In Christian legend the wandering Jew is a character doomed to live until the end of the world because he taunted Jesus on the way to the Crucifixion. He is doomed to wander, looking for something he is doomed never to find because he does not know what it is he is looking for.
Nelson Chamisa is the “wandering Jew” of Zimbabwe politics.
“Going forward, as we alluded to in our independence speech, 40 is a sacred number – life begins at 40, the children of Israel took 40 years to cross into Canaan and Jesus Christ spent 40 days and 40 nights in the wilderness. Zimbabwe turned 40 this year! Hope is our portion!” said Chamisa in his latest epistle.
“Let us prepare for the new independence as we claim back all that was stolen and demand a people’s government through citizens’ peaceful protests per section 59 of the constitution. People of Zimbabwe deserve a legitimate capable state. The change we demand! None but ourselves!”
This is just nonsense! MDC has had many golden opportunities to implement the democratic reforms necessary to stop Zanu PF rigging the elections. The party has failed to implement even one reform. Not one! To make matters worse, MDC has continued to participate in these flawed and illegal elections, ignoring the repeated advice not to, and giving Zanu PF legitimacy.
Is Chamisa suggesting MDC did not implementing reforms, etc. to end the Zanu PF dictatorship deliberately because the nation was waiting to reach this magic number – 40 years. Now the nation has reached the magic age we can finally enter our Promised Land – a healthy and functioning democratic Zimbabwe!
Except that Zimbabwe is still a pariah state, a Banana Republic, ruled by corrupt, incompetent, vote rigging and murderous thugs and not a democratic country. Chamisa, who envisages himself as the Biblical Joshua, has failed to lead the nation across the imaginary River Jordan! Indeed, the people of Zimbabwe will be very foolish to continue to follow this wandering Jew!
Chamisa and his MDC friends are corrupt, incompetent and sell-outs. The people of Zimbabwe have risked life and limb to elect these MDC leaders to implement the democratic reforms designed to stop Zanu PF rigging the elections. Instead of implementing the reforms the MDC leaders have sold-out big time and are now Zanu PF acolytes. They are running with the hare and hunting with the hounds.
The only way out of this economic and political mess is for Zimbabwe to find someone who will implement the democratic reforms since MDC have failed to do it.
As long as MDC continues to give Zanu PF political legitimacy by participating in flawed elections; Zanu PF thugs use this ill-gotten legitimacy to resist pressure for the regime to step down. The solution is to expose MDC leaders for what they are – corrupt, incompetent and sell-outs with no political credibility.
By failing to implement any reform in 20 years, participating in flawed elections and now by denying Chamisa’s unconstitutional succession was anything but MDC leaders have but stripped themselves of all political credibility. Zanu PF will now find the party cannot derive political legitimacy from a discredited opposition party. Zanu PF will be compelled to step down.
Nelson Chamisa and his corrupt, incompetent and sell-out MDC friends have no clue what the democratic reforms needed to dismantle the Zanu PF dictatorship are much less how they are to be implemented. It is therefore no surprise that they have failed to implement even one reform in 20 years. All these Zimbabweans out there who continue to follow and support MDC, no questions asked, must know in Chamisa they have the wandering Jew personified.
“Zimbabwean must protest to demand legitimate state!” But it was your participation in the flawed elections against repeated warning not to that gave vote rigging Zanu PF legitimacy!

