Tsenengamu and Matutu showed a lot of courage to publicly denounce the corrupt leaders and their cartel fronts. Most people knew these people but naming and shaming them is another ball game. The two Zanu PF youth leaders named and shamed the corrupt leaders and their acolytes! Zimbabweans saluted the two youths for the courage and rightly so too.
However, the two young men and their band of followers' proposal to force Mnangagwa and Chamisa to meet and have the political dialogue is a foolish suggestion and must be dismissed with the contempt it rightly deserve. The nation has had this proposal thrown around for the last one and half years and no one has given a satisfactory explanation of what the dialogue will accomplish.
Chamisa say the dialogue will result in "a shared vision and the implementation of comprehensive reforms to stop a repeat of disputed elections". He does not say how he will get the reforms implemented given that Zanu PF has its 2/3 parliamentary majority.
Professor Welshman Ncube, one of Chamisa’s three MDC VPs, acknowledged that MDC has failed to stop Zanu PF pushing through constitutional amendments given the latter’s 2/3 parliamentary majority.
"That is a part of the problem because we-the-people must always be slow to give any political party that much power but we gave them, now they are changing the constitution without any consultative consensus process. The amendments went through Zanu-PF processes, go to Cabinet then afterwards a bill emerges, which we see for the first time when it has been published. That is problematic," argued Professor Ncube.
The idiot has conveniently forgotten that the electorate did not give Zanu PF the 2/3 majority; the party rigged the elections to grand itself the majority. Worse still Professor Ncube and his MDC friends KNEW that without the reforms Zanu PF would rig the elections and that by participating MDC would be giving “credibility” to the elections, as David Coltart, MDC senator and the party’s treasurer, admitted in his book.
What is clear is the proposed political Mnangagwa and Chamisa dialogue will end with the formation National Transition Authority (NTA), a power sharing arrangement in which Chamisa and a few other MDC leaders will get gravy train seats in the cabinet. Zanu PF will retain its parliamentary majority since MDC has never disputed the parliamentary results.
The NTA is but a watered down version of the 2008 GNU, that failed to implement even one reform. It is therefore very naive to believe that the NTA will do get any reforms implemented and yet that is exactly what MDC would want us to believe.
The MDC 2020 Angenda, launched on 21st January 2020 is founded on the argument that MDC will force parliament, one way or the other, to implement comprehensive democratic reforms the nation has been dying for. This is of course nonsense, given Zanu PF controls parliament, as VP Ncube has admitted above.
In other words MDC leaders know that the Zanu PF controlled parliament will never ever implement the reforms, Zanu PF will never ever reform itself out of office. MDC leaders are deliberately misleading the people promising them change they know will never ever come. This is MDC’s contribution to this deliberate and calculated deception, the “mugodoyi narrative”, as Professor Jonathan Moyo would put it.
It is not at all clear whether Tsenengamu and his fellow Zanu PF youths understand that the political dialogue they are proposing will lead to an NTA and a political dead end is another matter. What is particularly objectionable in that they are now using their bullying tactic, no doubt learnt from their Border Gezi camp days, to ram the NTA down the nation’s throat.
“If you (Mnangagwa) could sit down and negotiate with Ian Smith, what is stopping you from sitting down with your fellow countryman Nelson Chamisa?” argued Godfrey Tsenengamu.
"The solution to Zimbabwe's problems lie within all Zimbabweans but we have to be honest and accept that the Zimbabweans for now are in two places, in MDC and Zanu-PF.
"The solution to this problem is on the two political parties because they are also part of the problem, not because they are saints or geniuses but because those who create a mess are best to solve it.
"The mess we find ourselves in are on the shoulders of our two dear political parties. Why is it difficult for them to meet? Does it require for Zimbabweans to get into the streets and demonstrate?”
