When a tortoise is threatens it withdraws into the shell, its comfort zone. But when it is being threatened by a grass fire then it is a 100m dash for safety. The fact that Professor Moyo is asking president Mugabe to get out of his comfort zone and do the exact opposite - give back the members the power - means he is really scrapping the bottom now! <br /><br />With the war veterans fanning the bush fires this is certainly not the right time for President Mugabe, whom I agree is a control freak, to be giving up his excessive autocratic powers! There will be trouble ahead, let us put on the music and dance!Nomusa Garikaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04964205157943684601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4779437748296704455.post-75597567807408134062016-11-25T09:14:07.726-08:002016-11-25T09:14:07.726-08:00There are reports of violence and intimidation of ...There are reports of violence and intimidation of voters by Zanu PF ahead of Chimanimani by-election tomorrow.<br /><br />There is all the evidence that Zanu PF will rig the next elections the question is why are these opposition buffoon taking part in an election process they already know will be rigged. Our problem is there are some opposition leaders who are willingly sell-out the ordinary people and their right to free, fair and credible elections for the purpose of securing for themselves those crumbs they know Zanu PF will throw out for the opposition. <br /><br />Tsvangirai and his MDC friends sold-out on the nation's chance to dismantle the Zanu PF dictatorship during the GNU, Mugabe offered them the gravy train lifestyles plus the $4 million Highlands mansion for Tsvangirai and instead of doing the right thing and implement the reforms they took the bribes and kicked the reforms into the tall grass. <br /><br />History is repeating itself, the opposition parties will take part in the 2018 elections regardless of all the evidence the elections will be rigged; just as MDC leaders wanted the immediate gain of the bribes they will be going for the few seats Zanu PF will throw for the opposition and damn the consequencesZimbabwe Lighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16660690160173744190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4779437748296704455.post-60274412058272973332016-11-25T08:41:12.319-08:002016-11-25T08:41:12.319-08:00When Mugabe changed the party constitution in 2014...When Mugabe changed the party constitution in 2014 to give himself the power to appoint the two VPs he was only formalising what he had been doing already anyway. For over 50 years, Mugabe has seen to it that his name was the only one in the hat for first secretary so every elective congress was just a coronation. He also manipulated the process to make sure he appointed the other candidates so they were always beholden to him and not the party members. <br /><br />He also appointed every one in the Politburo except for the ex officio members. He did the same thing in government; he appoints all the cabinet members, Judges, Army Officers, University vice Chancellors (he is the only Chancellor of all the Universities). <br /><br />Mugabe is a megalomania and a control freak! <br /><br />G40 has failed to displace Mnangagwa from his pole position in the race to replace Mugabe even with the tyrant control every lever of power in the land. G40 are revert to the old system of allowing the party member elect VP in the hope they will remove Mnangagwa from pole position. <br /><br />In 2014 Mujuru was set to win the VP post ahead of Mnangagwa; this time Mnangagwa is the front runner! You are really getting desperate now!<br /><br />"A ruler that's not flexible enough to bend will break!" twittered Professor Moyo in a desperate effort to justify the sudden departure from the one centre of power philosophy. <br /><br />What Professor Moyo should tell Mugabe is: "You can fool some people all the time; you can fool all the people some of the times but you cannot fool all the people all the time!" <br /><br />Mugabe is now learning that he cannot fool everybody all the time, the hard way by having his nose rubbed into it. Even the brainwashed war veteran thugs like Mahiya are telling him to his face that he is a second grade crook and must now go!Zimbabwe Lighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16660690160173744190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4779437748296704455.post-25830910131744362442016-11-24T20:12:33.539-08:002016-11-24T20:12:33.539-08:00The people of Zimbabwe are damned if the accept th...The people of Zimbabwe are damned if the accept the bond notes and as for not accepting, they have no say, not as long as they are in Zimbabwe. The people's worst curse is that the have never been allowed a meaningful say in the governance of the country, they have been stuck with this corrupt and tyrannical regime for 36 years and counting. As long as Zanu PF has the licence to rig elections this nation is never going to get out of this hell-hole!Nomusa Garikaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04964205157943684601noreply@blogger.com
