If Mnangagwa and his Zanu PF cronies had managed to get the economy back on the recovery path they would have easily got away with having blatantly rigged the 30 th July 2018 elections. Sadly for them, the economic meltdown is getting worse and worse by the day. Whilst I do agree with you that inviting Chamisa and his MDC Alliance to form the GNU was not going to bring about any meaningful economic improvement still most people would want to believe that it was the only solution.
The worse the economic situation gets the louder Chamisa and his MDC Alliance would claim they had the solution and the more people will believe them.
Still, I totally agree with you that Motlanthe Commissioners know in their hearts of hearts that Zanu PF rigged the recent elections. They also know that Zimbabwe is in serious economic trouble whose root cause can be traced back to the decades of corrupt and tyrannical Zanu PF rule. But instead of hitting the nail on the head and acknowledging the truth that Zanu PF rigged the elections and proposing a solution designed to end the curse of rigged elections, the Commissioners want Zanu PF and MDC to form a Government of Nation Unity without saying Zanu PF is illegitimate and the recent elections were a flawed and a waste of time.
It is a common African culture never to call a spade a spade especially when talking to one's elders or those in positions of power and authority. "Kukwira gumo hupoterera!" as one would say in Shona.
After 38 years of Zanu PF rigging elections and with the nation's very survival on the line the situation demanded that one spoke to both Zanu PF, MDC leaders and Zimbabweans are large in plain and simple language so there is no room for being misunderstood. Any solution in which Zanu PF and MDC leaders are going to be allowed to stay in power after all these two parties have done to land the nation into this mess is not even a painkiller but a placebo at best.
Zimbabwe is like some one like a broken limb, the limb could have been saved if something was done promptly instead of going for the easy solution of treating it as a flesh wound. Now the limb must be amputated without further delay because gangrene has set it. It is unforgivable for the patient to continue to suffer and even die because those in a position to finally do the right thing chose to administer placebo.
I hate false medicine but hate with a passion false doctors! The people of Zimbabwe have paid Motlanthe and his follow commissioner well but only to repaid with false medicine!