Yes Zimbabweans are in “two places, in MDC and Zanu PF” but not out of choice. Zimbabwe has a monolithic, corrupt and tyrannical political system, devoid of open debate and democratic competition, it is no surprise the only leader available are corrupt, incompetent, sell-outs and murderous thugs. Zimbabwe is but a sewage pond whose foul smelling water is pond devoid of oxygen; only crocodiles and frogs thrive there.
The argument that “those who create a mess are best to solve it” is as fallacious and stupid as they get especially in this case when those who created the mess are profiting from it! There is no denying that both Zanu PF and MDC ruling elite are filthy rich at the expense of the masses who are wallowing in abject poverty.
Indeed, Mnangagwa and his Zanu PF cronies rigged the July 2018 elections, denying the people a meaningful say in the governance of the country, in pursuance of this ethos that Zanu PF alone is the party of government, it knows best what is good for the nation. This is the Zanu PF cont idiotic narrative, “mugodoyi” narrative, to justify the continued imposition of corrupt, tyrannical and vote rigging Zanu PF dictatorship.
The rational solution is for the nation to implement the democratic reforms designed to dismantle the de facto one-party Zanu PF dictatorship and restore the individual freedoms and rights including the right to free, fair and credible elections.
Dismantle the dictatorship masquerading as new dispensation, second republic and replace it with a healthy and functioning democracy. Drain the Zanu PF sewage pond and fill it with clean oxygenated water. Quality leaders, like fish in clean water, will emerge and thrive; they will clean up the economic and political mess we have been stuck in, these last 40 years.
Since Zanu PF and MDC leaders are not going to implement the democratic reforms, drain the sewage pond; they created the economic and political mess and are profiting from the mess. We must appoint a competent and independent body, free from the two political parties’s corrupting influence, to implement the removes!
Zimbabwe has recorded an unprecedented number of women reporting being forced to exchange sex for employment or business favours.
ReplyDeleteMore than 57% of women surveyed by Transparency International Zimbabwe (TIZ) said they had been forced to offer sexual favours in exchange for jobs, medical care and even when seeking placements at schools for their children.
This is the heavy price the nation must pay for failing to do something to stop Zanu PF destroying the nation's economy and driving millions into abject poverty and despair.
WFP’s support to refugees in Zimbabwe faces ongoing funding shortfalls. The Republic of Korea’s contribution comes in the wake of an urgent plea for funds by WFP, which is working to provide 4.1 million people in Zimbabwe with emergency food assistance amid the country’s current hunger crisis. At present, more than 7.7 million people – or half of Zimbabwe’s population – is food insecure. More than US$200 million is still required for WFP to provide people with life-saving food aid during the peak of this year’s lean season (Jan-April 2020).
ReplyDeleteThe United Nations World Food Programme – saving lives in emergencies and changing lives for millions through sustainable development. WFP works in more than 80 countries around the world, feeding people caught in conflict and disasters, and laying the foundations for a better future.
It is tragic that Zimbabwe has gone from the bread basket of the region to the basket case Banana Republic! We now are a nation dependent on food aid even in the years when there is no drought.
It the on going divorce saga between VP Chiwenga and his wife, he said one of the six posh car she is demanding from him was bought with “command agriculture funds”. It is little wonder the nation spends billions of dollars every year on these ill-thought out agricultural programs, a conduit for looting, only to get back a few million dollars worth of produce!
Until we stand up and demand free, fair and credible elections, Zimbabwe will continue to sink deeper and deeper into this hell-on-earth of our own making.
@ Nomazulu Thata
ReplyDeleteI cannot help but comment on the renaming of streets in Bulawayo Town. I was so shocked to realize that my father was totally forgotten from the list of those whose names have been recognized in renaming the streets of Bulawayo. I am totally flabbergasted and dismayed about this loss of foresight. Is this lack of recognition by default? How do they recognize Cecil John Rhodes and Leander Star Jameson and leaving my father one of the first Zapu freedom fighters ever to get training in Libya?
