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.
