After KOT Trolled Mugabe Following His Fall, 27 Jobs Are On The Line

The whole world watched gleefully as Zimbabwe’s supreme leader crashed and tumbled to his shame at Harare International Airport.

This was after he addressed his Zanu PF followers who had come to welcome him from the African Union summit that saw his return as the African Union (AU) chairman.

Memes were made, cyber trolls had a field day and the tabloids certainly raked in the numbers but not everyone is smiling.

According to Zimbabwe’s Standard newspaper , 27 members of Mugabe’s security detail have been suspended following his epic fall. It’s not that Mugabe could not take a joke and becoming the internet’s latest sensation, it was because the said guard failed in their duty to protect the president. He shouldn’t have landed on the floor like that someone should have held him up.

An official said that “There are many departments that are being investigated, from Air Zimbabwe, the advance team and the security. I doubt if some of them will come back. The issue here is simple. The security team was caught napping.

They were taking things for granted and failed to adhere to basics. It is protocol that the immediate proximity is, at most, three meters from the President. These are the bullet takers and in cases where he falls they are supposed to hold him either by the arm or by the shoulder and should never take their eyes off him.”

Adding that Mugabe’s landing on all fours should never happen. Before asking “What if someone pulled a gun? The immediate proximity team should have helped him up because those are the people that are allowed to touch him before anyone else.”
