The worst constitutional coup is the systematic denial of the ordinary Zimbabwean's fundamental right to a meaningful say in the governance of the country. Zau PF has rigged elections for 46 years and counting and has managed to et away with it because the regime has always managed to manufacture a decoy to draw the nation's attention away from the dirty and serious business of rigging the elections.
Duck decoys are realistic, floating, or stationary models used to attract wildfowl by simulating a safe, resting flock. Primarily used for hunting and, in some cases, conservation, modern decoys are often made of durable, UV-resistant plastic, with specialized options like spinning-wing, jerk-rigs, or full-body models for increased realism.
The real surprise is how millions have fallen for this time and time again.
The constitutional amendment No. 3 is the latest Zanu PF decoy. The amendment started as ED2030 Agenda, a decoy to draw attention away from the fact that Mnangagwa had just blatantly rigged the 2023 elections, both SADC and AU election observers had condemned the election process as flawed and illegal. ED2030 Agenda was called for extending Mnangagwa’s stay in office beyond 2028. This outraged the naive and gullible they forgot about him being illegitimate.
ED2030 Agenda has now morphed into constitutional amendment No. 3. and is still pushing to extend Mnangagwa’s stay in office beyond 2028. The only Zanu PF member who oppose amendment No.3 are those opposed to Mnangagwa staying in power beyond 2028 because they too want to be top dog.
All the other changes in amendment No. 3 will only help Zanu PF consolidate its struggle hold on power, no Zanu PF member object to these. Zanu PF thugs are like baboons they will fight amongst themselves but when facing a common enemy, they fight as one!
Mnangagwa seeking to extend his stay in office is a double edged knife it will benefit Mnangagwa but the party too since it has successful draw attention of the rigged 2023 elections away and the whole party has benefited. On the other hand Mnangagwa has failed to revive the economy and that made the party more and more unpopular with the people. Amendment No.3 is offering the regime more vote rigging tools.
The bottom line is:
- baboons are fighting each other to stop Mnangagwa extending his stay in office beyond 2028
- the baboons are united in fighting to ensure Zanu PF rigs the next elections and get away with it!
Zanu PF thugs KNOW the amendment is serving the double purpose keeping rigged elections off the national agenda. The people do not KNOW that! After 46 years of rigged elections, 46 years of being conned with decoys and lies, the people have yet to realise they are being taken for fools.

Exactly! Chiwenga does not regret riding roughshod over the people denying them their rights. He is regretting that he trusted Mnangagwa to step down and was betrayed. Chiwenga would rig the next elections and repeat Operation Mavhotera Papi just to get into state house!
Only a fool would mistake Chiwenga's anger against Mnangagwa for a road to Damascus moment! Chiwenga is a thug and not a democratic! It is shocking how some people will airbrush history, facts and reality because they have a personality cult mentality!
@ Tony Bindura
ReplyDeleteIf Zanu PF is able to rig the next elections whether amendment No. 3 passed or not we will have the Zanu PF dictatorship in place. Whether the dictator is Mnangagwa or some one else is academic! The A1 fight is stopping Zanu PF rigging the next elections or making sure the regime does not get away with it. Amendment No. 3 is a decoy, to make sure we ignore the real important issue!
@ Freeman Chari
ReplyDeleteOn my own there is nothing l can do. I am a firm believer in the power of collective action. The reason we are building CDF openly like this is so that we can tap into the collective wisdom and power that we individually possess but is useless when we are alone.
My personal opinion is that the struggle is both legal and political. We fight in the courts, streets, diplomatically and technologically.
We need to reach our people everywhere, educate each other and begin to speak up. The change affects everybody from teachers, to soldiers to villagers. They need to know and to realize that we need them to say NO too.
We can be the voice - together. What is suicidal is resignation. We organize and DO SOMETHING! x.com/Reginaldmakune…”
Like it or not amendment No.3 is a decoy. Zanu PF does not want to discuss the scourge of rigged elections and has again and again managed to avoid this by throwing decoys.
Mnangagwa rigged 2023 elections and both SADC and AU election observers condemned the process as flawed and illegal. He immediately introduced ED2030 Agenda to draw the fire away the accusation that he is illegitimate. It worked! ED2030 has morphed into amendment No.3. The cow bone has morphed into an elephant thigh bone to a puppy!
Like it or not many people see the opposition of amendment No. 3 as the panacea to the nation’s 46 year old curse of rigged elections and bad governance. They will be lured into participating in the fight against this amendment and in like fashion lured into participating in yet another flawed election. Zanu PF will blatantly rig the election and thus perpetuate the dictatorship regardless what happens to the amendment; as I said, it is a decoy.
Our greatest duty to the nation is to educate the people and stop them repeating the same mistake over and over again. Our duty is to make sure the nation’s attention is focused on the important business of implementing the democratic reforms and end the curse of rigged elections and not waste time on trivial matters.
Constitutional amendment No. 3 is a decoy and no amount of campaigning by CDF or any group will ever change that!
Trump is like ED. Zimbabwe’s economy is in total meltdown and Mnangagwa keeps telling us Zimbabwe will become an upper middle income nation, vision 2030. How ironic, he is even using vision 2030, a mirage, to justify why he should stay in power beyond the 2028 limit!
ReplyDeleteMnangagwa and Zanu PF rigged 2023 elections. He is illegitimate and now, through amendment No. 3, is seeking to extend his illegitimacy by brushing aside the constitution.

