The primary purpose of the 2008 to
2013 GNU was to implement the democratic reforms designed to stop Zanu PF
rigging elections and repeat the blatant rigging of the 2008 elections. Not
even one reform was implemented and neither Zanu PF nor MDC, the partners in
the GNU, have ever bother to explain why this golden opportunity was wasted.
In 2013 SADC leaders advised Morgan
Tsvangirai and his fellow MDC leaders not to participate in the election
without first implementing the reforms because Zanu PF was set to rig those
elections. As we all know MDC leaders paid no heed and participated and, as
predicted, Zanu PF blatantly rigged those elections.
Tsvangirai and company were up in
arms complaining that Zanu PF rigged the elections. The whole world ignored the
MDC leaders’ complains since they are the ones who had ignored the warning the
elections will be rigged.
It must be said here that by
participating MDC gave the vote rigging Zanu PF legitimacy.
Chamisa asked the nation to participate
in the 2018 elections, again with no reforms in place because “MDC A has
stringent measures to stop Zanu PF rigging the elections,” he argued.
Whatever those “stringent measures”
were they clearly did not work because Zanu PF blatantly rigged the 2018
elections and, once again by participating the nation gave Zanu PF legitimacy. Chamisa
and company complained of Zanu PF stealing the elections, conveniently forgetting
that they are the ones who had insisted on participating with no reforms in
place.
Right now, Chamisa and company are
gearing to participate in the 2023 elections; there is not even one meaningful
reform implemented and therefore Zanu PF is set to blatantly rig those
elections. When Chamisa was pressure to justify why the 2023 elections will not
be rigged just as happened in the 2013 and 2018 elections. Instead of offering “stringent
measures to stop Zanu PF rigging elections” Chamisa is now offering “a SOLID
PLAN (Chamisa’s emphasis, not mine) to deliver meaningful change in 2023
elections!”
Many Zimbabweans have expressed their
concern that Zimbabwe’s heed SADC leaders’ June 2013 advice and postpone
elections until democratic reforms to guarantee free, fair and credible
elections are implemented. And the nation has been waiting for Nelson Chamisa and
his MDC A friends to give more details of the solid plan and solid assurance
this is not going to be a repeat of the 2013 and 2018 rigged elections.
“This great man was just more than a
leader and father to many. To me, Dr MT was a great companion and confidant. I
miss his naughty smile and our happy moments. WANGU go and register to vote!
Happy Saturday.” Was the latest Tweet from Nelson Chamisa.
He has completely ignored the many
voices asking for solid assurance Zimbabwe is not being dragged into yet
another flawed and illegal elections to try out the opposition’s kaleidoscopic
Win In Rigged Elections (WIRE for short) strategies. He is hammering in his flagship
WIRE strategy of registering to vote on mass and then, when the time comes,
voting on mass.
Mass voting has clearly not worked in
the past for many reasons, and it is naïve to expect things to be any
different. In any case, Zanu PF has just announced that the party would once
again deny the 3 million plus Zimbabweans in the diaspora the vote; although it
was none other than President Mnangagwa himself who had promised in September
2018 that this quirk would be put right.
Zimbabwe is in a serious economic
mess with the economy in total meltdown, unemployment an nauseating 90% plus,
basic services such as education and health care have all but collapsed and 49%
of our people now live in abject poverty. The root cause of the economic mess
is the failure to hold free, fair and credible elections; the nation has been
stuck with this corrupt, incompetent and tyrannical Zanu PF dictatorship for 41
years. Zanu PF has rigged elections since the country attained her independence
in 1980.
The human suffering from the economic
meltdown is simply intolerable and unsustainable socially and politically. To
address the causes of economic meltdown we must first cure ourselves of the
curse of bad governance resulting from the rigged elections.
It is infuriating that the nation had
the golden opportunity to implement the raft of democratic reforms designed to
end the chronic vote rigging during the 2008 to 2013 GNU and the opportunity
was wasted. Worse still, since 2013 the nation has been participating in flawed
elections giving the vote rigging Zanu PF legitimacy whilst trying out MDC’s
many mystical WIRE strategies.
