“We have all listened to the announcement by President Jacob Zuma and we have noted what he has said and what he has announced and that is as far as we are prepared to go at this point in time and everyone in our country is free to express themselves in relation to who they will vote for and why they will vote for them and we have noted what former President Jacob Zuma has announced,” said SA President Cyril Ramaphosa.
So ANC is accepting that in SA every citizen has freedom of expression and can vote for whoever they like and yet a year ago the same party decreed that they would not allow regime change in Zimbabwe!
There is no deny that ANC has propped up the Zanu PF dictatorship for decades and place a major role in making sure Zanu PF got away with rigged 2023 elections even after the AU, SADC and even Zimbabwe’s own ZHRC condemned the process as flawed and illegal.
President Ramaphosa, just like former President Jacob Zuma, has tried to undermine the country’s democratic institution to hide ANC’s incompetence and corruption and to hang on to power. ANC’s 2022 party resolution not to allow regime change in Zimbabwe was not something out of the blue, it was the party’s fervant wish for SA.
SA’s strong democratic institutions have stopped ANC turning SA into yet another failed African nation as Zanu PF has done in Zimbabwe.
The late Nelson Mandela’s greatest legacy to SA was strong democratic institutions that 30 years after the end of apartheid has remained standing.
After 30 years in power ANC had run out of ideas on how to govern a long time ago and should have been given its marching orders years ago. Better late than never! Just reaffirming the concept that no party has the divine right to rule is a quantum leap for not only SA but for the region and the whole of Africa.
Regime change is SA would be the best thing that could possible happen in that country and the whole SADC region.

You have not commented on any of the ideas I said such as the failure to implement reforms, participating in flawed elections out of greed, etc. Instead you are attacking me. You are indeed incapable of rising above the person level. QED.

ReplyDelete“MDC was never in power - u know that. If ZPF were ok with them making reforms - why did they cheat them out of their win? Which is the same thing as we are experiencing now - ZPF are now talking openly and revealing that they lost in the August elections, hence Munangagwa wants to see complete anhilation of CCC & no challenge from NC. He’s using unconstitutional steps and you don’t see anything wrong. Shocking that you can brag about Tshabangu. How ridiculous.”
Childish.

ReplyDelete“People should focus on other better things than the SADC reports. It is important to understand that in other countries elections are held with guns shouting and not just the shout of ball points pens after the elections creating an electoral theatre of journalists. It is wise for us to embark on better things than squandering our time talking about the gone and dusted elections.”
The elections were done and dusted but the consequences of the rigged elections have remained. Zimbabwe is a failed state because we have failed to hold free, fair and credible elections and the nation is paying dearly for doing nothing to end this curse!
After 43 years of rigged elections and with the nation up to her eye-balls in the shit only an idiot would want to let this insanity to continue. It cannot be business as usual. The curse of rigged elections must be addressed as a matter of urgency.
What better things are there to do than ending the pariah state and all the tragic human suffering it has brought!
@ Bakedha
ReplyDeleteIgnoring that MDC/CCC have failed to implement even one reform these last 23 years, including 5 in the GNU, is the reason why Zanu PF is rigging elections and staying in power. You can continue to bury your head in the sand and pretend CCC will deliver change the reality on the ground will not change - Zanu PF is set to rig the 2028 elections!

ReplyDelete“Admin if this guy repeat his post as he does everyday better remove him from this Group his monotony and lies same day are disgusting.Since august he sends the same message daily.”
I did warn that without implementing the reforms Zanu PF would rig the elections and that Chamisa was lying about plugging all the vote rigging loop holes. Chamisa lied to hide the real reason why CCC was hell bent on participating in these flawed elections was greed.
You were just one of those who believed the lies and were conned into participating. Of course, it was foolish to believe such blatant lies like plugging all the vote rigging loop holes and now you want all those who warned of the folly of participating the flawed elections censored because the remind you of your foolishness. How idiotic!
Name one lie I have said?
It is insane that 43 years after independence we still cannot hold free, fair and credible elections. This must be addressed and corrected here and now. I will be damned if I will allowed myself to be silence by a nincompoop who does not even have the courage to admit he was foolish to believe Chamisa’s lies!
It is one of the tragedies of our failed political system, it has given voice and the vote to the nincompoops and now they throw the weight around. “Better remove him from this Group!” they command! Remove me for daring to speak the truth!!!!!
@ Sir Alex
ReplyDelete“I like your analysis
My question is
WHATS THE SOLUTION to the issues you have raised?”
The first thing to the people of Zimbabwe must do is accept the reality that Chamisa and his CCC are not going to implement any reforms and deliver free, fair and credible elections. This is easier said than done!
MDC/CCC have failed to implement even one reform in 23 years, 5 of which in the GNU, because they leaders are corrupt and incompetent and yet there are many out there who believe this was all mistake. They believe the issue is Chamisa vs Mnangagwa and CCC vs Zanu PF. The truth is the issue is who will implement the reforms to stop Zanu PF rigging the elections.
After 23 years including 5 in the GNU and not even one token reform to show for it; it is clear MDC/CCC are not up to the task. But to see that one must rise above the Chamisa vs Mnangagwa debate to who will implement the reforms. When you are a simple minded simpleton that is mission impossible and hence the reason it has taken 23 years and still the penny has not dropped!

ReplyDelete“Don’t you have anything different to say? Are you ok? Yes they couldn't manage to make any single reform so what? Why are you always blaming the victim not the perpetrators? Ok fine so tell us the solution.”
This is the foolishness behind why Zimbabwe is a failed state!
Zanu PF has just rigged the 2023 elections precisely because MDC/CCC have failed to implement reforms. Only an idiot who does not understand that and the consequence of yet another rigged election would say: “Yes they couldn't manage to make any single reform so what?”
MDC/CCC leaders failed to implement even one token reform in 23 years including 5 in the GNU because Mugabe bribed them with the trappings of high office including the ministerial limos, the generous salaries and allowances, a US$4 million mansion for Tsvangirai, etc., etc. How does that make Chamisa and company “victims” here?
The real victims here are the people who are suffering because Zimbabwe is a failed state and all because MDC/CCC leaders sold out by not only failing to implement reforms but by participating in flawed elections to give Zanu PF legitimacy out of greed!
The solution is self evident: stop burying your head in the sand, supporting CCC when it is clear they will never deliver change. After 23 years and not even one reform how much longer must the nation suffer before the penny finally drops in your empty head that Chamisa is NOT the best foot forward!
23 years and you still cannot see CCC leaders for the corrupt and incompetent men and women there are. We really are a cursed nation! How can anyone be so shallow, thick and slow and still be a human being!
Who has stopped you doing so these last 23 years? You said CCC was going to win big in 2023 and you had plugged all the vote rigging holes. You were lying to hide the reason why you were hell bent on participating in flawed elections was greed!
ReplyDeleteYou are lucky that Zimbabweans are an ignorant and naive people easily fooled and gullible. Zanu PF has remain in power stringing the nation along on promises of economic prosperity dating back from Mugabe's "gutsa ruzhinji" in the 1980s to Mnangagwa's Vision 2030!
And so Chamisa has come up with his own promises of change when he has failed to implement even one reform in 23 years! What matters is the herd believe him!
