Mugabe endorse rigged elections were "will of the people" after ED guaranteed fabulous wealth N Garikai


A team of top notch scientists must be dispatched immediately to Blue Roof Mansion, Harare; the task is to take and test blood samples, urine samples, test all medicine, perfume, test all the food and drinks, water, air, everything. There can be no doubt that both Robert Mugabe and his wife Grace are under the spell of some hallucinogenic drug(s). The two have started hallucinating, again!

All these years people thought the two were addicted to absolute power, a very powerful and highly addictive drug in its own right. The two had tasted absolute power and their hooked for life, the more power they had the more they wanted. Even when it became increasingly obvious that power was slipping out of Mugabe’s hands he tried desperately to hang on.

“Baba vanovata rimwe ziso rakasvunura!” (My husband now sleeps with one eye open!) Grace Mugabe confessed in September last year. She was talking about how fearful the two were of someone staging a military coup and wrestle absolute power out of their hands.

Lo behold, their worst nightmare did come true on the earlier hours of the morning of 15 November 2017; the couple were rudely awakened looking up the business end of an AK 47 rifle. Mugabe must have had his bad eye open! A few days later Mugabe signed his resignation letter as the men and women who had cowed before for 37 years were all taking turns to public denounce him and were now keen as mustard to have him impeached.

After nine months cooling off period, one had hope that Mugabe and his wife had used the time to reflect on chaos, suffering and deaths their reign of terror fuelled by their insatiable greed for absolute power and all the influence and wealth it brought, had visited on the nation. It is very disappointing therefore to discover they are back wittering the same nonsense, proof they are high on some hallucinogenic drug(s) again.

“Former President Robert Mugabe yesterday implored the nation to rally behind President Mnangagwa, saying his election victory in the July 30 harmonised elections legitimised his leadership. The remarks by the ex-president were buttressed by his wife, Grace, who said they would pray for President Mnangagwa as his leadership was God-given,” reported The Herald.

"There was an election, Zanu-PF was represented by Emmerson Mnangagwa and (Nelson) Chamisa represented MDC-Alliance and results came out saying the person who won was Emmerson Mnangagwa and I said zvava mugwara zvino," said Mr Mugabe.

"We have accepted the result and we hope that we will continue respecting the will of the people. The gun does not and should not lead politics."

What is the idiot blabbering about! The elections were rigged and he, of all the people, knows it!

Mugabe’s fear of a coup was completely justified as the November coup was the second one. The first coup in 2008 was staged by the same dirty dozen led by the same person, Emmerson Mnangagwa, to deny Tsvangirai and his MDC followers getting into power after Tsvangirai polled 73%, by Mugabe’s own Freudian slip, in the March election.

Mugabe bribed Tsvangirai and company to make sure not even one reform was implemented during the 2008 to 2013 GNU. With not even one reform in place everyone knew Zanu PF will keep on blatantly rigging the elections and that is exactly what happed in 2013 and again this year. You, Mr Mugabe, and your Zanu PF party have stayed in power these last 38 years because you have blatantly rigged the elections. It is an insult that you should insist this was “the will of the people!”

Zimbabwe is in this serious economic mess with unemployment a dizzying 90% and ¾ of our people now living on US$1.00 or less a day because the nation has been stuck with a corrupt, incompetent and tyrannical Zanu PF dictatorship for 38 years and counting. As long as nothing is done to stop Zanu PF rigging the elections it is clear the thugs will be ruling this nation for many, many more decades yet! There will be no meaningful economic recovery because investors and lenders will stay away; they do not do business with thugs.

"We used to travel using commercial flights during our tenure as the First Family. That has changed. President Mnangagwa charters a flight. It just takes us a phone call. It was a beautiful plane, a brand new Gulfstream 650 from Qatar,” said Grace Mugabe. She was praising Mnangagwa for chartering a plane to fly her back home from Singapore. 

"If I get rich I will buy such an aircraft. I have never boarded such a plane. The crew told me that I was the first person to board it. It is my dream plane. I felt comforted. VaMnangagwa comforted me. If it takes my mother's death for us to restore our old friendship, then let it be.

"VaMnangagwa loves us. He knows we love him too. We pray for him because it is God's will that he is President of the country. We pray that he be given the wisdom to lead the country."

Of course, Grace was hallucinating. The $1.4 millions wasted on the chartered plane should have been used to buy live saving drugs for the 100 000 babies now dying for lack of very basic medicines. How can making a foolish decision defying all logic be judged wisdom and “God’s will”?

