Nelson Chamisa is a corrupt and incomp...@ Nomazulu<br /><br />Nelson Chamisa is a corrupt and incompetent village idiot who is desperate to get into power he is promising the nation the moon on a silver platter whilst shooting himself in the foot. The idiot is promising to turn the country's $10 billion GPD into $46 billion in five years, have bullet trains, etc. The idiot had five years during the GNU to implement the democratic reforms necessary to stop Zanu PF rigging the elections and he failed to get even one reform implemented. <br /><br />Worse still, by insisting in participating in these elections without first implementing the reforms he is shooting himself and the nation at large in the foot because this is exactly what Zanu PF want to give its vote rigging the modicum of credibility. <br /><br />Zimbabwe will never get out of the economic and political mess Zanu PF has landed us in until we implement the reforms. And typical of a village idiot, he is promising something beyond his reach and ignoring that which is and what the nation is dying for. <br /><br />Emerson Mnangagwa is a corrupt, incompetent and murderous thug. He was Mugabe's most trusted thug and no job was too dirty for the crocodile. When the tyrant tried to pull a fast one on Emerson and his group of thugs, they booted the tyrant in a coup! <br /><br />Mnangagwa's "Zimbabwe is open for business!" has failed to bring in the flood on investors he was cocksure would come. Investors are a pretty shrewd lot they were not easily fool by the big smile, the loud scarf and the "new dispensation" sweet talk. They saw the thug trying to con them and by failing to hold free and fair elections Mnangagwa has left no one in any doubt that he is the same corrupt, incompetent and ruthless thugs of yesteryears. No investor in his right mind would want to do business with a thug and his Junta regime! <br /><br />These elections are offering the Zimbabwe electorate to choose between Chamisa and Mnangagwa; a grime choice comparable to choosing to have one's leg or hand cut-off! As long as nothing is done to implement the reforms so we can dismantle the one-party dictatorship system that has produced corrupt and incompetent leaders in both sides of the political divide they will be never be quality leaders on offer during elections. <br /><br />"WHAT SHOULD WE DO, MAMA?" you rightly ask.<br /><br />SADC leaders have answered you; do not take part in the elections without first implementing the reforms!<br /><br />The people of Zimbabwe must refuse to have anything to do with these flawed elections and demand that they be declared null and void. The international community are sick and tired of hearing Zimbabweans complaining of "rigged elections" when they are the ones who foolishly insisted in taking part in the elections against advice not to! <br />Zimbabwe Lighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16660690160173744190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4779437748296704455.post-83464850518188280302018-06-11T14:54:59.216-07:002018-06-11T14:54:59.216-07:00"Mudzuri hints at turmoil in the MDC-T after ..."Mudzuri hints at turmoil in the MDC-T after the chaotic primary elections that have seemingly plunged the MDC-T party into a vicious circle of deception and disguise. Reading into the Vice President's tweet, it goes without saying that there seems that the MDC Alliance boat has hit turbulent waters with just a few weeks before the 30 July harmonized elections. The recently held primary elections culminated in the elbowing out of old cadres such as Majome, Kore, Chimanikire, Mudzuri from parliament. To all intends and purposes, Mudzuri refers to these old cadres in his tweet as the core and umbilical code of the Alliance."<br /><br />The MDC Alliance will face its greatest test on June 14th when Tendai Biti, Welshman Ncube and all the other smaller partners in the Alliance learn how many of them are going to face old MDC-T candidates in the form of independent in the constituency supposedly reserved for them. <br />Zimbabwe Lighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16660690160173744190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4779437748296704455.post-68899397303485947142018-06-11T14:38:01.888-07:002018-06-11T14:38:01.888-07:00President Mnangagwa and his coup plotters did not ...President Mnangagwa and his coup plotters did not risk and limb wrestling power from President Mugabe and his G40 supporters, ruthless and murderous thugs in their own right, only to hand over power to Chamisa and his upstart MDC friend in a silver platter.President Mnangagwa and his junta are ruthless thugs and it is not in the nature of thugs to ever give up power, not without a fight. <br /><br />President Mnangagwa will rig these elections and fight tooth and nail to have them recognised as having been free, fair and credible. We must be prepared for the fight and to stand up to these bullies. They will not give an inch and we too must show them from the word go that we too are not going to give an inch. <br /><br />After 38 years of rigging elections we must now put an end to this culture.

How naïve! <br /><br />These elections are not free, fair and credible because there is no free public media, Zanu PF is robbing the nation blind to bankroll its vote rigging schemes, ZEC has failed to produce a verified voters' roll, etc. <br /><br />It is dimwits like you who have made it easy for tyrants to seize power and ride roughshod over the people's freedoms and human rights.<br />Zimbabwe Lighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16660690160173744190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4779437748296704455.post-58055734117383303082018-06-11T10:41:40.380-07:002018-06-11T10:41:40.380-07:00@ Rudo