Daddy Zephaniah Sihwa: largely known as ZK, was one of the first freedom fighters trained in Libya by Zapu back then in 1963. When he arrived home from his training, he was incarcerated by the Rhodesia government was put in prison and saved ten years together with all those stalwarts and revolutionary fathers and mothers back then: Joshua Nkomo, Robert Mugabe just to mention those he served with at Gonakudzigwa prison. Why is my father's name not mentioned anyhow, is his contribution to the struggle forgotten?
I think you father is spinning in his grave, together with the other hundreds of thousands, if not millions of sung and unsung liberation heroes and heroines; just to see what has become of the nation their risked their lives and limbs to free from white colonial oppression and exploitation.
Where is the joy in having a hospital named after you, Parerenyatwa Hospital, when the institution is in such a sorry state the country’s ruling elite are flying half-way round the world to have a routine eye check and to die! Only the poor use the hospital only to die of even the easily treatable ailment because there are no doctors, no nurses, no medicine, no equipment, no running water, no electricity, etc., etc.
Since Zimbabwe has not built an new road for donkey years and many of the existing once are is a sorry state; Mnangagwa has resorted to naming the few remaining road after himself!
I suggest we name all graveyards and sewage ponds in every city, town, growth point and village after Mugabe, Mnangagwa and all the other Zanu PF murderers and thugs since they are the ones who have turned this beautiful country into a s***t house and

ReplyDelete“As if celebrating the 1 August 2018 disturbances which rocked Harare at the behest of the MDC, the US State Department added Zimbabwe's Ambassador to Tanzania, Major General (Rtd) Anselem Sanyatwe to the sanctions list. Ambassador Sanyatwe was punished for pre-empting the US shenanigans as the third hand behind the August 2018 post election violence after the MDC realised that they had lost the election and their horse Nelson Chamisa lost the race and was rejected by the electorate.”
Zimbabwe’s economic situation is getting worse and worse because the country is a pariah state governed by corrupt, incompetent, vote rigging and murderous tyrants. Zanu PF is feeling the heat and its propaganda machine is going into overdrive in the hope to shift the blame for the economic hardship to sanctions. The regime is paying POLAD leaders US$4.5 million to travel the world and spread the nonsense that sanctions are hurting the Zimbabwe economy. Just a waste of money!
Zanu PF rigged the July 2018 elections confirming Zimbabwe’s status as a pariah state and that is the root cause of the worsening economic meltdown, not the sanctions.
It is great to hear the Americans are reviewing the sanctions with a view to make them hurt those on the list! The sanctions are a pressure point on those who rig elections, they must stay until there are free, fair and credible elections.
"We thank them for that. We have brilliant boys and girls in this country. Going forward, we can see that our country is going to be transformed by inventions by our children and skills from our children. We are a developing country but we should not cry that we have sanctions imposed on us. We should look at what God has given us and develop our country. Those who want to come and assist us, they should do so on our own terms,” said Mnangagwa.
ReplyDelete"We don't want them to come and lecture us or rule us. They should rule their countries and we rule ours. This is our country. To you the school children, we will do our best as Government to make sure you are exposed to modern science and technologies because the future of this country lies in science and technology, in yourselves creating employment, jobs and products and services for the nation. The future is upon you. It's your duty to develop our country for it to be at par with other countries.”
“We should not cry that we have sanctions imposed on us!” cried Mnangagwa! As soon as he had finished his speech, he was crying again and no one dared ask why; we all guessed why! These are crocodile tears, of course. Zimbabwe’s economic meltdown is not caused by sanctions, as he would have us believe, but by decades of gross mismanagement and rampant corruption.
He cried when he mentioned sanctions to make us believe he had been moved to tears by the ill effects of economic meltdown brought on by sanctions. He cried after the speech because he felt sorry for himself - he knows many people know corruption is the number one problem, know he is one of corruption’s Godfathers and they hate his hypocrisy.