The pressing need to address Zimbabwe’s
economic meltdown and the tragic human suffering it has brought means the
country cannot afford yet another rigged 2023 elections. The nation has two
choices:
1) The nation must demand proof Chamisa’s “SOLID PLAN”
will indeed deliver the promised “real change” (and that this real change is
nothing short of regime change). The only sure way to deliver regime change is
by stopping Zanu PF rigging elections; it is hard to see how Chamisa’s plan can
achieve this given there is only two years to go before 2023 elections. It is
almost certain the so-called “solid plan” is just a jumble of tried and failed MDC
WIRE strategies. The nation must not participate in these elections, including
taking part in the ongoing voter registration, on the basis of another “mumbo
jumbo” Chamisa plan, as Tsitsi Dangarembga. We must not repeat the mistake of
participating and thus give the vote rigging Zanu PF legitimacy ever again.
2) The nation must go ahead and make its second
choice, demand the implementing of the democratic reforms before elections; SADC
leaders proposed this back in June 2013 and both Zanu PF and MDC paid no heed,
it was the right decision back then and is even more so now.
Zimbabwe’s economic meltdown is a
man-made crisis; a consequence of 41 years of gross mismanagement, rampant corruption
and rank lawlessness earning the nation the pariah state status. All the nation
must do to end its pariah state status is implement a raft of democratic
reforms designed to restore the individual freedoms and rights including the
right to free, fair and credible elections. The nation has had many
opportunities to implement the reforms and wasted them all. The 2023 elections are
a chance to get the reforms finally implemented and there must be no slip-up
this time!
Chamisa must give a convincing explanation of how his solid plan is going to stop Zanu PF rigging 2023 elections as happened before. The last thing the nation wants is to participate in the elections and give the vote rigging Zanu PF legitimacy as happened in 2013 and 2018.
ReplyDeleteSADC leaders were right to advise Zanu PF and MDC to postpone 2013 elections until reforms were implemented. It is insane to keep repeating the same foolish mistake of giving Zanu PF legitimacy!
Zanu PF has made politics a dirty game and it is no surprise that many good people have shied away from politics and the opportunists and adventurers have stepped in to fill the void making politics a heaven for corrupt, incompetent and otherwise braindead village idiots. Zimbabwe politics is like a dam whose once upon a time clean waters was home to quality fish but that is all gone now because of decades of siltation and pollution the dam is now a sewage pond. Only the eels, catfish, frogs and crocodiles thrive here!
ReplyDeleteZimbabweans have risked life and limb to elect Morgan Tsvangirai and his MDC friends on the promise the party would implement the democratic reforms, drain the sewage pond, and bring back the clean politics of free, fair and credible elections. MDC leaders have failed to implement even one reform when they had the golden opportunity to do so during the 2008 to 2013 GNU because they found the sewage pond environment much to their liking.
Mugabe must have realised even before he signed the 2008 Global Political Agreement sponsored by SADC agreeing to the implementation of the reforms that he could bribe MDC leaders to forget implementing the reforms. And ever since the GNU debacle, Zanu PF has bribed MDC leaders with a few gravy train seats to participate in the flawed elections and thus give Zanu PF legitimacy.
Of course, Chamisa has no plan to stop Zanu PF rigging the 2023 elections, his solid plan is all mumbo jumbo. As far as Chamisa is concerned he is fighting to win as many gravy train seats as he and his MDC A can.
MDC A will never ever implement the democratic reforms, drain the sewage pond, and deliver free, fair and credible elections; they should have done it during the GNU when they had the golden opportunity to do so. Zimbabweans must know that by participating in these elections they are playing their part in giving the vote rigging Zanu PF legitimacy; period!
@ Arthur Dobbs
ReplyDelete“What can we do to get rid of ZANU PF and rigging system?”
SADC leaders answered that very question by forcing Robert Mugabe to sign on to the 2008 Global Political Agreement and the implementation of a raft of political reforms designed to stop Zanu PF rigging elections.
