“Former Vice President Joice Mujuru and her company, Ruzirun Investments, have approached the High Court seeking an order stopping a couple she owes money from attaching her property as she fears going "under liquidation or facing multiple claims”, reported Bulawayo 24.
“Mujuru owes over US$226 000 to Sabrina and Tony Sarpo, through their company Peppy Motors (Pvt) Ltd, which is demanding the money at the interbank rate.”
How the mighty and untouchables have fallen! Or as one would say in Shona, “Aiva madziva avamazambuko!”
Zanu PF cronies have amassed vast wealth at the very time the Zimbabwe economy was in rapid decline. These cronies was other exceptionally gifted business person and swum against the economic torrent with ease. Or they were the one behind the rampant corruption which was sucking the life out of the nation and fuelling the economic meltdown. Every time these Zanu PF leaders lost their political influence their economic decline has been rapid; proof their fortunes were dependent on looting.
Mai Mujuru is not the first Zanu PF grandee to find themselves in deep economic trouble soon after losing their place on the Zanu PF top table. Didymus Mutasa’s economic troubles started within months of being booted out of Zanu PF. Others like the late Nathan Shamuyarira and Enos Nkala has their party cards to the end but died paupers after being sidelined!
Grace Mugabe will be worry sick to read of Mai Mujuru’s troubles; she knows that she is next. Ever since the November 2017 coup, she has struggled to hang on to the vast fortune she and her late husband looted. Now with the husband died, she is nothing more than a wounded goat with the hungry hyenas on her trial!
Not that I feel sorry for Mai Mujuru, Grace Mugabe and all the other Zanu PF cronies facing economic hardships; far from it. They are late comers to the real Zimbabwe of grinding poverty; they are having a taste of the consequences of gross mismanagement and rampant corruption they imposed on us, the masses, all these last 39 years.
What we should all be concerned about is ending the Zanu PF dictatorship as a matter of urgency. As long as Zimbabwe remains a pariah state ruled by this Zanu PF dictatorship; the will be no end to the gross mismanagement, rampant corruption, vote rigging, etc. There will be no meaningful economic recovery as long as this illegitimate Zanu PF regime remains in power.
Besides, the nation needs meaningful regime change a.s.a.p to stop people like Mai Mujuru and Grace Mugabe wasting the looted wealth away in their frantic effort to maintain their lavish lifestyle of bygone years. The nation needs very dollar of looted wealth to clear the ruins Zanu PF has left and rebuild the nation anew.
We owe it to ourselves and posterity to end the economic chaos and political paralysis Robert Mugabe and his Zanu PF thugs imposed on this nation. The dictatorship is collapsing, it was doomed to collapse because its reckless spending was economically unsustainable; all we need to do now is deliver the coup de grace!
Zanu PF thugs are like rats in a granary; whilst there is plenty to eat, they eat and eat and waste as much by peeing and s***ting on the grain. When the food start to run out they will fight to the death over it! Zanu PF cronies know that the good times are over the economic meltdown is affecting the poor and the rich too are being affected.
ReplyDeleteThe worsening economic situation meaning the looted wealth is having to be shared amongst more and more and therefore the cut one gets is becoming smaller and smaller. Worse still, if there was democratic change - Zanu PF's grip on power is growing weaker by the day and change is now as certain as the sun rising tomorrow - the looting will not only stop but worse still the nation will be clamouring for the return of all looted wealth.
For people like Mai Mujuru and Grace Mugabe who are desperate to hang on to their looted wealth these are worrying times - they know they will never hold on to the loot. Never!