At the Simon Muzenda Street Bus Terminus in Harare, Defence and War Veterans Affairs Affairs Minister Oppah Muchinguri-Kashiri said: "Our constitution is very clear and very explicit that we want to keep our environment very clean for our benefit as a current generation, but also we need to keep that environment clean for future generations.
ReplyDelete"We are very happy that our President Cde Mnangagwa is a lawyer and takes the issue of constitutionalism seriously. That is why he is taking the lead to ensure that we clean our environment. This will ensure that we breathe clean air and also we will enjoy clean water. So it is important to know that an environment which is clean guarantees people good health.”
The hypocrisy of the statement stinks; she should just call herself Oppah Skunk!
Mnangagwa got into power by staging a military coup in November 2017. Eight months later he blatantly rigged the elections deny the nation a chance to elect a competent government and end the decades of corrupt and tyrannical Zanu PF dictatorship. On the 1 st August 2018 he ordered soldiers to shoot to kill the protesters who had dare to object yet another rigged election. In January 2019 he was at it again, this time shooting those protesting the worsening economic situation. All these are serious crimes, high treason against the nation. How can such a ruthless thug be said to “take the issue of constitutionalism seriously”?
"The solution to this problem is on the two political parties because they are also part of the problem, not because they are saints or geniuses but because those who create a mess are best to solve it,” said our Zanu PF upstart, Tsenengamu.
ReplyDeleteI would argue that the view that Zanu PF must still remain the party of government regardless of the party’s pathetic track record in government and that people who have voted the party out many moons ago is a widely held view born out of fear that if Zanu PF was not in power the party will make the country ungovernable.
Yes, the country is in a real mess today with the economy in total meltdown and millions now living in abject poverty and yet Zanu PF can make things even worse. The party has always had Zanu PF militia, rogue war veterans, there is talk of the party leaders being behind the machete wielding gangs terrorising the nation and in the early 1980s it was the Fifth Brigade and we all know what they did.
Put the fear aside and the people will boot Zanu PF out. The unity of purpose achieved by SADC leaders during the GNU would had forced Zanu PF leaders to accept meaningful democratic change, it is a great pity that the local partner, MDC was not up to the task hence the reason the latter failed to get even one reform implemented.
By participating in these flawed and illegal elections MDC and its fellow opposition friends are the ones re-enforcing the notion that Zanu PF and Zanu PF alone MUST rule Zimbabwe by allowing Zanu PF to rig the elections as long as they get the scraps. The opposition are no more than jackals at the lions’ kill, they are quite happy with the scraps.
The only sure way to have the democratic reforms necessary for free, fair and credible elections is by appointing a competent and independent body to implement the reforms, I agree with you 100%. Zanu PF rigged the 2018 elections and maximum pressure must be brought on the regime to step down. The EU, Americans, Commonwealth and many others have refused to accept Zanu PF as the legitimate government, we must get SADC and AU to join. The worsening economic situation is piling the pressure on the regime.
We must expose MDC and their POLAD friends for the sell-outs they are and that they no long represent anyone but themselves.
@ Lovemore Sibanda
ReplyDelete“How are we going to get Zanu PF to step down, is the question?”
Good question. The simple and quick answer to that is with a great deal of effort and sacrifice. What the article above has done is explain why MDC’s 2020 Agenda is a waste of time. The nation wasted 2013 to 2018 chasing MDC’s mythical five legged hare, started with the “No reforms, no elections!” and ended with “MDC has stringent measures to stop Zanu PF rigging the elections!” We would be very foolish to fall for that nonsense again.
The Americans, the EU, the Commonwealth and many others refused to accept the July 2018 elections as free, fair and credible. So they consider this Zanu PF regime as illegitimate. We just need Zimbabweans themselves to say the same thing and mean it!