When it was clear that not even one reform was implemented in the five years of the GNU, SADC leaders proposed that the 2013 elections must be postponed until reforms are implemented. Postponing elections until reforms are implemented is still the only viable solution on the table and we will be very foolish indeed not to take it again in pursuit of Chamisa’s mumbo jumbo plan!
The people of Zimbabwe have risked life and limb to elect MDC leaders into power in the hope that, once in power, they would effect the necessary democratic changes to restore the people's freedoms and rights Zanu PF was denying them. The people send the wrong messenger; "Kutuma bete kumukaka!" (Send the cockroach to fetch milk!) as one would say in Shona.

ReplyDelete“If Zambian youths did it so can Zimbabwean youths, they went in their numbers to vote for change and reshape the future of their beloved country in the recently ended Presidential elections. Opposition leader, Hakainde Hichilema the incoming president won with more than a million votes, defeating outgoing Edgar Lungu.
The young people of Zimbabwe can see to the change they want in the next coming election.”
This is the kind of mentality typical of those who love to bury their heads in the sand and will see only what they want to see.
Morgan Tsvangirai garnered a staggering 73% of the votes in the March 2008, according to Robert Mugabe’s Freudian slip. Mnangagwa ordered ZEC not to announce the result and what followed was six weeks of cooking up the 5 million vote count to whittle down Tsvangirai’s 73% to 47%, enough to force a run-off. The run-off was all about Zanu PF punishing the electorate to make sure they will never ever dare to repeat the folly of rejecting Zanu PF. Mugabe overturned the 27% in the March vote into an 84% in the June run-off.
SADC leaders rejected Mugabe and Zanu PF’s rigged 2008 elections and forced the party to agree to the implementation of a raft of democratic reforms to ensure free, fair and credible elections and stop the repeat of the blatant cheating and wanton violence of 2008.
Sadly, Morgan Tsvangirai and his MDC friends who were entrusted the task of implementing the reforms took their eyes off the ball; they failed to get even one reform implemented. Instead of acknowledging they sold-out by failing to implement reforms MDC leaders have chosen to make the situation worse by convincing their naïve and gullible followers the nation did not need to implement reforms because the party can win rigged elections.
MDC A leader, Nelson Chamisa will win the 2023 elections if “Zimbabwe’s youths went in their numbers to vote for change!” Since Zanu PF was able to deny Tsvangirai victory with 73% of the vote, Chamisa will have to garner a lot more than 73% to win!
As it turns out, Zanu PF rigging is already underway; the party has reneged on Mnangagwa’s September 2018 promise to let 3 million plus Zimbabwean in the diaspora the vote.
A more rational electorate would accept if winning 73% of the votes is not good enough to win the election then the electoral system must be seriously flawed and illegal and must be reformed before elections can go ahead. Sadly, the MDC leaders and their naïve, gullible and myopic supporters refuse to accept the needs for reforms even after 41 years of rigged elections.
The challenge before this nation is to make sure that the sell-out MDC leaders and their foolish supporters do not have the final say, their participation does not translate into political legitimacy for the vote rigging Zanu PF!
The people of Zimbabwe will be doing themselves and the nation a great favour in demanding proof that Chamisa's solid plan will indeed finally deliver meaningful democratic change in the form of a government with the people's democratic mandate to govern. The people can demand the proof but they will never get it because there is no such plan.
ReplyDeleteIt was the 2004 to 2007 USA Ambassador to Zimbabwe, Chris Dell, who said in a leaked cable to Washington that Morgan Tsvangirai "was a flawed and indecisive character who will become an albatross round the nation's neck if he was ever to get into power!" Events have proven Dell right, Tsvangirai did get into power in the 2008 to 2013 GNU and what a disaster for the nation.
Indeed, Tsvangirai and his MDC friends were so corrupt and incompetent they failed to implement even one token reforms in the five years of the GNU; not even Dell would have believed MDC leaders could be that incompetent and corrupt.
Whilst it took a few meetings with Tsvangirai for Dell to come to the conclusion the man was a waste of space; it is tragic that, even now with the benefit of hindsight there are some people who still fail to see MDC leaders for what they are corrupt, incompetent and utterly useless. Worst of all, this naive and gullible individuals have the vote!