ReplyDelete“For the MDC-Alliance, the challenge remains of attempting to dislodge an authoritarian regime through peaceful electoral means, combined with organised protests.
“This will be even more difficult in the context of the global pandemic that has deepened the repressive strain of the ruling party. Moreover Covid-19 has weakened the structural and organisational capacities of both the opposition and the social forces that support it.
“One positive message that the opposition can take away from the current environment is that the post-coup regime is simply unable to deal with the country's economic challenges, outside of providing a corrupt accumulation space for sections of the Mnangagwa cabal.”
Chamisa shot himself in the foot by behaving like a Zanu PF thug and seizing power after Tsvangirai's death. We all know that Zanu PF is nosing around looking for an opportunity to divide its political opponents and was not one to miss a free-gift like that. It has been said that Zanu PF was behind those who brought up the High Court challenge; it will not be a surprise.
By refusing to admit that he did wrong, Chamisa is making a bad situation even worse; he not only violated the party’s constitution and now he claiming to be above the law. He shot himself in the foot in February 2018 and now he is shooting himself in the head. All pretences of being a democrat are gone, he is just a Zanu PF thug in all but name. His name is mud!
There are those who still believe Chamisa and MDC have a role to play in shaping the destiny of the country; they are dreamers! MDC leaders are corrupt, incompetent and sell-outs with no political credibility worth a spit!
"Zimbabwean must protest to demand legitimate state!" But it was your participation in the flawed elections against repeated warning not to that gave vote rigging Zanu PF legitimacy!
ReplyDeleteYou are 100% there, it is MDC and the rest of the opposition camp’s participation in these flawed and illegal elections that is giving legitimacy to the illegal Zanu PF government. What is more, Chamisa and his colleagues know this is the case as David Coltart admitted in his book.
“The worst aspect for me about the failure to agree a coalition was that both MDCs couldn’t now do the obvious – withdraw from the elections,” confessed Coltart.
“The electoral process was so flawed, so illegal, that the only logical step was to withdraw, which would compel SADC to hold Zanu PF to account. But such was the distrust between the MDC-T and MDC-N that neither could withdraw for fear that the other would remain in the elections, winning seats and giving the process credibility.”
He must have agonized over admitting this because he has never ever admitted this ever again, so far as I know. Zimbabwe is being held hostage to the greed of the opposition and the ruling party, Zanu PF. The opposition know if the boycott the elections they will force Zanu PF to accept the need for implementing democratic reforms. They have refused to boycott the election out of greed.
Do not participate in flawed and illegal elections and you deny Zanu PF legitimacy! This is a simple historic fact and reality that MDC and the rest of the country’s opposition politicians know and have been reminded of countless times but have refused to hear. There is no one more deaf than he who does not want to hear. MDC leaders have airbrushed this historic fact out of their collective minds.
@ Jonathan Chando
ReplyDeleteThe MDC-Alliance legal team has produced mediocre performance in almost all the cases post-2018 elections, despite the leadership and aligned legal, political and media pundits singing endlessly about the "capture of the judiciary".
It is a sign of denial psychology and psychological deflection at play.
I would also question why they keep running to the courts, if the people are the sole determinant of state power. It is foolhardy to believe that only numbers are the important factor in politics, even when one is breaking the law. With or without numbers, there is the ethics adage that says, wrong is wrong even if everyone is doing it, and right is right even if no one is doing it. In this instance, the MDC-Alliance is wrong, with or without the numbers, and it is following a disastrous path.
The rhetoric that Chamisa has 2,6 million votes, to me appears far-fetched. Hillary Clinton garnered 65,8 million electoral votes while Donald Trump had 62,9 million, but because of the constitution, Trump is President of the United States.
If Chamisa had competent advisors then they should have told him to admit he had not following the party’s constitution as soon as the High Court judgement came out.
“I put up my hands and I admit I was wrong! I thought we had followed the MDC constitution but now I can see that we had not. I had behaved like a Zanu PF thug, I admit and apologise,” Nelson Chamisa should have said soon after the judgement.
“MDC will revert to the structure proposed by the Court and acting President Thokozani Khupe will announce the date of the extra-ordinary congress as instructed by the High Court. I urge all MDC members to accept the High Court judgement on this matter and my sincere apology in having caused the confusion in the first place.
“MDC has a lot of work to do and the sooner this leadership is resolved the sooner the party can get back to its principle task of fighting for a better Zimbabwe for us all.”
Chamisa would have taken the sting out of this whole sorry story. He shot himself in the foot by behaving like a Zanu PF thug knowing the “captured courts” will only be too pleased to uphold the law for a change.
By denying he did wrong he is now shooting himself in the head! Whatever political credibility Chamisa had left, given the MDC’s checked history of failure and selling out, has all but evaporated. His name is Mud!

