What I like most about it is that both Violet and Brian have boldly gone where most people fear to tread - challenged what the politicians' say and even dare propose solutions of their own. <br /><br /><br />The truth is neither Zanu PF nor the coterie of opposition parties can deliver free and fair elections - the one thing we need to get out of this mess. The former will never ever implement the required democratic reforms because the party can never win free and fair elections. The latter led by Tsvangirai are pretending they can force Zanu PF to commit suicide just because they do not want to admit they should have implemented the reforms during the GNU; they did not because they sold-out. <br /><br /><br />The only reason many Zimbabweans still continue to put their faith in the politicians is because as a nation we have been drilled to believe that we are totally helpless on our own without the political leaders. The above interview has shaken that myth to the core! <br /><br /><br />Politicians and political parties do not hold the monopoly on wisdom. Accepting that Mugabe, Mujuru and Tsvangirai have no answers to our present national problems, it is their greedy and stupidity that landed us into the mess, is the single most significant step this nation has to make if we are ever to get out of the mess. I am sure this article will help open some eyes!Zimbabwe Lighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16660690160173744190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4779437748296704455.post-62803234808811156402016-09-06T12:40:59.702-07:002016-09-06T12:40:59.702-07:00Zanu PF is NOT going to implement any reforms, the...Zanu PF is NOT going to implement any reforms, they have said it plainly a thousand time. You cannot even make up your mind whether you will boycott the next elections or not.<br /><br />"Failure by the government to urgently address this long overdue issue will not result in UDF boycotting the elections but will seek to delay any polls that are designed to exclude citizens in the Diaspora."

President Mugabe and his cronies have enjoyed absolute power for the last 36 years and their hunger for power has not diminished even in the face of the regime's catalogue of tragic failure and human misery. If anything the party's hunger for power has grown by leaps and bounds. <br /><br /><br />The worsening economic situation has only made the party thugs even more determined than ever to hold on to power as they realized those even from among their own fellow ruling elite who have lost their powerful positions have not been spared of the ravages of growing poverty. <br /><br /><br />It is therefore crystal clear that Zanu PF will never ever implement meaningful democratic reforms of their own convolution. The only way the reforms are going to be implemented is to force Zanu PF to accept that they have failed in the running of the economy and the nation's affairs and the only way out now is for someone to reform the failed system and give the nation a fresh start.<br /><br /><br /><br />Since it was Zanu PF itself who build this system and the system has save the party well it is naïve to believe they would want to dismantle it. MDC and the other opposition parties are clearly naïve because this has been the basis of their demands for electoral reforms - they asking for reforms and want Zanu PF to implement those reforms!<br />Nomusa Garikaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04964205157943684601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4779437748296704455.post-2094216228915128872016-09-06T04:12:53.504-07:002016-09-06T04:12:53.504-07:00We all know about how Zanu PF has nothing but cont...We all know about how Zanu PF has nothing but contempt for the law 95% of the time and the 5% of the time the party seemed to care about the law it is only to abuse the law to harass and punish its political opponents and critics. Zanu PF rigged the 2013 elections, just because it took advantage of the corrupt and incompetent opposition does not make the vote rigging right. <br /><br />Zanu PF rigged the last elections and therefore there is nothing about the regime being the "constitutionally elected government"! Zanu PF is resisting the implementation of meaningful democratic reforms for no other reason than that it would want to rig the next elections and thus perpetuate its stay in power. <br />We will have the reforms implemented and the people will finally enjoy their birth right to free, fair and credible elections; regardless of all the Zanu PF stubborn resistance to reforms.<br />Nomusa Garikaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04964205157943684601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4779437748296704455.post-8204904152154405542016-09-06T03:05:38.652-07:002016-09-06T03:05:38.652-07:00Zimbabweans have failed to understand the dynamics...Zimbabweans have failed to understand the dynamics of the political process in the country; Zanu PF's political shenanigans and contempt of the common people and their suffering on the one hand. On the other hand, MDC and the opposition's breath-taking incompetence and duplicity; the opposition leaders pretend that they want to end the tyrannical oppression when in fact all they want to do is get a seat on the gravy train. <br /><br />The Zanu PF dictatorship has lasted for 36 years not because there have not been any opportunities to end by both Zanu PF member and the opposition, there were countless opportunities to do so but neither side took them because once on the gravy train their were more interested in keeping the system than dismantling it. <br /><br />If we are ever going to get the dictatorship dismantled then the people themselves must understand the reality that politicians of all sheds are benefiting from the gravy train and will never dismantle the system unless they are forced to. The challenge is for the people to realize they are being taken for a ride and for them to make it clear they will not accept any more excuses for failing to do so.
