Just because you do not want the truth told is about as irrelevant as a you wishing that the sun should not rise tomorrow!

We will never get these MDC people to admit they made a mistake much less apologize.<br /><br />Still, I will be damned if we should be found wanting in failing to hold them to account for the treasonous betrayal and greed. As for people like Misihairabwi assuming airs, it is to be expected of shallow-minded people like her.Patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03002527980821483437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4779437748296704455.post-34968267478454804172017-03-18T09:04:08.800-07:002017-03-18T09:04:08.800-07:00Tsvangrai's country wide tour were very poorly...Tsvangrai's country wide tour were very poorly attended and no one will be fooled by Tamborinyoka's "opinion makers" spin!

Only a United Nations Development Program UNDP) facilitated Biometric Voter Registration (BVR) procurement can achieve this,” you wrote.<br /><br />Even if UNPD procured the new voting system Zanu PF can still rig the elections because there is a hell lot more that must be done to stop Zanu PF rigging the elections. It will be foolish to support this narrow agenda and then try to expand on it should Zanu PF give in on this matter, which they will should everyone fall into the trap!<br /><br />The people of Zimbabwe must therefore demand the implementation of all democratic reforms and refuse to support this NERA one useless reform short list.

Zanu PF rigged the 2013 elections but failed to rig economic recovery and that is why the regime has had so many headaches in the last four years. Rigging next year's elections will not bring an end to its economic headaches, they will be even worse.<br />Nomusa Garikaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04964205157943684601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4779437748296704455.post-15149521247234344352017-03-18T08:23:29.231-07:002017-03-18T08:23:29.231-07:00War veterans have had to resort to a court challen...War veterans have had to resort to a court challenge to stop the regime banning their planned meeting. <br /><br />It is a sad day that war veterans, the people who have worked so hard to help create and impose this tyrannical dictatorship, should today find themselves the victims of the regime!<br />Nomusa Garikaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04964205157943684601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4779437748296704455.post-83717603609221867332017-03-18T08:12:56.204-07:002017-03-18T08:12:56.204-07:00@Marujata

Tsvangirai has been in the "opposition trenches" for nearly 20 years now, that is true, but that in itself is neither a virtue nor a vice; it is what he has accomplished that matters. He has blundered from pillar to post, he failed to get even one reform implemented during the GNU although he had the golden opportunity to do so because he in breathtakingly corrupt and incompetent.<br /><br />The formation or otherwise of the opposition coalition is of no consequence as long as nothing is done to stop Zanu PF rigging the vote. In the March 2008 Tsvangirai got 73% of the vote, by President Mugabe's own admission, but because he has total control of ZEC the vote was reduced to 47% after six weeks of recounting. This is the level of vote rigging we are dealing with here!Nomusa Garikaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04964205157943684601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4779437748296704455.post-12109763831924734222017-03-18T07:51:09.191-07:002017-03-18T07:51:09.191-07:00I must say that I am really disappointed by the ar...I must say that I am really disappointed by the arrogance of MDC leaders, they are now as arrogant and patronising as Robert Mugabe himself. MDC had the golden opportunity to implement the democratic reforms that would have ended Zanu PF's corrupt and tyrannical rule forever. <br /><br />MDC knew about the reforms because what democratic change did they want to bring if it was not these? SADC leaders did their best to remind MDC leaders to implement the reforms but were ignored. MDC leaders "were too busy enjoying themselves and forgot why they were in the GNU," complained the SADC leaders in sheer frustration. <br /><br />Priscilla Misihairabwi Mushonga was a cabinet member for Pete's sake and she, like the rest of her MDC colleagues, was distracted by the trappings of high office and forgot about the reforms. She will be remembered for joining her follow MDC colleagues in singing the praises of President Mugabe. We all remember her of holding the tyrant in such awe, she was "speechless", she said. <br /><br />MDC leaders ow the people of Zimbabwe an apology for selling-out during the GNU. If not an apology then an acknowledgement that they betrayed the nation as a show of contrition, at least. It is therefore an insult that these MDC leaders should instead continue to behave as if they have done nothing wrong or that our suffering as a consequence of the betrayal is of no importance! <br /><br />“For some of us who were in the inclusive government, I am not interested in anybody telling me about setting something up.” She said with such a condescending and dismissive finality as if being in the inclusive government made her a goddess the rest of us mere mortal cannot dare question! No wonder the country is in a mess, with a corrupt and murderous tyrant is State House and with a corrupt, incompetent and pompous opposition it could not be anywhere else! <br />Nomusa Garikaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04964205157943684601noreply@blogger.com
