By Wilbert MukoriNomusa Garikaihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04964205157943684601noreply@blogger.comBlogger5125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4779437748296704455.post-37606408404164690952016-05-02T18:25:21.058-07:002016-05-02T18:25:21.058-07:00The only real pressure on Zanu PF to force then to...The only real pressure on Zanu PF to force then to implement meaningful reforms would have been the fear that all the country's opposition will be as good as the word and boycott elections until meaningful reforms are implemented. So if MDC-T are going to take part in the elections and they are "categorical" on that point there is real no reason why Zanu PF should even try to implement any reforms then. <br /><br />Tsvangirai's assurance that all reforms will have been implemented before the next elections is comparable to a mother promising a crying child the moon, anything just to make the child stop crying. Ask him how he is going to force Zanu PF to implement any reforms that would cost the party the elections and he will not tell, claiming it is all a secret. Believe that and you will believe the mother will present her child with the moon on a silver platter! <br /><br />Zimbabweans prefer to pretend Tsvangirai will deliver free and fair elections even when deep down they know he will never deliver because it is the easy way out. The tragedy is Zimbabweans are doing very dearly for their folly!<br />Patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03002527980821483437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4779437748296704455.post-9596521642581014412016-05-02T08:32:55.458-07:002016-05-02T08:32:55.458-07:00MDC was formed to bring democratic change and thus...MDC was formed to bring democratic change and thus end the Mugabe's dictator-ship. The changes we needed were clearly identified and agreed in the GPA as a raft of democratic reforms to be implemented and the drafting of a new democratic constitution. <br /><br />All MDC had to do was to implement the reforms and in five years of the GNU they failed to get even one reform implemented. Not one! <br /><br />There are people like you who, habitually, never ask any questions of their leaders and prefer to follow like sheep. You deeply resent those who refuse to follow your example. Well tough s***t! I refuse to be like you because man is a creature of reason with a brain to think for himself. I will not only ask questions of Tsvangirai, Mugabe and whoever else holds or aspire to hold public office but better still, I will ask the awkward questions that are making you cringe and blow hot and cold!<br /> <br />You do not want Tsvangirai asked why he failed to implement even one democratic reform during the GNU because you know the true answer is because he is breathtakingly corrupt and incompetent! You hate this basic truth because the consequences of it are devastating. It exposes you for the mindless sheep you are who was easily conned all these years by a corrupt and incompetent village idiot! Worse still you still continue to put your trust in Tsvangirai even with the mountain of evidence he is a village idiot. What does that make of you? I leave you to answer this one yourself; assuming that you still have some functional grey stuff between your ears and it has not all turned fatty tissue.<br /><br />My greatest concern is the consequence to the nation of having a corrupt and in-competent leader in government. You and all the other MDC sheep out there can follow Tsvangirai and vote for him come the elections, it is your democratic right and I respect it. My duty, which I take very serious and hence the reason I take no prisoners, is to make sure you all know Tsvangirai is a breathtakingly corrupt and incompetent village idiot who failed to deliver democratic change when he had the golden opportunity to do so and will never ever deliver change. <br /><br />“Form your (own) party!” you say. I have heard that said to me a million times and now forth million and one time I will dismiss it with same contempt as typical mongoose mentality. <br /><br />If a mongoose comes across an ostrich egg it knows there is plenty of quality food inside; the challenge is how to break the egg. It cannot bite the egg and so it digs, rolling the egg back and forth but getting nowhere. The Egyptian vulture has learnt to use a stone to break the egg, the mongoose will dig! <br /><br />You have learnt that if you have a problem of bad governance, you form a new political party. In the 2013 elections Zimbabwe had no fewer than 28 different political parties and yet the problem of bad governance has got even worse not better. You with your mongoose mentality still believe the answer is to be found in forming more political parties. <br /><br />Given that there are no more than three or four political parties if other countries with very good and progressive government; common sense would dictate that our solution is not in more political parties but in answering why those we have, have been ineffective. Our problem is not one of quantity but rather one of lack of quality! <br /><br />We need a discerning electorate as contrast to the mindless sheep who can separate the competent and visionary leaders we want from the throng of corrupt and in-competent village idiots who too are as keen as mustard to be leaders.