Zimbabwe is in this economic and political mess largely because of the country's failure to hold free, fair and credible elections. SADC leaders draw a road-map to get the nation out of the mess and gave it to MDC leaders but it was casting pearls before a swine! The people themselves have failed to understand what the 2008 GNU was all about and so there have not been much use in pushing for the implementation of the democratic reforms and thus follow the SADC leaders' road-map.
Chamisa's solid plan is just a feeble excuse to justify why MDC has failed to implement even one reform and keep participating in the flawed elections to give Zanu PF legitimacy! Chamisa is getting away with the mumbo jumbo plan because the people whose very lives are at stake very no clue it is their lives Chamisa is selling cheap!

“Chamisa's MDC-Alliance mistakes Zanu-PF with men and women from Ruwadzano who stage religious competitions and graciously win or lose in God's name. I will repeat, Chamisa underestimates Zanu-PF. We expect from him to fight a monster, taking it by its horns: it has not dawned on him yet. Mnangagwa together with Charamba have spoken gloatingly that what happened in Zambian election win there is no such a repeat in Zimbabwe. What other message does Nelson Chamisa want to hear? Does Chamisa think he will win 2023 elections in Zimbabwe the same style President-elect Hichilema won a land-slide victory against PF party of Edgar Lungu? That will not happen in Zimbabwe even if we wanted.
If Chamisa continues to tell his electorate to go for vote registration in the hope of sweeping elections in 2023, then he should indeed wake up and brews beer to appease the ancestors for a terribly wrong dream. How many people, how many articles have been written alluding to the grand mistake of putting Zambian and Zimbabwean historicises at the same page or paralleled to political developments. Zambian and Zimbabwean societies are worlds apart. In the case of Zambia, it has no tribal element, unlike Zimbabwe, that determines who should be the President. Again, in Zambia there has been fundamental changes of governments since 1964. Zambia demonstrated to SADC that its army and the electoral institution are independent from the executive arm of the government: proudly exhibited and executed to the envy of many countries in Africa and beyond.”

The political challenge of my father’s generation, the generation who were born and lived during white colonial rule was to end white colonial oppression and exploitation.
The political challenge since the country’s independence in 1980 has been to fight against the Zanu PF onslaught to turn the nations democratic institutions into party departments in all but name and onslaught on the individual to denying them their freedoms and rights for the sole purpose of creating a de facto one-party, Zanu PF, dictatorship.
The people have risked life and limb to elect Morgan Tsvangirai and his MDC friends into power on the understanding that once in power the party will bring about the democratic changes the nation was dying for to end the Zanu PF dictatorship including the regime’s carte blanche powers to rig elections. MDC has been on the national political stage for the last 21 years, 5 of which in the 2008 to 2013 GNU and, sadly, has failed to bring about even one meaningful democratic change. Not even one!
Yes, Zanu PF must shoulder the responsible of dragging the nation into this economic and political mess but the opposition, especially MDC leaders, are to blame for failing to get the nation out of the mess when the country had the opportunity to do so.
It is not as if we don’t have a plan for ending the Zanu PF dictatorship; we do. The SADC sponsored 2008 Global Political Agreement is all about the country implementing a raft of democratic reforms designed to take away Zanu PF’s dictatorial powers and Morgan Tsvangirai and his MDC friends were the GNU partners who should have proposed and implemented the reforms. I totally agree with you that we need to appoint competent men and women who will implement the reforms before it is too late.
“It is not that we do not have the people who can lead us to freedom: We have failed to identify leadership hopefuls in our midst. The dismissed NTA is slowly getting traction; it is to be the alternative to chaos that is looming in the air. Indeed the people will rise against the government of Mnangagwa. If he does not come to terms with this reality, then Mnangagwa must wake up from his slumber and brew a 7-day beer: (vaMnangagwa, mukai mubike doro because hondo yekupedzisira iri pama doorsteps enyu) The situation is unbearable; it is ripe for a revolution. The people shall not wait until they get a strong opposition leader who can assist in leading the way to victory. The people shall take over what belongs to them by right,” you rightly said.
