"When I worked with Mnangagwa, he wasn't a president &
he had no presidential qualities. I worked with Mugabe, a great nationalist but
weak policy implementer," former Zanu PF chief strategist Professor
Jonathan Moyo said on twitter.
Jonathan Moyo is a political prostitute. He now tells us that he
did not find Robert Mugabe, Emmerson Mnangagwa and Grace Mugabe to be “presidential
material” and yet he grovelled before each one of them in turn.
The truth is Robert Mugabe, Emmerson Mnangagwa and Grace Mugabe found
Moyo to be a useful prostitute but knew they would be very foolish to trusted
him.
Jonathan Moyo put his neck on the chopping block to secure the
presidency for Emmerson Mnangagwa in the now infamous Tstholotsho debacle.
Mnangagwa chicken out and left Moyo hold the bag. Judging from Mugabe’s
treatment of Mnangagwa on the matter, it would be no surprise if it was
Mnangagwa himself who warned Mugabe of the plot!
Jonathan Moyo has always wanted to be the kingmaker and he has
certainly done a lot to keep Mugabe in power and yet again and again when he
expected his hard work to be appreciated, he was again and again pushed aside. Of
course, Moyo is bitter and for good reason too; he was used by all those he worked
hard for and, in the end, discarded like used toilet paper.
"I was not in a position to stop military coup beyond
alerting President Mugabe, who was the Commander in Chief of the Defence Forces
that a coup was brewing up, even that alert was not much because I was not a
security minister and I had never been part of the JOC circle," confessed
Jonathan Moyo.
Frankly Moyo was not even part of the people in Tsholotsho. The
way he has cosied up to both Mugabe and Mnangagwa after all these two did
during Gukurahundi massacre showed for the snake in the grass he is. Here is a
man who would sell his own mother for a price and be proud he had a mother to
sell!
"And, I never saw her (Grace Mugabe) as presidential
material. My public choice was Sydney Sekeramayi." If that was a joke, I
am not laughing.
Ever since the November 2017 military coup that toppled Mugabe, Jonathan
Moyo has lived in exile. The two and half years of living in a fox-hole; he is
fearful of being forced back to Zimbabwe and face justice for all the hundreds
of thousands of dollars he looted from the ministry under his watch, for a
start; has pushed Zimbabwe’s most prolific political turn-coat over the edge. He
is now senile!
How can Sydney Sekeramayi be presidential material! The man has
done nothing, said nothing and head nothing all his four decades in high
office! He was nothing but Mugabe’s poodle!
Australopithecus Afarensis would take it as a personal insulted
to be compared to Sekeramayi! Sekeramayi President! “Mudzimu dzoka!”
Professor Jonathan Moyo and the late Nathan Shamuyarira have a lot to answer for creating Zimbabwe’s stifling political atmosphere dominated by a highly partisan public media and devoid of freedom of expression and a free press. This, above anything else, has brainwashed the nation into utter uselessness.
ReplyDeleteMugabe and his cronies have creamed off billions of dollars to build their palatial mansions, build vast business empires, bankroll extravagant lifestyles, etc. whilst the nation’s economy went to the dogs for lack of funds. Mugabe blamed the economic decline of the economic sanctions imposed of the nation by the west and other causes and stubbornly denied there was corruption and mismanagement. Only a brain-dead electorate failed to see the sheer foolishness of the excuse – why should the sanctions stop the funding of key public institutions like hospitals but have no effect on funding of the Blue Roof mansion, Mugabe’s regular trips to Singapore for health care services, etc.!
Nathan Shamuyarira died a pauper. His wife could not afford the taxi-fees so she could be by his death-bed. The afternoon he died Zanu PF officials had the potholes in the road to his house repaired and had the house painted to hide the decay, rot and poverty of the last decade.
Professor Jonathan Moyo is certainly missing the luxury of his Zimbabwe mansion and the prospect of dying in exile and a pauper must be weighing heavily on his mind. Only someone with a senile mind would ever consider Sydney Sekeramayi presidential material. If anyone was to lose a free, fair and credible election to Sydney Sekeramayi; I would disown him/her even if they were my own brother/sister.
There is some restorative justice in the late Nathan Shamuyarira dying as a pauper and now Jonathan Moyo facing a similar prospect; they are paying for their pay in denying the people of Zimbabwe their freedom to think for themselves!
