It is these few seats that the opposition parties are fighting each other for. <br /><br />SADC have already told Zimbabweans what to do to stop Zanu PF rigging the elections; implement the reforms! Tsvangirai and company had five years to do this but failed to get even one reform implemented. SADC warned MDC leaders at the last regional summit before the 2013 elections not to contest they elections without implementing the reforms first. But once again Tsvangirai would not listen. <br /><br />SADC leaders like President Ian Khama of Botswana and the British have already repeated the warning not to contest the 2018 elections without implementing the reforms. It is for us Zimbabweans to stop corrupt and incompetent opposition politicians like Morgan Tsvangirai, Joice Mujuru, etc. whose only interest is to get back on the gravy train a.s.a.p. regardless the high cost to the nation of contesting flawed elections. <br /><br />We made the mistake of allowing Tsvangirai & co. to waste the GNU years and fail to implement the reforms. We compounded our own mistake of the GNU years by allowing these useless politicians to drag the nation into a flawed electoral process against all advice and reason. It would be sheer folly to allow ourselves to be conned by these brainless upstarts into participating in yet another election knowing the whole process is flawed! <br /><br />Albert Einstein said insanity is going the same thing over and over again expecting a different result. If participating in an election which we know will be rigged because you have done nothing to stop the rigging is not an act of insanity, then I do not know what is. <br />Nomusa Garikaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04964205157943684601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4779437748296704455.post-4879953906276372902017-05-01T09:54:45.460-07:002017-05-01T09:54:45.460-07:00Mai Khupe was a senior member of the MDC leaders i...Mai Khupe was a senior member of the MDC leaders in the GNU who failed to implement even one democratic reform throughout the five years of the GNU because they "were busy enjoying themselves and forgot why they were in the GNU," as SADC leaders rightly pointed out. For Mai Khupe to therefore boast of her "making money" by selling out the nation only saves to underline how corrupt and incompetent she is. The fact that her MDC supporters or anyone else saw nothing wrong with what she said only goes to explain how naive they are and why the country is in this mess - with such a naive electorate there is no chance of electing quality leaders!

He even told the crowd he will not accept anything other than an MDC victory. <br /><br />Some people are saying, with no reforms in place, Zanu PF has the 2018 elections already in the bag but clearly Tsvangirai thinks otherwise. We have all heard MDC boasting and grandstanding, all the usual theatrical sound and fury signifying nothing! <br /><br />The best and possibly only way to stop next year's flawed elections going ahead is by piling the pressure on Tsvangirai and his opposition friends to honour their own pledge not to contest elections without implementing the reforms first. What better way of ensuring that happens than by making sure ordinary Zimbabweans are being shafted by Tsvangirai and company. By making sure that all those who sell-out and contest in the flawed elections know they are committing political suicide. <br /><br />It is one thing for the likes of Tsvangirai or Mujuru, whose political career is as good as died if the reforms are implemented given their hopeless past track record, to commit suicide, Kamikaze style. It is another matter for the likes of Biti, Ncube and others who think they may have a chance to get back into power!<br />Patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03002527980821483437noreply@blogger.com