The economic situation in Zimbabwe is desperate and desperate people do desperate things.
Chamisa’s solid plan is to participate in the flawed 2023 elections and give vote rigging Zanu PF legitimacy and for his troubles win a few of the gravy train seats Zanu PF gives away as bait. He has no plan B!
The solution to the political challenge of our generation, how to end the curse of rigged elections and bad governance, has been staring us in the face for decade – postpone elections until you implement the democratic reforms. One of things that has held us back is our reluctance to admit to ourselves that the MDC leaders, the men and women we had entrusted the job to deliver the changes, were corrupt and incompetent and not up to the task.
We will only have ourselves to blame if we allow the clueless Chamisa drag us all into yet another meaningless election only to give vote rigging Zanu PF legitimacy. We have two years to hammer some sense into MDC herd on the sheer futility of participating in a flawed and illegal election process. We must hammer the message home even if that means burning the midnight oil 24/7; the prospect of foolishly handing Zanu PF legitimacy in a silver platter again is simply unthinkable.

ReplyDelete“After the usual protocol preliminaries, Hopewell went straight into his narrative: Zimbabwe was in the middle of a vicious propaganda assault from the West, led by the US Mission here, and combining all western embassies. This attack involves minimum facts and maximum fiction by way of false victims who are currently housed in some safe house in Hatfield and another one in Waterfalls. At the heart of this whole propaganda assault is one Dr Lovemore, and her Counselling Services Unit!!!
She calls herself a clinical psychologist and is well-funded by the US Govt through USAID. Even Nordic countries weigh in, both as direct funders or as conduits for the Brits and Americans. I weighed in, and gave the meeting all I knew about Dr Lovemore and her parentage as a scion of one of the leading pioneer families who came soon after occupation of Zimbabwe. She would have an axe to grind, I intoned! Hopewell was anxious to validate his credentials as an honest man that he had been projected by the Congolese as. To do that, he made an extraordinary offer and gesture to the Vice President: This is Dr Lovemore's cellphone number; call her now and invite her to this meeting so I can repeat my charge in her presence. Vice President, every inch a security man, called the bluff. I was sent to call Dr Lovemore, which I did. She responded. After pleasantries, I then dropped I shocker: Please hold on for Vice President Chiwenga! The poor lady was an audible nervous wreck!!!! Who? Vice President Chiwenga, I emphatically repeated. I knew she could afford to break the call. I took the call to the Vice President who wasted no time in inviting the wreck to a meeting right away. No, she wouldn't come for fear of her life!!! Dr Lovemore, I have a meeting with a group of western ambassadors this afternoon, led by British Ambassador. If you have any security fears, I suggest you come together with them. Govt is facing very serious charges of abductions and torture; we would appreciate if you can share with us the evidence you have so the Police can move in to investigate. We are even prepared to make sure all interviews with victims are done in the presence of ambassadors!!!
Dr Lovemore initially agreed to present herself alongside the envoys. Later she thought otherwise and never reported for the meeting or any other. But our investigations took an added swing and in no time, we were on top on the matter, thanks to our good friend Hopewell!!!
My fingers are numb for the day. I will do Part Two on how we eventually lost Hopewell, our man in many places and spaces!!!
Good evening, my diligent readers!!!”
The real tragedy of Zimbabwe’s dysfunctional Zanu PF autocracy is that the country has had many opportunities to implement the democratic reforms and end the corruption and tyranny, sadly the opportunities have been wasted. The best opportunities to end the Zanu PF dictatorship were, without doubt during the 2008 to 2013 GNU and Morgan Tsvangirai and his MDC village idiots failed to implement even one reform in five years.
So the nation has paid dearly for the many wasted opportunities to end the Zanu PF dictatorship by having 41 years and counting of the corrupt and tyrannical regime and having to endure the regime’s buffoons gloating over the mastery over us all!
“Simbi inorohwa ichapisa!” (Must hammer the metal whilst it is still hot!)