We also need to acknowledge the political reality that MDC and their fellow POLAD friends betrayed the nation by participating in an election know Zanu PF was rigging and thus giving the process some modicum of credibility. MDC and their fellow POLAD friends have long abandoned the fight for free, fair and credible elections. They are after the scraps Zanu PF gives away as bait to maintain the facade of democratic elections whilst it rigs the elections.
There have been many, many golden opportunities in the last 40 years to end the Zanu PF dictatorship; we have wasted each and everyone of these opportunities because we did not even see them. We have no clue what is going on because we have not even made the effort to find out. We, the people of Zimbabwe, are our own worst enemy.
In the long run, nation get the government they deserve. We certainly deserve this corrupt, incompetent, vote rigging and murderous Zanu PF ruling party complete with its entourage of equally corrupt and incompetent opposition parties, all 130 plus of them!
Chamisa said Mnangagwa is the one delaying the talks perhaps because he is not interested in talks with the opposition.
ReplyDelete“I was in South Africa recently and president Mbeki said he is waiting for Mnangagwa since December, but he has not communicated back to him ever since,” Chamisa said. “He has tried to communicate with him but he has not communicated back.”
These talks will lead to the Zanu PF and MDC power sharing arrangement and formation of the National Transition Authority, a watered down version of the 2008 GNU that failed to implement even one democratic reform. Not one!
The Zanu PF control parliament will never implement any meaningful reforms. Zanu PF will never reform itself out of office.
The nation wasted 2013 to 2018 chasing MDC’s mythical five legged hare, starting with the “No reforms, no elections!” and ended with “MDC has stringent measures to stop Zanu PF rigging the elections!” We would be very foolish to fall for this five-legged hare nonsense again.
Chamisa is desperate for the NTA; he and a few MDC leaders will get cabinet position and thus secure a gravy train seats.
If Zanu PF is allowed to remain in power till 2023, the party will rig the 2023 elections. The challenge is to get Zanu PF to step down, the party rigged the 2018 elections (with the help of MDC and its fellow POLAD friends) and therefore has no mandate to govern.
A British businessman was spotted walking out of Education minister Cain Mathema’s London meeting below.
ReplyDeleteSurprised that these guys continue to wear the multi-coloured scarf symbolising the "Zimbabwe is open for business!" mantra. The mantra is dead in the water. By blatantly rigging the 2018 elections Zanu PF confirmed that Zimbabwe was still a pariah state ruled by corrupt, incompetent, vote rigging and murderous thugs. No one is that foolish to want to do business with in a pariah state.
Mutsvangwa claimed that some southern African countries were also not happy with Trafigura’s monopoly over the pipeline.
ReplyDeleteThe former war veterans minister said Trafigura’s activities had allegedly caused turmoil in Zanu PF and angered businesses around the region.
“Typical of all monopolies, the Sakunda cartel has engendered the ire of a phalanx of enemies,” he said.
“There is the outrage of Zanu PF youths and their stolen prospects of a better future, jealous of peer global fuel traders.
We have failed to end corruption and mismanagement in Zimbabwe because the godfathers of the corruption are the ones in office, they have absolute power including the power to end the corruption. They do not want corruption to end because they are the ones profiting from it.
If we are serious about ending corruption, mismanagement and lawlessness then we must first end the curse of rigged elections which has allowed the corrupt, incompetent and murderous tyrants to stay in power these last 40 years!
During the 2008 to 2013 GNU, we had the best chance ever to end the Zanu PF dictatorship, MDC leaders sold-out big time and we wasted it!
If MDC and its fellow POLAD traitors did not participate in the July 2018 elections then Zanu PF’s illegitimacy would have been never in doubt and the pressure on the regime to step down would have been immediate.
Zanu PF’s long stay in power is a result of our own failure to be informed what is going on. Many Zimbabweans have no clue what the 2008 GNU was about, even now with the benefit of hindsight, for example. It is little wonder both Zanu PF and MDC have destroyed the country and shared out the spoils!