Well I am glad to hear that YOU have seen and acknowledge that as a nation we have been naïve and gullible and thus easily conned by these corrupt and incompetent politicians like Mai Mujuru and her soapy Dotito puppies who take 34 years to open their eyes. But how many other Zimbabweans out there have seen the light?
In my humble opinion there are still hundreds of thousands of very naïve and gullible Zimbabweans out there who have swallowed Chibaya and his fellow MDC tricksters hook, line and sinker. As long as MDC sell-outs continue to have followers Zimbabwe will never get out of this hell-hole. Never!
You asking for a solution. Well the task of educating the Zimbabwe electorate out of the sloth-like slumber has only just begun. Without a shrewd and diligent electorate this country is going to continue to sink into the abyss!

Well this is getting interesting. I said you are either just another MDC buffoon who will follow blindly like sheep or a Zanu PF double agent pretending to be an MDC buffoon. Now you are accusing me of being a Zanu PF double agent. Well I can easily prove my innocence.
We all agree that by the people’s project we are talking of implementing the democratic reforms to stop Zanu PF rigging the elections and thus ensure free, fair and credible elections. The people of Zimbabwe have risked life and limb to elect MDC leaders into office on the understanding they would implement the reforms.
It has been 20 years now since MDC leaders got on the political stage, five of those years they were even in government or be it a GNU. It is a fact that MDC leaders have not implemented even one democratic reform in those 20 years. Not a sausage!
Of course, Zanu PF is very pleased that not a single reform has seem the light of day in the last 20 years and the party would want this to continue, If you were Mnangagwa would you employ a double agent and pay his a generous wage for complained that MDC leaders have sold-out the people by failing to implement the reforms?
Or would you employ a double agent to tell MDC leaders and their supporters they are doing a great job, knowing as we all do they will never get even one reform implemented?
QED!

“Wilbert Mukori Well with you it is clear now that you a fully blown Zanu bloody agent foolishly talking of reforms in a country where they is no law. You look well fed in but your heard is just empty baba that is why you even write loooooooong things to try and say a simple point nxaaaaaaa. You never confuse the pple ' s project. You are just a useless skelem.”
One of the things I positively enjoy doing is engaging you Zanu PF double agents and expose you for what you really are – buffoons.
“You a fully blown Zanu bloody agent foolishly talking of reforms in a country where there is no law”, you said above. So, you do agree that this no law and no rule of law. Would you also agree that in a country with no law and no rule of law there is necessarily need for reform? Only a buffoon would say otherwise!
I am smart enough to realise that after 20 years of the people risking life and limb to elect MDC leaders into power on the promise they would bring about the democratic changes the nation has been dying for; they have failed to do so. They had the golden opportunity to do so during the 2008 to 2013 GNU but did nothing because they had their snouts in the feeding trough.
“Mazivanhu eMDC adzidza kudya anyerere!” Zanu PF thugs boasted openly during the GNU when asked why MDC leaders were not implementing reforms.
So I not only talking about the need to implement the reforms to end the lawlessness and Zanu PF dictatorship I am identifying the reasons why the reforms that should have been implemented years ago by now have not seen the light of day. Better still I am naming the corrupt, incompetent and sell-outs holding up the implementation of the reforms!
Of course, MDC leaders and their wildebeest supporters with the heads stuck in their leaders’ backside do not like to hear party leaders exposed for the sell-outs they are. Zanu PF double agents too are hopping mad over the expose but for a for subtle and selfish reason – they are paid to keep the opposition on a wild-goose chase and the expose is derailing that!
My mission is to make sure the reforms are implemented and there is rule of law, the next elections are free, fair and credible and Zimbabwe is a healthy and functional democracy. I will not be detracted much less derailed by a nincompoop calling me “fully blown Zanu bloody agent, skelem, etc.” Of course, not! Indeed nothing annoys the scumbag more that the growing reality that many people are seeing MDC leaders for what they really are and they are losing political credibility fast!

I totally agree that Zanu PF destroyed Zimbabwe but I do not agree that MDC played no part in this, they did. MDC leaders had the golden opportunity to implement the democratic reforms which would have stopped Zanu PF rigging the elections. They had the golden opportunity to implement the reforms during the 2008 GNU, they failed to get even one reform implemented.
You are saying I am lying then please name one reform MDC has implemented in the five years of the GNU.
Even if I am wrong, it is nonsense to talk of someone “destroying the country” because they dared express an opinion much less a fact. It is you who will destroy the nation by stifling open debate and freedom of expression.
You come on this site foaming round the mouth about your hatred of Zanu PF and yet by stifling open debate you are trying to replicate everything Zanu PF does or be it in the name of MDC.