Charamba is rubbing our noses into our folly for having failed to produce quality opposition leaders. We must deal with this serious shortcoming because there will always be more opportunities to end the Zanu PF dictatorship and we must be careful we do not waste the opportunity this time!
@ Ruhanya
ReplyDeleteOne of the many faults of the opposition is their naivety and foolishness. The MDC A will not accept that Zanu PF has perfected the art of rigging elections and taken it to nauseating heights. Zanu PF overhauled Tsvangirai's 73% vote in March 2008 turning it into a 47%, just enough to justify a run-off.
The party has stubbornly ignored everyone who has argued that the nation must implement the democratic reforms before elections. We are being asked to believe that the party can mobilise youth vote to win rigged elections, even one where Zanu PF can overhaul a 73% win! Of course, it is both foolish and naive to set election victory targets where 73% is not good enough!
"As a matter of fact Zanu-PF has been unsettled and has sleepless nights and is working 24/7 in light of Zambia, Malawi electoral outcomes and the general winds of change in the region. We have a responsibility to publicly chide on record the opposition to be on the pedal," said political analyst Pedzisayi Ruhanya.
Zambia August 2021 Zimbabwe March 2008
Hakainde Hichilema Edgar Lungu Robert Mugabe Morgan Tsvangirai
Party UPND PF Zanu PF MDC- T

Percentage 59.02% 38.71% After 6 wk recount 45% 47% (<50%)
Violent run-off 84% withdraw
So, if Edgar Lungu had the same dictatorial powers enjoyed by Zanu PF leaders in Zimbabwe, Lungu would have won the Zambian elections with a landslide victory!
It is foolish and naïve to accept a situation in which polling 73% of the vote is not good enough to win the elections! Why Zimbabweans accept such an outrage beggars belief!

That they must not listen to lies that if they vote for the opposition they will be all killed and that will never happen bcoz once zanu losses it become useless with no power while the opposition will become the ruling party that will make sure no one attacks them. Young pple in rural areas and urban areas do not vote for zanu in 2023 vote fir mdc alliance.”
The old people in the rural areas voted for Morgan Tsvangirai in the March 2008 vote and he garnered 73% of the vote. Zanu PF set in and stopped ZEC announcing the result and during the run-off the ordinary people, especially in the rural areas were punished for having rejected Zanu PF in the March 2008 vote. In your eagerness to justify why MDC A has failed to implement the democratic reforms to stop the blatant cheating and wanton violence you are now creating a false narrative of historic facts.
Ordinary Zimbabweans have been harassed, beaten, raped and many murdered in cold blood by Zanu PF thugs for political gain. Please respect the many victims of political violence and historic facts!

ReplyDeleteYou are easy to trick, “facilius fallere", and so you believe the flawed elections are Zanu PF vs MDC A which is exactly what Mnangagwa would want you, a simpleton to believe. The real choice: indeed the only choice: is to participate and give vote rigging Zanu PF legitimacy, Mnangagwa knows that he will never ever lose an election in which Zanu PF has carte blanche powers to rig the process. Or to use common sense and demand the implementation of the reforms to guarantee free, fair and credible elections BEFORE elections. It is insane to keep participating in flawed elections and cry foul afterwards when it was clear all along Zanu PF will rig the elections.
The people of Zimbabwe deserve free, fair and credible elections and it will be unforgivable to let the nation be cheated again after 41 years of rigged elections all because MDC A leaders and supporters alike are simpletons easily tricked, again and again and again!
“For your own info Zanu PF is nothing, in 2023 we will vote Zanu PF out and nothing will happen Zanu PF will just hand over power if it refuses we do not care we will put in power the person that won the elections!”
Nonsense! Tsvangirai won 73% in March 2008, why did you not put him in power then! You talk too much and all of it nonsense! “Kuvhumuka!” as one would say in Shona.
We must implement the reforms designed to stop Zanu PF rigging elections and only then can elections go ahead. All Chamisa’s hare-brain solid plans to win rigged elections have failed and it is insane to waste time and energy on such madness.
Every Zimbabwean with any brain at all should hang his/her head in shame that 41 years after independence, we still fail to hold free, fair and credible elections.
