The once troublesome “marriage” between President Emmerson Mnangagwa and Harare Mayor Jacob Mafume is finally working—thanks to the Geo Pomona scandal.

A deal that will reportedly earn the First Family a sweet US$90,000 per day has brought the pair closer than ever.

At the commissioning of Geo Pomona, Mayor Mafume declared, “I’m happy the relationship, which was like a troublesome marriage at first, is now working.”

He’s right, of course. With such a heist, who wouldn’t be happy?

He gets his share of the loot—and maybe a shot at generational wealth. 

In today’s marriages, money talks. Love follows.

To seal the bond, President Mnangagwa promised his dear partner, Mayor Mafume, a long stay in office.

Yes, comrades—Agenda 2030 has reached Town House.

President Ruka Chivende’s “We Are Everything” mantra has finally come true.

The opposition now dances to the beat of corruption.

Forget “change,” forget “democracy,” and forget pro-poor.” That old opposition talk is gone.

Like the pigs in Animal Farm, they now walk upright—just like the rest.

But a word of caution to Mayor Mafume.

As learned by the philosopher of “rational disputation,” Douglas Mwonzora, Trabablas isn’t loyal.

Once your usefulness ends, so does the marriage.

After giving birth to his wishes, Mafume will be dumped.

A new partner will be found. And the love story will start again.

Let me know if you want a more poetic version, or if you’d like this tailored for performance or print.