MDC have already proven beyond all reasonable doubt that they are corrupt, incompetent and, worst of sell-outs. There is no coming back from any of these red-card faults! The very fact there are many Zimbabweans out there who still believe MDC can deliver the democratic changes regardless of their serious faults shows we still have naïve and gullible voters.
We can bury our head in the sand and pretend MDC will delivery change ignoring the overwhelming evidence that MDC leaders are now running with the hare and hunting with the hounds. If we are serious about wanting democratic change then we must stop being naïve.
Do I have any specific advice to pass on to MDC leaders? It would have to be for them to stop taking advantage of the people just as Zanu PF thugs are holding the nation to ransom.
@ Colin Hinze
ReplyDelete“Wilbert Mukori thanks but what's the way forward for our children.”
The way forward is; learn from your past mistakes and if you do your future and that of posterity is guaranteed to be a lot better than your yesteryears!
Here are two lessons we all should learn from the MDC story:
1) To move forward we need to implement the democratic reforms necessary to dismantle the Zanu PF dictatorship. The State President must not have the exclusive power to hire and fire Judges, Police, ZEC, etc. if these institutions are to be independent and provide the check and balance need in a democracy. Our mistake was to repeat “Change! Chinja” slogan without asking what it is we want to change.
2) If we want quality leaders then we must stop being naïve and gullible. The very fact that 20 years after MDC leaders have been in power and they have not implemented even one reform and yet many continue to follow them like sheep to the slaughter, speaks volumes of us!
“Behold, I send you like sheep among wolves. Be as shrewd as a snake and as gentle as a dove!” said Jesus. Zimbabweans have decidedly remained ignorant, naïve and gullible! If we want a free, just and prosperous Zimbabwe then we must earn it, so far we have done nothing to earn anything other than what we have – a pariah state ruled by murderous Zanu PF thugs complete with their entourage of corrupt and utterly use opposition parties, all 130 of them at the last count!

