Why did Walter Mzembi leave his exile fox hole in SA only to be thrown in jail back in Zimbabwe?
One plausible explanation is that Walter Mzembi returned to Zimbabwe because his slush fund was spend. Others like Grace Mugabe, Saviour Kasukuwere and the other G40 leaders had put aside a lot more cash and valuable assets for a raining day from their wholesale looting in Zimbabwe. Poor Walter Mzembi’s hoard was not so well stocked and after 8 years; most of it being frugal living, no doubt; it is gone.
Mzembi did not want to take up any of the lowly paid jobs many Zimbabweans in SA and beyond have been forced to do. His pride would not allow him. He was, after all, one of Robert Mugabe’s blue-eyed ministers. He could not be seen working as a shop assistant or a chauffeur driving the boss and his family wherever they wanted to go.
We are all aware of the ill treatment many Zimbabweans have receive in SA. We have seen the video of foreigners haunted out of hospitals and clinics and worse!
I will bet my bottom dollar that Walter Mzembi was as keen as mustard to see Saviour Kasukuwere contest the 2023 presidential elections. He saw it as his ticket back to Zimbabwe and former glory. One can well imagine his disappointment when the attempt fizzled to nothing.
With no money in his pockets and his last throw of the dice for a come-back lost, Walter Mzembi had no choice but to eat humble pie and make peace with Mnangagwa. He had been too close to the Mugabes to been seen as any thing else other than a G40 leader and so the 2017 coup caught him on the hop!
Mnangagwa is not clever and that has made him insecure and suspicious of all those around him. He is paranoid and dangerous. No doubt, Walter Mzembi knew this and hence the decision why he and other G40 leaders have been living in exile. But now that he is stone broke, he had no choice but to comeback and hope for the best.
Mnangagwa has allowed him to return but before he had settled down, brewed the traditional beer and sprinkled snuff to thank his ancestors for his return, Mnangagwa throw him in jail. On top of his financial woes he has now added jail time. Life in a Zimbabwe jail is hell on earth and it is reported he now has health problems too.
Will Mnangagwa finally release now that he is a broken man or will keep him in prison to leave in a box? Time will tell!
Walter Mzembi is having a taste of some of the Zanu PF tyrannical rule and its consequences. What goes round comes round! "Aiva madziva, avamazambuko!"
Do I feel sorry for Mzembi? Frankly, no! Let this be a lesson to all the Zanu PF thugs out there, you have destroyed Zimbabwe with your insatiable greed for power and wealth thinking that your position on the looting table is secure. Mzembi and other G40 leaders thought so too until 15 November 2017 when their world was turned upside down forever!
It took 37 years before Mzembi and the other G40 leaders face their day of reckoning. The wheels of justice turn very slowly but turn nonetheless! This Zanu PF dictatorship is doomed to collapse, of that we can be certain!

ReplyDeleteWhat lured G40 leader, Walter Mzembi out of his SA fox hole straight into Zimbabwe's prison? I will bet my bottom dollar that his slush funds were spent, he was broke!
Let this be a lesson to all Zanu PF thugs, your day of reckoning will come too and you too will taste the bitter consequences of Zanu PF corrupt and tyrannical rule.

ReplyDeleteThe ancient Greeks, the fathers of democracy - government of the people, by the people and for the people - understood all those 2 500 years ago that for such a government to work THE PEOPLE must be diligent in carrying out the sacred duty of holding the elected public officials to account. And for them to do that THE PEOPLE must be educated, knowledgeable and objective.
The right to vote was therefore given to only those who can be trusted to carry out the sacred duty of diligently holding leaders to account; those who have at least one of the three qualities - educated, knowledgeable and objective.
Universal suffrage is proving to be one of our curses especially given our political leaders who have made no effort to educate the electorate. Indeed our political leaders are relishing the fact the electorate are ignorant, naive and gullible and are exploiting it to the full!
Chamisa lied to the people to con them to participate in flawed 2023 elections to give vote rigging Zanu PF legitimacy and perpetuate the people's own suffering. SURELY the people should hold Chamisa to account for this. Sadly, no! They are praising him instead!
If we want a heathy and functioning democracy we MUST have an educate, knowledgeable and objective electorate. There is no short cut to that!

ReplyDelete“In your givenness to such cheap rhetoric political deluges...I see you have also developed a chronic appetite of lacing your verbiage with lies ...... you can get away with facts and opinions but not with lies you faggot! How can you say with a straight face that the political leaders have made no effort to educate the electorate when we boast of producing hundred thousands upon hundred thousands of tertiary education graduates every year who apparently forms such a huge chunk of the electorate?”
How many people out there know what constitute free, fair and credible elections?
Zimbabwe has never ever held free and fair elections ever since the country’s independence - this is a statement of fact. And yet many Zimbabweans have participated in these flawed elections because they have no clue what constitute free and fair elections.
Yes every year Zimbabwe has hundreds of thousands of graduate from various colleagues and universities but few of them have the common sense to know what constitute free and fair elections. Very few! This is why Zimbabwe is a failed state and is stuck with this corrupt, incompetent and murderous Zanu PF dictatorship and its equally corrupt and useless MDC/CCC side-kick. Political paralysis!
