Joseph Msika, who died on August 4 aged 85, was vice-president of Zimbabwe and a central figure in his country's headlong rush to ruin.
A foul-mouthed, embittered man, much given to swearing in public and delivering foam-flecked speeches, Msika was perhaps the only Zimbabwean who could outdo President Robert Mugabe when it came to verbal vitriol. The targets of his bile included journalists, farmers, all young Zimbabweans – who had allegedly failed to match his standards of patriotism and devotion – and white people in general.
During a rally in Bulawayo in August 2001, Msika took racist rhetoric to a new level. Mugabe would routinely refer to white Zimbabweans as "greedy exploiters". But Msika bluntly declared: "Whites are not human beings." Even his audience from the hardened rank-and-file of Mugabe's Zanu-PF party was taken aback.
Msika's outpourings sometimes amounted to straightforward incitement. In November 2001 he encouraged a Zanu-PF mob to burn down the Bulawayo headquarters of the opposition Movement for Democratic Change (MDC), supposedly in retaliation for the murder of a member of the ruling party.
In this speech, Msika called the opposition "terrorists", compared the regime's brutal repression of the MDC to America's "war on terrorism", and declared that if Mugabe's critics "wanted a bloodbath, they would certainly get one".

Joseph Msika is survived by his wife, Maria, and six children.

Joseph Msika would fit right in with the Congressional black caucus./s Ouch!(putting on my flame suit now)
He would be considered to be too squishy for the caucus. He sounds more like ozero or holder. Birds of a feather. Isn’t ozero from a nearby african country?
good riddance!
