“Presidential Advisory Council member Trevor Ncube has blamed
ordinary Zimbabweans for the step taken by the central bank to liberalise the
price of fuel by removing the 1:1 exchange rate,” reported Bulawayo 24.
“The move by RBZ caused an increase to the price of fuel on Tuesday. Ncube said Zimbabweans have been calling for the removal of the 1:1 exchange rate and they must feel the pain.”
“The move by RBZ caused an increase to the price of fuel on Tuesday. Ncube said Zimbabweans have been calling for the removal of the 1:1 exchange rate and they must feel the pain.”
"Dear Zimbabwe, I am completely outraged by your outrage
over things that you have been calling for which have just happened."
Ncube said." Your rush to be part of popular opinion and in with the
outraged crowd is so pedestrian. Yours Equally Outraged Compatriot."
If this story is true then all one can say is power corrupts and
absolute power of an illegitimate regime and its pompous and equally
unaccountable Presidential Advisory busy bodies real sucks!
If the price of fuel has gone up because RBZ and government
listened to the ordinary Zimbabweans’ demand for the liberalise the exchange
rate then why has government failed to increase the civil servants’ wages using
the same exchange rate as that used to calculate the fuel price increase.
Better still, why is the government refusing to pay the civil servants wages in
US$ as they have requested countless times.
Everything and I meaning everything about this Zanu PF
dictatorship stinks!
1) Mnangagwa
and his Zanu PF junta rigged last July’s elections after they had promised to
hold free, fair and credible elections
2) Mnangagwa
not only retained Mugabe’s dirty habit of keeping super-duper, supernumerary, undemocratic,
very expensive and utterly useless and annoying bodies like Joint Operation
Command, the junta behind the wholesale looting in Marange and Chiadzwa. But
worse still he has added other of his own; the train load of former ministers,
deputy ministers, permanent secretaries, etc. who have been put out to pasture
at their full salary and allowances. He has appoint this 24 member Presidential
Advisory Council (PAC), advising him over and above what his cabinet and the
retired former cabinet members are doing. And last week launch the Political
Actors Dialogue, a forum comprising of most of the 23 presidential candidates
and their entourage, to advise him on the same issues the PAC, etc. are advising
him!
3) The national economic
is sinking deeper and faster into the abyss than ever regardless of all this advice
or is it because of all this foolish advice. And, to crown it all, we the
ordinary citizens at the coal face of the economic chaos are being blame for
it. “I am completely outraged by your outrage over things that you have been
calling for!” How arrogant and indifferent the elephant can be to the ants it
is crashing underfoot! It is super-arrogance for a mortal to treat fellow human
beings as ants and their suffering and deaths are of no consequences!

Zimbabwe has never had free, fair and credible elections ever since the country attain her independence in 1980. We are in this economic and political mess because the nation has been stuck with a corrupt, incompetent and murderous regime that has rigged elections to stay in power. Our attempts to implement the democratic reforms and end the curse of rigged elections have been frustrated by corrupt and incompetent opposition buffoons like MDC and yourself who have failed to implement the reforms and continue to participate in flawed and illegal elections giving the Zanu PF dictatorship some modicum of legality!

ReplyDelete“This past weekend, Zimbabwe took a dramatic step towards national reconciliation. In an effort to improve the country's difficult economic situation and bring about unity among its confrontational politicians, President Mnangagwa officially launched the so-called Political Actors Dialogue (POLAD) in Harare,” you say.
“In a country burdened with a lingering economic crisis, natural disasters and economic sanctions by the West, the main aim of POLAD is to provide a platform for the exchange of political ideas and opinions in a peaceful and respectful environment.”
This is just wishful thinking. The root causes of Zimbabwe’s economic meltdown and political paralysis are the rampant corruption and the country’s skewed political system that has allowed Zanu PF to rig elections and stay in power regardless of pathetic track record of failure and tyrannical rule.
Zanu PF rigged last year’s elections and the regime is illegitimate. No one will be fooled by this gimmicky POLAD attempt to give the illegitimate regime some legitimacy! POLAD will do nothing to address the root causes of the country’s mess.
One of the reasons Zimbabwe is in this mess is that there are many Zimbabweans out there who have sold their very souls to the devil for thirty pieces of silver. Of course, Trevor Ncube knows that povo are the victims of this corrupt and vote rigging Zanu PF regime. He, just like Minister Mthuli Ncube, Kirsty Coventry and many others, is pretending that Zanu PF is the legitimate regime and is siding with the regime no matter what just because he has a seat on the gravy train.
ReplyDeleteAgain and again we have wasted one golden opportunity to end the Zanu PF dictatorship because some people sold-out and sided with the regime. Blacks are the one race who have shown this weakness of selling their own mothers for a price and even boast they had a mother to sell. It is a serious problem this nation must address and decisively!