“Wilbert Mukori if MDC supporters are dreaming then you must be hallucinating. How can MDC be part of this economic mess of unfathomable proportions when they are not ruling. A goalkeeper between the posts cannot blame his failure on the substitute goalkeeper on the bench........ A substitute that is never allowed to play for that matter.........”
The people of Zimbabwe have risked life and limb to elect MDC leaders into power on the understanding they will implement the democratic changes the nation has been dying for. MDC leaders had the golden opportunity to implement the reforms during the 2008 to 2013 GNU the failed to get even one reform implemented. Not one!
Why? Because Mugabe bribed them with the trappings of high office, the ministerial limos, generous salary and allowances, a US$4 million mansion for Tsvangirai, etc. And in return MDC leaders forgot all about the reforms. You do not want to admit this but that is your business. It is a historic fact!
MDC are utterly useless then what have they been doing all these last 20 years. They have been insisted in contesting flawed and illegal elections knowing Zanu PF will rig them for the sake of the bait seats Zanu PF was giving away. MDC has been running with the hare and hunting with the hounds! Enough is enough!
"Let us prepare for the new independence as we claim back all that was stolen and demand a people's government through citizens' peaceful protests as provided in section 59 of the constitution. People of Zimbabwe deserve a legitimate capable state," Chamisa said.
ReplyDelete"We are at a tipping point of explosion. On the back of poor policies, we see the total demise of the Zimbabwean dollar and full dollarisation which has seen government ditching its own currency."
Yesterday, the party's deputy national chairman Job Sikhala said Mnangagwa was facing an imminent end to his reign and must resign forthwith.
Sikhala said he would not allow the opposition party to be continuously treated like an illegal movement. "Of recent past i discovered a dangerous path. You want to take our country to a bloodbath by your desperate attempt to take our country down the warpath," Sikhala said.
There is no denying that the country is in serious economic and social trouble. Indeed, given the added challenges brought on by the corona virus and the blundering incompetence of the Zanu PF regime compounded by the useless opposition that has taken its eyes off the ball, it is no exaggeration to say the country is facing its greatest challenge of our generation.
Chamisa is losing the turf war to his rivals and so is turning to the people to help him out. If MDC had implemented the democratic reforms Zanu PF would not still be in power today. It was Chamisa himself who insisted in participating in the July 2018 elections with no reforms in place.
“MDC has stringent measures to stop Zanu PF rigging the elections,” boasted Chamisa. The idiot did not even have the common sense to demand a verified voters’ roll, itself a legal requirement.
After 20 years of being led on a wild goose chase by MDC sell-outs the people of Zimbabwe must wake-up to the reality that Chamisa and company are not going to implement the reforms necessary to end the Zanu PF dictatorship. Never! The dog-eat-dog in fighting within the MDC is a good thing for Zimbabwe in that it is helping to clear the political deck. Saving Chamisa and his sell-outs colleagues is the last thing Zimbabweans should do.
@ Knowledge Hakata
ReplyDeleteED won't solve the current problems, either removing Zanu-PF as well, but the whole system needs to be removed, that's why when Mugabe was removed the same problems continued, laying it clearly that all these problems in Zimbabwe are as a result of an oppressive political system that seeks to keep certain individuals in power while they continue looting instead of developing the country. Hence that's why I am saying Zimbabweans must not be used by the Army to remove Mnangagwa, rather Zimbabweans should remove the whole system which includes top military bosses.
The System has managed to destroy the genuine opposition in Zimbabwe and what we are witnessing in Zimbabwe at the moment is just an extension of the System purporting to be the opposition in Zimbabwe. In short Opposition politics is now dead so I am not going to waste my energy discussing what is happening in MDC issues. The opposition had a chance to dismantle the system in 2008 and during the GNU but it failed to capture state power, they had another chance in 2017 and in 2018 but it failed again.
Zimbabwe's opposition parties have been compromised and infiltrated a lot, so if Zimbabweans are still hoping that Nelson Chamisa and his group of psychopaths are going to rescue them please keep on dreaming. MDC is now buried at Zanu-PF Headquarters. So in a nutshell they is no opposition party that is going to rise up and dismantle the System, its time has expired and MDC IS NOW HISTORY.
The only hope left in Zimbabwe is for the masses to remove the System, this has happened in Ivory Coast, Burkina Faso, the Arab Spring and recently in Sudan. They are no miracles that are going to happen for this system to be removed from power except if the people can learn from what happened in the above mentioned countries.
I totally agree with you. If we are serious about bring about lasting democratic change in Zimbabwe then we should aim at dismantling the dictatorship and not just removing the dictator plus a few others around him. The dictatorship here includes Zanu PF, the corrupted and compromised institutions it created including the opposition parties.
It is shocking that anyone with half a brain would still fail to see that MDC has been corrupted and compromised. What else would explain why Tsvangirai and company failed to implement even one reforms in their 20 years on the political stage.
Right now Chamisa and his fellow silverbacks are posturing and agitating for public protest against the worsening economic situation. They are losing the turf-war to Khupe and want to use the people to rescue them by wrapping their factional war with the economic crisis. There would be no economic crisis if they had not sold-out and implemented the reforms. And, worst of all, MDC will never implement the reforms even if the people rescued them! It is naive to believe MDC will implement the reforms when they failed to do so when they failed when they had the golden opportunity to do so!
@ Simbarashe Samhere
ReplyDelete“Mukori which party will we follow then according to u?”
That is a very good question. The simple answer to that is there is no one.
What you have to understand is that Zimbabwe’s political system has become so dangerous that men and women of quality have stayed out leaving the space for the hasslers, ruffians and thugs. People like Mugabe who had no qualms murdering 20 000 to create the political space to impose his one-party dictatorship. Mnangagwa who stage a military coup and 8 months later blatantly rigs the elections but swears the elections were free and fair.
Dimwits like Morgan Tsvangirai and his MDC friends who get the golden chance to implement the reforms designed to stop their political opponent cheating and they fail to implement even one token reform in five years.
Zimbabwe’s political system is so oppressive it can best be compared to a sewage pond whose water is more shit than water. The water is so contaminated and devoid of oxygen there is very little life other than the swarms of flies and sewage rats. To ask whom the people should vote for in Zimbabwe is like fishing in a sewage pond – there is no fish!
If we have serious about wanting a better Zimbabwe then we must first implement the democratic reforms to ensure there is freedom of expression open debate and democratic competition of ideas; quality leaders will emerge. Drain the sewage pond and fill it up with clean oxygenated water fish will retain and thrive.
The principle task Tsvangirai and his MDC friends were tasked to do during the 2008 GNU, above everything else, was to implement the reforms, to drain the sewage pond. As we know they failed to implement even one reform. Nothing of any substance can ever be accomplished until we implement the reforms. Nothing.
There was significant economic recovery in the first years of the GNU but that slowed down and fizzled out when it was clear there was not going to be meaningful political reforms. The Zimbabwe Stock Exchange fall 35% when it was clear Zanu PF had rigged the 2013 elections confirming there had been no meaningful political changes during the GNU.

