After 17 years he has yet to implement even one change; our grant Duke Morgan Tsvangirai, the great SAVE, "Chitsika patinhira" (One who makes the earth shake with each foot step), is still marching the men up the hill and down again!Patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03002527980821483437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4779437748296704455.post-23114701371344659892017-03-27T05:50:29.615-07:002017-03-27T05:50:29.615-07:00"Like the Grand Old Duke of York, Morgan Tsva..."Like the Grand Old Duke of York, Morgan Tsvangirai marched his men up to the top of the hill on Wednesday. And, as goes the English nursery rhyme, he promptly marched them down again," you said.<br /><br />Well you have captured the essence of Tsvangirai and his MDC friends; they have marching up the hill, promising to deliver democratic change for the last 17 years, only to march down hill again without implementing even one democratic reform! <br /><br />You have asked the question; "If not now (time to deliver the democratic changes) - when?"<br /><br />I think the more pertinent question is: "Do you know what the democratic changes we need for free and fair elections?"<br /><br />After 17 years in politics, Tsvangirai and his MDC friends have yet to explain just what democratic changes they want to ensure an independent ZEC, for example. We should remember that most of the people in ZEC today including the chairperson, Justice Rita Makarau, were appointed during the GNU and Tsvangirai and friends approved their appointment.<br /><br />For 17 years, we have ignored the political reality that Tsvangirai and his MDC friends have no idea what they are doing and therefore will never deliver any democratic change in Zimbabwe. We cannot afford to ignore this reality anymore!<br />Patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03002527980821483437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4779437748296704455.post-39823366387144038682017-03-26T17:20:29.892-07:002017-03-26T17:20:29.892-07:00War veterans led by Sylvanos Dube, a self declared...War veterans led by Sylvanos Dube, a self declared former freedom fighter is moving around Mwenezi East Constituency instructing villagers to vote for Zanu PF candidate Omar Joosbi or they will unleash brutal killings similar to the Gukurahundi terror.<br /><br />Zanu PF continues to use fear, vote buying and other dirty tactics to win elections; why the opposition continues to pretend this is the problem is hard to see! The opposition politicians have failed to come up with any coherent answers to this problem and their response is to pretend Zanu PF does not rig elections. They will keep up the pretence right up to elections day and only after the results are known they will moan of Zanu PF stealing elections, just as Tsvangirai did in 2013. <br /><br />Zimbabwe has suffered greatly because it failed to deliver meaningful political change in 2013. This nation cannot afford to have yet another rigged election. <br /><br />We know vote rigging is the NUMBER ONE problem in Zimbabwe, we must face it and refuse to let the likes of Tsvangirai lead us by the nose into another meaningless election process!Nomusa Garikaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04964205157943684601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4779437748296704455.post-51427447128555978392017-03-26T16:31:52.666-07:002017-03-26T16:31:52.666-07:00Typical of our mediocre politicians, ask them a si...Typical of our mediocre politicians, ask them a simple question and they tell you long winded tale with no beginning and no end.

NERA people are a confused lot, they talk of electoral reforms, for example, but have failed to given even one example of the electoral reform they want to see!<br /><br /><br />We are in this mess because MDC failed to implement any meaningful reforms during the GNU.

Even if she paid the nation back the $15 billion she and her husband looted, for example, that will never make up for all the suffering the nation has gone through in terms of lost economic opportunities and, even more significantly, only a fool would trust her never to do it again if she got back into power. <br /><br />My must look for quality and principled leaders in our search for a health and functional democracy. Recycling the same corrupt and incompetent rubbish under the pretext of a mythical Damascene moment is not helping us advance!
