby enhancing the prospects of a better world for all.