Most Zimbabweans don't even want to touch the bond because they hate and distrust the junta printing it. A Chamisa-led govt stands the best chance to restore confidence in our currency. It's naive to think that just because he has been evicted from Harvest Hse and has lost some MPs he is therefore politically doomed. There is a big difference between losing a battle and losing a war, and Chamisa's political career is far from over.”
I have just told you that none of the crop of politicians will drag Zimbabwe out of the political and economic mess it is in. Chamisa has already proven to be corrupt and incompetent – his track record speaks volumes.
Chamisa’s political career may not be over but not because he is any good but only because the Zimbabwe electorate is naïve and gullible. Zimbabwe is in this mess because Zimbabweans are a naïve lot and that is not going to change overnight!

I just figure you are too embarrassed to make your preferred choice public, that's why you won't name anybody, because you know I will absolutely tear him/her apart. I call that journalistic cowardice.”
According to you Nelson Chamisa “is not perfect” but of all the current politicians he is the best to be president. My question to you is who is to decide that? How is he going to get his mandate to govern?
The normal channel is for the people to decide in a free, fair and credible election. I do not need to remind you that in Zimbabwe there are no free, fair and credible elections. We are in this political mess precisely because Zanu PF has blatantly rigged the elections for the last 40 years.
Your champion, Chamisa, has played his part in creating this mess by failing to implement the democratic reforms when he had the golden opportunity to do so during the GNU. And as since, he has given legitimacy to the vote rigging Zanu PF by participating in flawed elections.
I do not need to remind you that with no reforms Zanu PF will rig the 2023 elections. Of course, Chamisa and company will participate for the sake of the few gravy-train seats Zanu PF will give away.
So, I ask you again; how are you ever going to get Chamisa into state house?
The answer is to accept that our corrupt political system is incapable of producing a legitimate government, which is exactly what happened in 2008. SADC stepped in and proposed the formation of the GNU. The country’s constitution was amended to give the GNU the legal mandate.
The 2018 elections also failed to produce a legitimate government because Zanu PF blatantly rigged the elections. We need another GNU. The subtle difference with the new GNU is that Zanu PF is to play no part in it to be absolutely certain the reforms are implemented.
It is clear that you do not care about reforms and ending the current dysfunctional political system. All you and Chamisa want is that Chamisa must be appointed president by hook or by crook. Your position is no different from that of Mnangagwa and Zanu PF or be it each side believes they are the real deal.
In short, both MDC and Zanu PF will never dismantle the present dysfunctional political system. They clearly lack the vision. The people of Zimbabwe must focus on implementing the reforms and get a healthy and functioning democratic political system. They must not allow those with no vision to continue to hold the nation hostage, stuck with a political system we know already is dysfunctional.

Chamisa was a HardTalk guest just before the 2018 elections and the BBC reporter asked Chamisa about the messy succession following Tsvangirai’s death. Chamisa’s excuse was that he had done everything quickly without even giving the other two VPs a chance to throw their names into the hat because “nature hates a vacuum”! Of course, Stephen Sucker was too smart to take that nonsense and left Chamisa in no doubt that it was nonsense!

If you accept the current system will never produce quality leaders then you should focus on changing the system.
To accept that the system is wrong but I will plough on regardless and elected the best candidate from the corrupt and incompetent lot I have is self-defeating because the mediocre leaders will never perform well and they will not change the system because they would not want the competition.