The Sunday Mail today opened with a screaming story alleging that the US thinktank The Rand has concluded a paper saying ZANU PF leader Emmerson Mnangagwa will win the 2023 elections.
ReplyDeleteThe Sunday Mail’s story was also emphasised by government spokesman Nick Mangwana.
But below are the real conclusions of the findings in the report – which are totally opposite those in the state media print. They are:
1) Politics and economics are inextricably linked in Zimbabwe Genuine reform is unlikely under present economic and political conditions in Zimbabwe in the lead-up to national elections in 2023.
2) Zimbabwe is likely to continue down a path of political polarization, protests, political violence at the hands of the state, and economic deterioration.
3) The Mnangagwa government continues to prevent and violently suppress political protests, and the media remain heavily biased in favor of the ruling party.
4) Few tangible steps have been taken toward reconfiguring Zimbabwe’s autocratic system.
5) Despite a brief government surplus and the introduction of a new currency aimed at curbing inflation, the economy is again close to collapse.
6) Genuine reforms would go a long way toward putting Zimbabwe on a democratic path, lessening high levels of political polarization, and repairing the collapsing economy.
Frankly, we did not need the think tank to tell us what has been obvious for decades now, if we only bothered to open our eyes and minds. For the last 40 years Zimbabweans have buried their heads in the sand and refused to see what was happening. Zanu PF thugs have rigged elections since 1980 and we have pretended the regime did nothing wrong because admitting Zanu PF had rigged the elections would have put us under immediate pressure to do something about it.
We did not want to face the challenge of holding Zanu PF to account for the treasonous act of rigging the elections. Soon Zanu PF was committing other serious crimes, mismanagement, corruption, political murders, more blatant vote rigging, etc., etc. We let the evil gene out of the bottle and there was no putting it back!
Chamisa and his 2020 Agenda is a waste of time because all the proposals are premised on Zanu PF remaining in power or be it sharing the power with MDC. Zanu PF will never implement any genuine reforms.
The only hope for any genuine reforms being implemented is if Zanu PF is forced to step down. The party rigged the 2018 elections and it is not too late to hold it to account!
@ Tawanda Manjoni
ReplyDeleteYou see, corruption is a celebrated achievement in Zanu-PF. On a scale of one to five, almost every person who makes it to the top in Zanu-PF is dirty. That gives the probability that, even as they were loudly denouncing corruption, Matutu and Tsenengamu remain as dirty as they come.
They forgot to mention, again hypocritically, that when Tagwirei was given near-absolute control of the national oil pipeline from Mozambique, it's not as though he was aiming a bazooka at the president, cabinet, procurement authorities and what not. With such things, it takes dozens to tango. So, instead of sounding as though Tagwirei is alone in this, they must have told the real truth, starting by accusing their very president. But they didn't.
They forgot, too, to mention that there was no way in which Tagwirei and his Sakunda cohorts could have been repeatedly given the command agriculture contract. This is a scheme that's supervised straight from the Office of the President and Cabinet.
And their biggest omission, no doubt, was not to mention that, in reality, people like Billy and Tagwirei are, in fact, richly-rewarded runners for the big guys in politics. They are the guys who funded the politicians' election campaigns and are eating what they sowed. So, when the boys addressed their pressers, they were supposed to start by saying, "This press conference is to express our bitter disappointment with Mnangagwa, his deputies, Cabinet and the rest of the guys in Zanu-PF who are responsible for our misery”
Another very informative piece, thank you.
I found the insistence by the two Zanu PF upstarts that Zanu PF and MDC made the mess and we, the people, must allow them to solve the mess. A very foolish argument particularly when these guys are the ones profiting from the mess and, not surprising, after 40 years the mess is getting worse and not better!
We are not going to go anything to end corruption without first ending the curse of rigged elections and end the absolute power the Godfathers of corruptions enjoy.

