It is amazing that none of our opposition leaders have yet got this simple message! <br /><br />I have never, until now that is, gone along with those who said our opposition are a curse to our cause for democratic change. They are indeed breathtakingly corrupt and incompetent and thus constitute a curse to the nation.<br /><br />President Mugabe’s long stay in power is understandable; with such corrupt and incompetent opponents cheating them is child’s play! <br /><br />I really do not see anyone in the opposition implementing any reforms in the next year and as for the ordinary Zimbabwean, many still do not have clue what the reforms are about. There two possible outcome come 2018; either Zanu PF will blatantly rig the elections are again or the economic hardships will harden povo’s resolve to get meaningful change to the 2008 level and thus forcing Zanu PF to resort to the 2008 barbarism to secure electoral victory. It is doubtful if Zanu PF will be able to hang on to power if the party used violence. <br />Nomusa Garikaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04964205157943684601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4779437748296704455.post-63306100542131441262016-05-16T11:55:56.147-07:002016-05-16T11:55:56.147-07:00Times are changing in Zimbabwe as Mugabe’s end nea...Times are changing in Zimbabwe as Mugabe’s end nears, but would-be successors are facing uncomfortable questions and equally uneasy choices. The way they react to these dilemmas will shape the country’s future. By STUART DORAN.<br />Dr Stuart Doran is a historian and the author of a forthcoming book, Kingdom, Power, Glory: Mugabe, Zanu and the quest for supremacy, 1960–87. <br />“Rinemanyanga hariputirwi!” so says the Shona adage. (Bad things cannot be hidden for long!) <br />What Mugabe has been doing to stay in power is coming out and the whole world is seeing for the incompetent, corrupt and murderous tyrant he is. To get their share of the absolute power and the looted wealth it brought people like VP Mnangagwa, Joice Mujuru, Didymus Mutasa, etc. have made themselves willing tools in the tyrant’s hands; they cannot pretend their did not play their part when they have the looted wealth and, for many of them, their hands are red with the shed blood of the innocent. <br /><br />As Zanu PF implode it is certain the truth will come out even first as both side of the warring faction take turns to discredit each other by revealing secrets of their opponents. President Mugabe talked of $15 billion of Marange diamonds were looted and Higher Education Minister, Jonathan Moyo has since revealed that Joice Mujuru is heavily implicated in the looting. <br /><br />The Mujuru faction has hit back already with Kudzai Mbudzi saying he will be releasing a book detailing Zanu PF misrule written with the help of Joice Mujuru! <br /><br />The truth, the whole truth, will be so damaging to both Mnangagwa and Mujuru and all the other Zanu PF leaders they will be forced to retire from all public life and thus delivering the political change the nation has been praying for all these last 36 years! <br />Zimbabwe Lighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16660690160173744190noreply@blogger.com
