Robert Mugabe, Zimbabwean President was one of the oldest African presidents and he will be remembered for his long history of making hilarious or controversial remarks for nearly four decades. He delivered a killing speech laced with satire and his sense of humour made him an interesting figure in the year of 2017.
“Racism will never end as long as white cars are still using black tyres. Racism will never end if people still use black to symbolize bad luck and white for peace. Racism will never end if people still wear white clothes to weddings and black clothes to funerals. Racism will never end as long as those who don’t pay their bills are blacklisted not whitelisted. Even when playing snooker, you haven’t won until you’ve sunk the black ball, and the white ball must remain on the table! But I don’t care, as long as I’m still using white toilet paper to wipe my black ass, I’m happy.”