ReplyDelete“Lets organise communities forums ,like HRA ,BRA ,GRAeven in rural areas lets have these forums then ZANU will be history all these residents associations will bring people together.”
Go ahead, organise the commute forms in the rural areas. I will tell you the idea is not new, opposition parties and candidate have tried without much success because Zanu PF had the head start, has resources to bribe the people with and most important of all has the party thugs, rogue war veterans, traditional leaders and even the state security personal with which to intimidate the populous into submission.
Yes we must try other methods but most important of all we must not give up our right for free, fair and credible elections. Tsenengamu and his “mugodoyi” fallacy argument is asking the nation to accept Zanu PF’s continued ruled ignoring the fundament fact that the party rigged the July 2018 elections and has no mandate to govern.
Zimbabwe would not be in this mess if the nation had condemned the rigged July 2018 elections and demanded the results be declared null and void.
“It’s Expensive”: Govt Reveals Why Visitors From Coronavirus Affected Areas Are Not Quarantined.
ReplyDeleteOf course, it is expensive to set up quarantine facilities and keep the suspect cases there. But it will be even more expensive if nothing is done and there is a corona virus outbreak. With the country's health care services all but dead, it will take weeks if not months to discover that there is a corona virus out break and by then it will have spread to hundred of thousands of people!
The truth is this Zanu PF regime is now 100% focused on how to stay in power at all cost and does not give a damn the millions are suffering and dying. The UN through its WFP wing stepped in to source food to feed 7.7 million Zimbabweans facing starvation. Zanu PF government was doing nothing about it! NOTHING!
It is our responsibility as Zimbabwe to make sure we have a competent and accountable government. The country is is this man-made hell-on-earth precisely because the country has been stuck with a corrupt, incompetent and tyrannical regime for the last 40 years. How long are we going to allow this circus to continue?
When president Emmerson Mnangagwa came to power, he made a number of promises which he said would be fulfilled within his first five-year term.
ReplyDeleteMnangagwa pledged to put job creation first; have zero-tolerance to corruption; establish a modern, affordable healthcare system for all; develop infrastructure worthy of the new Zimbabwe, and generate unprecedented educational and employment opportunities for our youth.
Mnangagwa made the promises but clearly he did not have the intellect to know what it would take to deliver on any of the promises. And now, as one would expect from the man of his little intellect, he does not see he is a failure much less admit.
Frankly Mnangagwa has long forgotten about his promises and is now occupied with the challenges of holding on to power at all cost. He is obsessed about power, he is determined to hang on regardless the tragic human suffering his failed rule is causing to the nation. He is prepared to kill to stay in power and as, we know, he has killed many, many people in his days including the Gukurahundi massacre and, more recently, the 1 st August 2018 and January 2019 shoot to kill!
The real challenge is how long are we, the people of Zimbabwe, going to allow Mnangagwa and his cronies ride roughshod over our freedoms, rights, dreams, human dignity and even the right to life!
Nations get the government they deserve. We certain deserve this Zanu PF dictatorship complete with its entourage of corrupt and utterly useless opposition parties.
Many people were surprised that SADC leaders were foolish enough to endorse Mnangagwa's discredited mantra of blaming Zimbabwe's economic meltdown on sanction instead of the obvious causes of corruption and bad governance. It is pleasing to note that the AU leaders were not that naive and foolish to go along with this Mnangagwa nonsense.
ReplyDeleteAt their SADC summit last year the regional leaders tasked the SADC Secretariat to lobby the AU to demand the lifting of the economic sanctions imposed on Zimbabwe. The AU leaders must have received the request and have ignored it.
The Cabinet meeting which was as per custom due on Tuesday has been postponed to Wednesday this week.
ReplyDeleteIt is cynical but nonetheless true to say that whether the meeting was cancelled altogether it would not make bit of difference to the chaos in Zimbabwe! After 40 years of corrupt, incompetent and tyrannical rule, the country is dying for good governance.
