Man
is supposed to be a creature of reason; how then is it possible that Zimbabweans
have completely failed to see that neither Zanu PF nor MDC Alliance will ever
get them out of the political and economic mess the country is stuck in. After
38 years of rigged elections it is shocking that there are Zimbabweans out
there who have no clue Zanu PF rigged the elections. They have no idea what
constitute free, fair and credible elections!
Nelson
Chamisa and his MDC Alliance friends should have never agreed to participate in
the elections with no reforms, to stop Zanu PF rigging the elections, in place.
Anyone with even half a brain would have seen the folly of contesting the
elections after Zanu PF had denied 2 to 3 million Zimbabweans in the diaspora
the vote. Only a first class village idiot would agree to having the elections
in which the regime refused to release a verified voters’ roll.
“Morgan
Tsvangirai made the stupid mistake of contesting the 2013 elections without the
release of the verified voters’ roll,” said Chamisa. “I will not make the same
stupid mistake!”
As
we all know Chamisa and his MDC Alliance contested the 30 July 2018 elections
with no verified voters’ roll. They went on to make the same stupid mistake
they made in 2013!
The
corollary is equally true; only a first class village idiot would even believe
that someone stupid enough to participate in a flawed and illegal election; so
flawed the authorities refuse to release the corrupted voters’ roll because
they know it is the smoking gun to the blatant rigging; would, nonetheless, be
competent to hold the office of the president of Zimbabwe!
Seeing
that neither Emmerson Mnangagwa and his Zanu PF junta nor Nelson Chamisa and
his sell-out MDC Alliance are not going to get Zimbabwe out of the
hell-on-earth the country is in should be common sense. The former got us into
the hell hole and the latter has helped keep us stuck there by failing to
implement the democratic reforms that would have ended the Zanu PF
dictatorship.
Mankind
is a creature of reason and common sense should be common to us all just as 99.99%
of us can walk, run, kick the ball etc. One does not need to be the Lionel
Messi of football intellectual thinking to see the blatant rigging in denying
those in the diaspora (30% plus of the electorate) the vote just because Zanu
PF feared they would not vote for the party. Or have Usain Bolt, bolt thinking speed
to see the stupidity of contesting flawed and illegal elections.
Zimbabwe’s
rapid fall from being one of the top five richest nations in Africa in 1980 to
the poorest nation in Africa in three decades can be attributed to many things
but top on that list is the nation’s evident lack of common sense.
In
the long run, people get the government their deserve. After 38 years of
independence we, in Zimbabwe, certainly deserve this corrupt, vote rigging and
tyrannical Zanu PF dictatorship complete with it entourage of corrupt and
incompetent opposition parties. It is not enough to say we deserve a good, competent
and accountable
Common
sense dictates that both Zanu PF and MDC have failed and therefore we need to
look beyond these two for our next government. SADC leaders hammered out a way
out of our political crisis of rigged elections by proposing a raft of
democratic reforms designed to stop Zanu PF rigging elections.
The
GNU of 2008 to 2013 failed to implement even one reform, it was a lost golden
opportunity. The challenge is to force the illegitimate Zanu PF junta to step
down to allow the appointment of an interim administration that will implement
the reforms and get the nation back on a firm democratic footing.
The
people of Zimbabwe are facing a grime choice; either to continue down the
ruinous route the nation has travelled these last 38 years. Or to snap out of the
sloth-like mental slumber, demand democratic change; the first step in the arduously
climb out of the hell-hole the nation is in.
Zimbabwe’s
problem is a man-made problem and, per se, is very easily solved by anyone,
anyone at all with common sense. Sadly, common sense is the one strand so
common in other nation but as rare as the red herring in Zimbabwe.
ZANU PF leader Emmerson Mnangagwa was yesterday sized down by a white investor who reveals he brought $500,000 into Zimbabwe and now all that money has vanished into bond notes.
ReplyDeleteYour money was used to buy all those new cars for Chiefs, for Zanu PF candidates, for chartering planes for Grace Mugabe, pay hotel bills for plane loads of hang-on accompanying Mnangagwa on his regular overseas trips, etc., etc. The regime has just rigged the elections so it can extend its stay in power to continue the wholesale looting.
Saques continua! Looting continues!

ReplyDeleteThis is a desperate situation!
If you cannot see the 90% unemployment rate, the wasting of $1.4 million chartering a plane whilst people are dying of cholera because there is no clean running water, etc. as a desperate situation then there is something wrong with you!

ReplyDelete"There is an old philosophical question that asks when exactly a certain amount of grains of sand turn into a heap. Where is the border - two grains, 100 grains, 1000 grains? We can witness something similar now here in Zimbabwe. The question is - when does a wave of arrests on corruption charges turn into a full on war on graft?"
The trouble with Zanu PF apologists like you is you always end up seeing what is not there. ED has been in power now nearly one year and the few arrested on corruption are political opponents rather than a genuine effort to go after the corrupt people. Chiwenga has built his big mansion, has a vast business empire, has his 45 gold watches, etc.; of course, he is corrupt. Why has ED not arrested him. The Chinese help ED rig the recent elections and he has allowed them back in Chiadzwa. ED himself was named in a UN report as one of the Zimbabwe leaders who looted DRC's wealth.
Saques continua! Looting continues!
You are just a foolish apologist seeing a mountain in a mole hill! So you think ED rigged the elections to end corruption? How naïve! ED is incapable of stamping out corruption no more than a leopard washing off its spots.
Finance Minister Mthuli Ncube, whose controversial Intermediated Money Transfer Tax of two cents per dollar tax has caused palpable anger among long suffering Zimbabweans and business - jumped the gun in announcing the new measures which had not yet been approved by President Emmerson Mangagwa.
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile, Ncube has said that the tax was necessary although there will be exemptions and a cap on high value transactions.
Speaking at the launch of the Transitional Stabilisation Plan this morning, Ncube said Treasury would cap the payment of the tax at the higher end while there will be exemptions on certain sectors but overall, the tax was necessary as it enables Government to plug the gap on its widening budget deficit, which perpetuated uncontrolled domestic borrowing.
When Minister Ncube was appointed many people saw him as the bright star lighting up the dark void of the Zanu PF cabinet but already Ncube has made one blunder after another. His biggest blunder was to fail to realise that Zimbabwe is still a pariah state ruled by corrupt and vote rigging thugs. There is absolutely nothing anyone can do to revive the country's economic fortunes without first resolving the country's pariah state status! NOTHING!
Having a minister who loves shooting from the hip is only going to accelerate Zimbabwe's economic collapse!
