Baboons are baboons they will behave like baboons; if you accept to live like one of them then do not complain that they are behaving like baboons!<br /><br />We must implement the democratic reforms if we want free and fair elections if we do not implement the reforms then we should not complain that Zanu PF is rigging the elections!Zimbabwe Lighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16660690160173744190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4779437748296704455.post-13533796279423398222017-01-25T11:02:59.353-08:002017-01-25T11:02:59.353-08:00No one else in the country heard about Tsvangirai ...No one else in the country heard about Tsvangirai winning 54%! There was no doubt that Zanu PF was cooking the result when they failed to declare the results after the first day after the elections. When Archbishop raised the alarm after two or three days of sitting at the results it was Morgan Tsvangirai who said people should wait. Of course that was a big mistake by MDC. <br /><br /><br />The next big blunder by MDC is the failure to get even one reform implemented after five years of the GNU.<br /><br /><br />You can try to blame SADC for Zimbabwe's problems but history knows that it was MDC's breathtakingly corrupt and incompetent leaders who let us down a more often than SADC ever did! We are not all as stupid and blind as MDC supporters!Nomusa Garikaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04964205157943684601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4779437748296704455.post-2766518862762730562017-01-25T09:56:39.436-08:002017-01-25T09:56:39.436-08:00Comparing Zimbabwe in 2008 to Gambia in 2016 is co...Comparing Zimbabwe in 2008 to Gambia in 2016 is comparing chalk and cheese! In Gambia the elections results were publicly declared and Jammeh accepted that he had lost and then changed his mind; it was simple for Ecowas to insist that he respect the result. In Zimbabwe Mugabe was dragging his feet over declaring the March 2008 result. After a few days of sitting on the results many people were calling for pressure to be brought on him to declare the results but it was Tsvangirai who dismissed the suggestion. He latter realised that he had made the mistake but it was too late. Mugabe finally declared the results and gave Tsvangirai 47% of the vote. <br /><br />SADC had no choice but to accept that result, what else did you want them to do!<br /><br />Zimbabweans have made one blunder after another and have blame SADC for all the country's problems. This is just being foolish; we need to grow up!Nomusa Garikaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04964205157943684601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4779437748296704455.post-14463518747550895692017-01-25T09:02:37.783-08:002017-01-25T09:02:37.783-08:00It is becoming increasingly clear that our opposit...It is becoming increasingly clear that our opposition parties have being deceitful to the electorate. They have always kept up the pretence that they are on the verge of delivering free and fair elections and the people should risk all for the final push when in fact they knew the elections will be rigged and they were fighting for the crumbs President Mugabe was throwing at them - their reward for keeping the tyrant in power. They have denied us our hopes and dreams of freedom, liberty and human dignity; bartering with the tyrant like mangoes! <br /><br />Whilst we cannot stop these vulture-opposition politicians from contesting flawed elections what we can do and must do is expose these politicians for whom they really are - vultures profiting from the continued suffering and deaths of the millions of ordinary Zimbabweans! <br /><br />We must shun these vultures and all their lies and deceit! All those who contest in the flawed elections must know that they will never ever be allowed to hold public office in Zimbabwe. They have just written their own political obituary! <br />Nomusa Garikaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04964205157943684601noreply@blogger.com
