You can insist that is normal all you want the truth is it not normal. Zanu PF has turned our politics into a dirty game because they are thugs. <br /><br />Tsvangirai and his MDC friends were asked to implement the democratic reforms designed to stop Zanu PF rigging elections and restoring the people’s fundamental freedoms and human rights. They had five years to do this but failed to get even one reform implemented. Not one! Why? Mugabe bribed them with trappings of high office including the $4 million Highlands mansion for Tsvangirai. Of course, MDC leaders sold-out and they are corrupt and incompetent. <br /><br />You are asking me to name who is not corrupt, incompetent and a thug is irrelevant in that my answer will not change the historic fact of Zanu PF being a party of thugs and MDC leaders being sell-outs. <br /><br />I refuse to accept that Zimbabwe does not have competent men and women with common sense who can lead this great nation out of this hell-on-earth these Zanu PF thugs have dragged us into. All we have to do is implement the democratic reforms designed to clean up the dirty political system the thugs fostered on the nation and quality leaders will emerge. <br />Zimbabwe Lighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16660690160173744190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4779437748296704455.post-30760215840506490972018-01-25T17:22:40.209-08:002018-01-25T17:22:40.209-08:00President Mnangagwa stubbornly refuse to discuss Z...President Mnangagwa stubbornly refuse to discuss Zanu PF’s rotten past on CNN. He is trying to avoid having to deal with difficult issues such as corruption by pretending to do so will be to dwell in the past. <br /><br />One of the root causes of corruption and mismanagement is the Zanu PF political patronage system, that is alive and thriving in the new dispensation. Before the dust of the November 2017 coup had settled President Mnangagwa was sharing out the spoils of power with his fellow coup plotters. He knows as well as very one that all his talk of free, fair and credible elections is all hot air because people like Minister Perrance Shiri or VP Chiwenga, will not brook the reality of being voted out of power, period!<br /><br />So, to refuse to deal with Zanu PF’s political patronage system and vote rigging and all the other malpractices needed to sustain it to refuse to dwell in the past but it is also refusing to deal with the present and the future because the rotten system does not go away. It was there in the past, it is here today and, as long as nothing is done to uproot the system it will still be there tomorrow and in the future. <br /><br />Zanu PF is a party of ruthless thugs, the party has always bullied, cheated, bribed, bamboozled and even committed cold blooded murders to impose what it wants on the nation. President Mnangagwa and his coup plotters decided that the coup itself was not a coup but a military assisted transition – they expect everyone else to accept that as fact because they said so. They have also decreed that the post-coup period is a new democratic dispensation in which there will be free, fair and credible elections; the fact this contrary to the situation on the ground is irrelevant – they say it is so and we must all swallow the lie. <br /><br />Zanu PF know it needs to project the image of a law-abiding nation and the regime really believes it can just bully the world into accepting that it not a bully! It has managed to bluff the ordinary people into believing this but clearly it has failed dismally to do so with the international community and would be foreign investors the regime is desperate to woo. <br /><br />As things stand it is hard for me to see the country attracting any would-be investors in the next six months or ever. As the truth of the pending no significant economic recover start to sink in Zimbabweans will once again start to demand meaningful regime change. Zanu PF will step up its vote rigging activities just to hang on to power. <br /><br />The harder Zanu PF tries to hang on to power the more determined the people will get to remove the regime. In the end Zanu PF will give up its strangle hold on power because it is the people in such confrontations who always prevail in the long run. <br /><br />Booting out Mugabe has postponed the demise of Zanu PF but only for a little while. Zanu PF will be booted out of power and that will happen sooner than President Mnangagwa and his Zanu PF thugs expect.<br />Zimbabwe Lighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16660690160173744190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4779437748296704455.post-18476459507024048352018-01-25T15:34:33.163-08:002018-01-25T15:34:33.163-08:00@ Ngara

Even if all the reforms were implemented tomorrow the situation on the ground takes time to settle and allow the reforms to take effect. <br />Zimbabwe Lighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16660690160173744190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4779437748296704455.post-24016473498902126452018-01-25T14:19:52.042-08:002018-01-25T14:19:52.042-08:00The truth of the matter is that MDC-T leaders are ...The truth of the matter is that MDC-T leaders are some of the most corrupt and competent politicians in the world they pathetic performance during the GNU speaks volumes. Having failed to get the democratic reforms implemented during the GNU when they had their best chance, MDC leaders are now at a loss what they can do. They can see that Zanu PF is rigging the elections but do not what they can do without admitting and/or exposing their own incompetence during the GNU. <br /><br />They have settled for the next best thing, accept whatever scraps Zanu PF offer them! They will never admit they are fighting over scrap, of course. They will pretend the reforms are not necessary, they can win the elections without the reforms, they can win rigged elections, one minute. The next minute, they will be complaining that Zanu PF is rigging the elections. This is a confused lot, they do not know whether they are coming or going. They do not know where they are! Nothing of any substance we ever come out of corrupt, incompetent and sell-outs like Tsvangirai and his happy-go-lucky gang. Nothing! The sooner the people accept this reality the better and the sooner the nation can get on with the real business of getting out of this mess. <br /><br />If there is going to be any hope of getting the reforms implemented and finally have free, fair and credible then it will have to be the people of Zimbabwe themselves who must demand reform and drive this! <br />Zimbabwe Lighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16660690160173744190noreply@blogger.com