Both Robert Mugabe and his wife’s hatred of first Joice Mujuru and then Emmerson Mnangagwa was total to the point of wishing the two dead whilst they were considered a threat to the president. It was a very bitter pill to swallow when Mnangagwa did seize power.

Still the two have since recovered to not only accept Mnangagwa as president but to even publicly defend the vote rigging and de facto one party dictatorship. The secret to this change of heart: they have now received concrete guarantees from President Mnangagwa that their fabulous wealth and luxurious lifestyle is secure.

The moral of this story is; our ruling elite are not just addicted to absolute power they are equally drunk and addicted to the fabulous wealth and the life of leisure and luxury. If we are serious about ending the scourge of vote rigging then we must also dispossess the filthy rich of their ill got wealth and give it back to its rightful owners – the impoverish masses. As long as we allow the rich to keep their wealth they are certain to use it to fight against all efforts to bring about any meaningful democratic change.

  1. What Mnangagwa is doing and has been doing for the last eight months is as predictable as the sun rising tomorrow - ever since taking over from Mugabe he has spending, spending, spending. His top priority has been to consolidate his hold on power and since this is a dictatorship and not a democracy he has been buying the support of those wielding the veto and completely ignored povo with their token but valueless vote.

    Zimbabwe is running out of cash, basic medicine, fuel, etc. and yet the country has spend hundreds of millions of dollars on buying new cars alone for the rich and powerful. Winning over Mugabe and his wife has not been cheap, the former tyrant and his shrew wife were very angry at being booted out of office. Mnangagwa did not give up, as we can see, the expensive gifts and reassurance that the Mugabes will continue to live a life of opulence and luxury have kept coming. Ngwena finally won them over with the US$1.4 million chartered plane, itself a promissory note of more such generosity in the future!

    With his selfish needs of fabulous wealth and life of luxury finally assured Mugabe did nit hesitate to forgive Mnangagwa for the coup and endorse him as the people's chosen president. As someone who has rigged elections and claimed they were "the will of the people" it would have been sheer hypocrisy for Mugabe to judge these elections as anything else.

    Whilst Mugabe would have been tempted to reveal how Mnangagwa rigged these elections he must have known he will be playing Russian roulette since the same dirty tricks have been used to keep him in power for 37 years and he had said nothing!

    I agree, if we are serious about dismantling the de facto one party dictatorship we must implement the democratic reforms, that is the relatively easy bit. The real challenge is overcoming the resistance to any such democratic changes that will come from the filthy rich ruling elite; they will be fighting like wild cats to keep their veto and looted wealth.

    "Taneta newe isu. DO YOU HAVE THE BLOODY PROOF OF THE RIGGING?? If not just let it go and move on pliz," you argue.

    I beg to differ with you there for three good reasons:

    1) "Taneta newe isu!" (We are tired of you!) You must either be one of the filthy rich ruling elite who do not want the status quo to change and always get hot in the collar whenever such awkward questions as: why did the nation squander $1.4 millions on a chartered plane when 100 000 babies will die because hospitals have no drugs? It is also possible you are one of the millions living in poverty but have been brainwashed into believing the poor must just suffer and die in silence and never ask such awkward questions.

    If you were one of the 90% unemployed and/or the ¾ living on US$1.00 a day with some functioning grey stuff between your ears then you will never ever be tired of hearing those demanding an end to this criminal waste of the nation's material and human resources to gratify the insatiable greed of the filthy rich ruling elite. Never ever!

    So you see, you are from the first group whose "we" constitute a tiny greed and sadistic minority whose selfish demands must be not only be ignored but challenged head-on and defeated. It is you Makoni and you lot who must shut up. You will be hearing about this corrupt and tyrannical regime and nothing else on this site.

    2) Yes there is evidence that these elections were rigged. 2 to 3 million Zimbabweans in the diaspora were denied the vote. There was massive multiple voting and hence the reason why ZEC has refused to release the verified voters' roll, etc.

    3) The notion that the country can pretend Mnangagwa won the elections and move on is foolish. We need to acknowledge these elections were rigged, why they were rigged, punish those responsible for rigging and decide on how the nation must move on from here. We have had 38 years of rigged elections and all because we failed to learn from the past and thus suffered the consequences of those who do not learn from the past - repeat the same mistakes over and over again.

    Read my lips: ZANU PF BLATANTLY RIGGED THESE ELECTIONS AND WE ARE NOT GOING TO MAKE THE SAME FOOLISH MISTAKE OF SWEEPING THE RIGGING UNDER THE CARPET! NO WAY!
