Zimbabwean President, Robert Mugabe, has instructed the Commissioner General of Zimbabwe Police Republic, Augustine Chihuri, to arrest and detain the whole Zimbabwean Olympic Team members over dismal performance.
An incensed Mugabe referred to members of the team as rats.
Zimbabwe which is one of the countries in the Olympics without a medal presented a team of 31 athletes at the just concluded Rio 2016 Olympic.
The closest any of the athletes came to win a contest was at the 8th position.
Mugabe who is angered by the team’s performance told the Police Chief to arrest all the team members and detain them.
“We have wasted the country’s money on these rats we call athletes.
“ If you are not ready to sacrifice and win even copper or brass medals (referring the 4th and 5th positions) as our neighbours Botswana did, then why do you go to waste our money?
“If we needed people to just go to Brazil to sing our national anthem and hoist our flag, we would have sent some of the beautiful girls and handsome guys from University of Zimbabwe to represent us,’’ he said.
