To them, one-man-one-vote, freedom and human rights were all just an empty slogans to be kicked into the tall grass in pursuit of securing individual power and wealth. It did not take much persuading to get Chiwenga to ditch the liberation war values, use brute force to deny the people their freedoms and rights in return for the share of the political power and looted wealth. <br /><br />Even now with all the evidence that the Zanu PF dictatorship has failed Chiwenga still cannot see the writing on the wall and that the fighting here is between good and evil. The ease with which President Mugabe has talked people like General Chiwenga to do his bidding speaks volumes about the sheer stupidity of these people. <br /><br />Margaret Dongo was right that Zanu PF “ezere navakadzi vaMugabe” (is full of subservient Mugabe concubines). Many of us thought the concubines were in cabinet and parliament and now it is clear there are also in the Army, CIO, Police, Judiciary, etc., etc. Zimbabwe’s economic recovery is dependent on a thorough root and branch political reform designed to flush out vakadzi vaMugabe in every segment of society and destroy this perverse political culture once and once for all. <br />Nomusa Garikaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04964205157943684601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4779437748296704455.post-49732444420985205812016-08-10T01:58:50.450-07:002016-08-10T01:58:50.450-07:00A FARM belonging to Secretary general of the Zimba...A FARM belonging to Secretary general of the Zimbabwe National Liberations War Veterans Association (ZNLWVA) Victor Matemadanda has been invaded by a group of Zanu-PF youths, Bulawayo24.com has heard.<br /><br />The farm is in Mashonaland West province and Matemadanda share a boundary with the sharp-tongued Sarah Mahoka<br /><br />Zanu PF is a party of thugs and amongst thugs there is no respect of rule of law! Matemadanda in-vaded and seized the farm from the white farmer and now the same is happening to him.

Accusing the people of insulting leaders on the internet is a feeble excuse. Why bother, the Army has worked closely with the war veterans doing the regime's dirty work of denying the people their freedoms and rights for donkey years they people had not insulted anyone then. Just do your dirty work and stop giving stupid excuses!<br /><br />The one thing you must remember General is that change is unstoppable because the Zanu PF dictatorship has brought so much human suffering the present situation is socially and politically unsustainable. You can unleash the soldiers to attack innocent people like wolves attacking sheep but that will not stop regime change. When regime change happen, you will be called upon to account for all the innocent blood on your hands! You can save all the insulting text messages and e-mails because you will need them!Patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03002527980821483437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4779437748296704455.post-46523218927620879392016-08-09T16:42:36.804-07:002016-08-09T16:42:36.804-07:00For your own information, both MDC-T and ZimPF hav...For your own information, both MDC-T and ZimPF have each been wooing the rogue war veterans like Mahiya. Both Mai Mujuru and Chamisa attended Mahiya's court hearing and were falling over each other to impress the war veterans. ZUNDE must know what these war veterans have been doing in Zimbabwe; these are Zanu PF's thugs schooled in thuggery and not ashamed of it.<br /><br />By embracing these rogue war veterans both MDC-T and ZimPF have demonstrated once again their willingness to sell the cause for cheap political gains just as they did during the GNU and 34 years respectively. Are these the people ZUNDE really want to work with?Patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03002527980821483437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4779437748296704455.post-43186262005042333802016-08-09T16:20:15.152-07:002016-08-09T16:20:15.152-07:00“The government's planned legislation would al...“The government's planned legislation would allow authorities to arbitrarily seize mobile phones, tablets and laptops; monitor private communications; interrupt broadband service; and sentence violators to imprisonment.”<br /><br />Zimbabwe’s economic meltdown is socially and politically unsustainable and thus per se change is now totally unavoidable. The regime has the choice of either peaceful change or violent change and by adopting all these draconian measure to stifle communication and peaceful protests the regime has elected violent change. This is not the path the nation should be following because there is going to be destruction of property, people injured and even lives lost and President Mugabe and his cronies will be held to account for all the losses since it is them who have forced the nation to go down this path!<br />Patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03002527980821483437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4779437748296704455.post-26294302515497669592016-08-09T15:56:11.432-07:002016-08-09T15:56:11.432-07:00President Mugabe has been promising the soldiers b...President Mugabe has been promising the soldiers better housing.<br /><br />The Zimbabwe economic is in total meltdown because of decades of mismanagement and corrup-tion and the only way to stop the rot is by address the root causes. The street protests are above pressuring the Zanu PF regime to address the causes.<br /><br />After 36 years of being short changed by this Zanu PF government, it has kept up the promise of mass economic prosperity but has delivered instead mass poverty. The people has since wised up to the political reality that this regime is a bunch of self-serving thugs who do not care about the suffering of others and they will kill just to keep their privileged lifestyles. The people have wised up to the reality that they will never change the regime because it has perfected its vote rigging machinery to a T. The bounty of the Marange diamonds has been the regime’s greatest fortune because it has secured the funding of its vote rigging schemes with loads of cash to spare for bribing many, many others the regime needs to help it retain power. <br />President Mugabe is not going to improve the lives of the soldiers, the Police, the Zanu PF Youths and all the others he is bribing with better housing, residential stands, etc. just as he never improved the lives of the war veterans he bribed with $50 000 pay-off, pensions, etc. He wants the soldiers to do his dirty work of helping him deny the ordinary people the freedoms and their rights including the right to free and fair elections just as he bribed the war veterans to do the same dirty work for the last 16 years. <br />Whilst the big chefs like General Chiwenga and Police Commissioner Chihuri have benefited from the grand looting of the nation’s wealth and resources that has been taking place in Zimbabwe for the last 36 years the rank and file soldier and Police officer must know that their lot will never aspire for much above the bread line. Whilst Mugabe and his family will continue to fly to Singapore for something as trivial as an eye check the rank and file soldier will have to make do with health delivery system that is so poorly funded even major hospitals like Mpilo Hospital do not have something as basic as baby incubators. <br />It is high time that the rank and file soldiers, Police officers and the gullible Zanu PF Youths realized that the regime is using them to do its dirty work, it does not care about their welfare no more than it cares about the welfare of the masses. <br />It is high time that the rank and file soldiers realized that the political confrontation taking place to-day is a fight by the masses to end a political system that is corrupt and oppressive that has caused so much human misery and will destroy the nation if it is not stopped. There is need for these willing tools in the tyrant’s hands to realize that they must decide for themselves which side they are going to support!<br />But most important of all these soldiers, Police officers, Zanu PF Youths, etc. who shed innocent blood to please their tyrannical masters must know that it is them who will be held to account for the blood on their hands; the tyrant masters will deny even knowing them! <br />Patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03002527980821483437noreply@blogger.com