<br /><br />From henceforth you, Machacha, must remember that you are a village idiot pro-grammed to follow blindly whatever village idiot is put before you; I have, thank God, retained my human characteristic to think for myself. You must therefore never ever be so presumptuous as to instruct me what to say or do! <br />Zimbabwe Lighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16660690160173744190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4779437748296704455.post-88654249067457260692016-05-01T13:37:25.473-07:002016-05-01T13:37:25.473-07:00I have nothing against the man Morgan Tsvangirai b...I have nothing against the man Morgan Tsvangirai but everything against our stubborn people who refuse to see him for the corrupt and incompetent individual he is. His track record of the last 16 years on the political stage speaks volumes and no one should claim not to know it. What else does one has to do to convince these people that he is incompetent. <br /><br /><br /><br /><br />The Zimbabwean people must accept the responsibility to ensure that the next elections are free and fair; they can try pass that to Tsvangirai and other opposition leaders but at the end of the day they, the people, will be force to accept yet another rigged elections and pay dearly for it! <br /><br /><br /><br /><br />People get the government they deserve and after 36 years we cannot say we did not get our chances to remove this Zanu PF dictatorship; we did get many, many chances but wasted them all. It will take a lot more than shouting "Mugabe must go!" to end the dictatorship. And choosing a corrupt and incompetent leader to champion our cause will only help the tyrant stay for many, many more years as people like Tsvangirai will keep promising change but failing to deliver. <br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Tsvangirai is corrupt and incompetent, he cannot help being who he is. It is for the people to elect competent leaders and if they will not do so then they must pay the price! It is that simple!<br />Nomusa Garikaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04964205157943684601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4779437748296704455.post-11595722494258320502016-05-01T11:18:07.648-07:002016-05-01T11:18:07.648-07:00Tsvangirai has himself acknowledge, or be it belat...Tsvangirai has himself acknowledge, or be it belatedly that coalition of not the opposition will not win the next elections without implementing the democratic reforms. Sadly he does not know what these reforms are since he keeps wittering about electoral law reforms which anyone in the know will tell you they will change nothing.<br /><br /><br />Zimbabwe's greatest challenge is that it has an electorate that is naive and gullible and given to follow leaders sheepishly. Tsvangirai will never offer a way out of the hell the nation is stuck in but it will take a few more years for that message to sink in - time the nation does not have!Zimbabwe Lighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16660690160173744190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4779437748296704455.post-2501301025616237402016-05-01T11:07:40.812-07:002016-05-01T11:07:40.812-07:00“What Zimbabwe desperately needs is a truth-tellin...“What Zimbabwe desperately needs is a truth-telling,” Coltart said. That is very true and if Senator Coltart really meant it then he should have admitted in his book and in all his talks on Zimbabwe that the country had its best chance to end the Zanu PF dictatorship and he and his fellow MDC leaders waster the chance. They failed to implement even one meaningful reform in five years of the GNU because the “sold-out” as Music legend Thomas Mapfumo said. <br /><br />Senator Coltart has admitted in his book that the country’s 2013 constitution has failed to provide the checks and balances against the dictatorial presidential powers. So why is he now “stressing that implementation of the country’s constitution—which he said offered real opportunity for meaningful reform—is paramount to any international approach to the country.” <br /><br />Zimbabwe can align every existing law to the last phrase this will not make Zimbabwe a democracy because the new constitution is weak and feeble. Veritas, a Zimbabwean think tank on legal matters have said the same thing. <br /><br />Senator Coltart is conducting all these world tours to sell his book but he must know that he selling-out Zimbabwe just as he did during the GNU by lying to the world that the country can get out of the mess it is in by implementing a weak and feeble constitution! <br />Zimbabwe Lighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16660690160173744190noreply@blogger.com
