These NERA people are not interested in freedom and justice no more than Zanu PF was before independence; all they want is to get back into power. <br /><br />The current wave of street protest are going to result in the repeat of the wanton violence of 2008 Tsvangirai and Mujuru do not care how many people will be beaten, raped and even killed as long as they get back into power. <br /><br />Just as many people thought fighting in the war of independence was the panacea to all the nation's problems many people to day think joining in the street protest is the panacea. How naïve, unless we, the people, take time to build strong democratic institutions ourselves the politicians will never do it because as soon as they are in power all they want to do is secure they stay in power and enjoy the fruits of being in power! <br /><br />Before you join in the street protest ask yourself how are we going to stop whoever gets into power next time from becoming corrupt and oppressive just as Zanu PF have been after inde-pendence? In other words, ask yourself what lessons do we need to learn from the nightmare of the last 36 years? Those who never learn from their past mistakes are doomed to repeat the mistakes over and over until they learn that is a fundamental law of nature founded in the Darwinian law of survival of the fittest! <br />Nomusa Garikaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04964205157943684601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4779437748296704455.post-32363863421521546322016-09-17T18:44:22.142-07:002016-09-17T18:44:22.142-07:00Our friend is one of those brainwashed individuals...Our friend is one of those brainwashed individuals who can only see two colours black or white, right and wrong, etc. After the problems of slavery and colonial oppression he pigeon-hole the whites as bad and the blacks as bad and has strangled to declassify the two races even when a black leaders becomes a corrupt and murderous tyrant, especial when the tyrant has kept up his anti-white rhetoric.<br /><br />As Zivai has already explained, Mugabe lost his legitimacy to govern because he rigged the elections; he has successful regain his legitimacy by stirring up the anti-white rhetoric and presenting himself as the champion of the anti-West brigade.<br /><br />Mugabe has now successful retained his trophy as the undisputed heavy weight champion of the world in anti-West rhetoric. How would have thought it possible the so many Zimbabweans just like our friend Afrika here would still defend the tyrant even with the mountain of evidence of his tyrannical tendencies. Many of the hardcore war veterans have only now started criticizing Mugabe now, because it has taken 36 years to open their "puppy eyes", according to Mai Mujuru. <br /><br />We should have demanded and exercised our right to hold Zanu PF leaders to account from the word go. Failing to do so have been at the very heart of how we have let ourselves down. We must hold all leaders to account from now on! <br /><br />If Tsvangirai, Mai Mujuru or Mugabe himselves does not want to be held to account then they should have never held any public office!Zimbabwe Lighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16660690160173744190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4779437748296704455.post-40168127230683527432016-09-17T04:45:44.006-07:002016-09-17T04:45:44.006-07:00@ Stobart

Are you saying we should not hold them to account for that just because they are no longer in power?<br /><br />MDC-T have MPs and senators who should be playing a influencial role right now in getting the democratic reforms implemented so the nation has free and fair elections in 2018. They are doing f&*k all as we can see. Are you saying we should not hold them to account?<br /><br />Tsvangirai and Mujuru are out there right now canvassing for votes in the next elections, it is imperative that the people know these two are corrupt and incompetent and therefore they must never again be trusted with the destiny of this great nation. People must be warned of this now and not wait until the two village idiots are in power, it will be too late!Patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03002527980821483437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4779437748296704455.post-13784914066034176792016-09-17T04:24:55.660-07:002016-09-17T04:24:55.660-07:00@ Stobart

After risking life and limb in the fight for independence it was heart breaking to see the country go to the dogs as corrupt and murder-ous thugs seized power and ran amok. What you are advocating is that anyone who is not happy with the situation must risk life and limb fighting the system and they will too be free to run amok! Only a simpleton like you would not see that this is a vicious circle that will not solve anything. <br /><br />The right to hold leaders to account is a fundamental right that must be enjoyed by all regard-less of whether they risked life and limb fighting a dictatorship or colonial oppression. <br /><br />Tsvangirai and Mai Mujuru have already proven that they are corrupt and incompetent and I am sick to the back teeth of all these morons who are coming up with all manner of feeble excuses why such village idiots should be allowed to map the destiny of this great nation! <br />Patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03002527980821483437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4779437748296704455.post-24211089669369690192016-09-17T04:04:50.079-07:002016-09-17T04:04:50.079-07:00@ Afrika

Certainly not black Zimbabweans, we have never had free, fair and credible elections in the country!<br /><br />We are fighting for our people's right to free, fair and credible elections so even if the whites are all you say they are; is that a reason why Mugabe should continue to rig elections? Your stupidity is the real stuff of legends!Patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03002527980821483437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4779437748296704455.post-41416320852874046972016-09-17T03:52:55.894-07:002016-09-17T03:52:55.894-07:00

We are in this hell-hole today because for the last 36 years we have failed to grant our people the one thing that would have seal and guaranteed our freedom, human rights and hopes and dreams.<br /><br />The economic meltdown has created a new opportunity for Zimbabwe to reset its political system; to dismantle the failed dictatorship and replace it with a democratic system in which the freedoms and basic rights of all our people including the right to free, fair and credible elections and the right to life are secured and guaranteed! This is something we can deliver and, this time, we must deliver without failure!<br />Patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03002527980821483437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4779437748296704455.post-49326710609676906272016-09-16T19:40:40.079-07:002016-09-16T19:40:40.079-07:00@ Stobart

Well tough luck! Let us get this one very clear, anyone hold public office or aspiring to hold public office will be weighed to see if they are competent to hold public office and they will be questioned and held to account for all they have done or failed to do. That is not negotiable!<br />Nomusa Garikaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04964205157943684601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4779437748296704455.post-74873286148749158572016-09-16T14:09:44.277-07:002016-09-16T14:09:44.277-07:00For the last 36 years we have ignored the importan...For the last 36 years we have ignored the importance of having quality leaders and have paid dearly for it. One gets the impression that most Zimbabweans are not concerned about who replaces President Mugabe all they want is for him to go. We did the same thing with Ian Smith of course. To elect someone like Tsvangirai or Mujuru when we already know their track record as corrupt and incompetent leaders is simply unforgivable. <br /><br /><br /><br />The economic meltdown is forcing Zanu PF to accept political change, we must get the right political change to allow quality leaders to emerge. We must not allow the nation to be stampeded by the likes of Tsvangirai or Mujuru into another rigged elections who result in yet another mediocre regime! <br /><br /><br /><br />I agree with you 100% if you are so politically naïve and gullible to accept someone as corrupt and incompetent as Tsvangirai or Mujuru as leader then you have learnt nothing. You can say "Tajamuka!" all you want the truth is you are still fast asleep! <br />Nomusa Garikaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04964205157943684601noreply@blogger.com
