Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 31365, member: 636"] Eddie Cross spoke bad things about Zimbabwe leaders during a TV show. He later said sorry because he had no proof. The message from this white man makes Dr. Muswere angry because it suggests that black people need white help. Cross tried to walk back his words after making them. He admitted he lacked evidence yet still went on South African television making big claims against important people. His behavior shows how some white people still think they know better than everyone else. Dr. Muswere called Cross an excited troublemaker who says crazy things. The government listens to many voices but draws the line at empty accusations. Cross takes advantage of his connections with powerful people. He pretends these connections make him important. The minister believes Cross says nice things about Zimbabwe leaders during daylight hours, then changes completely when cameras roll. He acts like he knows everything, yet he produces zero facts to back up what he claims. Cross lived through Rhodesian times when white people had special rights. He benefited from those unfair systems. Dr. Muswere thinks this history shapes how Cross sees Zimbabwe today. The government welcomes good ideas from anyone but rejects baseless attacks. Cross seems unable to tell the difference between having access to leaders and having actual authority. His behavior reminds many people of old colonial attitudes that never fully disappeared from certain minds. The minister wants Cross to stop spreading rumors without proof. This habit disrespects people who work hard for Zimbabwe. Cross acts differently depending on who watches him. With government officials, he plays the helpful friend. On foreign TV shows, he becomes someone else entirely. Dr. Muswere reminds everyone that God created all humans equal. That truth applies even to people who once enjoyed special treatment during colonial days. After realizing his mistake, Cross published his apology online. He claimed he would give President Mnangagwa evidence but later admitted he had none. According to government officials, this pattern reveals his true character. The minister emphasized that Zimbabwe welcomes constructive criticism from any source. However, personal attacks without facts harm public trust. Dr. Muswere asked Cross to behave better moving forward since spreading false stories helps nobody. [/QUOTE]