ReplyDeleteIn Nelson Mandela, SA and ANC had a great and visionary leader. Alas! ANC leaders leaders after Mandela have been crap, to put it mildly!
Zimbabwe has had the great misfortune in having corrupt, incompetent and murderous Zanu PF founding fathers followed by corrupt, incompetent and utterly useless MDC/CCC leaders. And so Zimbabwe has suffered the triple whammy of having crap founding fathers, crap opposition leaders and crap ANC leaders as neighbours!
Zimbabwe is a failed state because the country has been stuck with the corrupt ant tyrannical Zanu PF dictatorship and its useless MDC/CCC side kick for 46 years. Zanu PF rigged elections with the help of Chamisa and company. This has nothing to do with the "western imperialist agenda" ANC Secretary General Fikile Mbalula is wittering about!

ReplyDeleteHupenzi enyama yegakava! It was VP Chiwenga and Mnangagwa who orchestrated the 2008 Operation Mavhotera Papi where millions were internally displaced, hundreds of thousands had their properties destroyed, were beaten and/or raped and over 500 were murdered in cold blood. They were punished for daring to reject Zanu PF in the March 2008 vote.
Zanu PF rigged the 2018 and 2023 elections and only an idiot would believe that Chiwenga played no part in that!
Chiwenga is on record saying saying Zanu PF will rule until donkeys grow horns!
How anyone can still stand up and say Chiwenga cares about the ordinary people beggars belief! No wonder we are a failed state, we really have some stupid , stupid people amongst us!
And yet you have failed to do anything about stopping the dictatorship for the last 26 years including the 5 GNU years when MDC had the best chance ever to end the dictatorship!
ReplyDeleteIndeed, you have participated in flawed elections, conned millions to do the same, to give Zanu PF legitimacy and perpetuate the dictatorship. You have returned to the political dance floor to do more of the same!
Chamisa will never ever bring about any meaningful democratic changes. Never! He failed to do so when these last 26n years because he is corrupt, incompetent, a liar and a conman. These are serious shortcomings that cannot be cast off like an old coat!

ReplyDeleteWhat next now Zimbabwe - the constitutional amendment No. 3 is now out for public consultation. There is a lot of confusion and chaos in the opposition camp, we are going nowhere fast!

ReplyDelete"And what did you do.
That failure is also on your shoulders."
So you do not know the difference between a private citizen and an elected public official! Fcuk me! One would have thought we have gone past these idiotic grade one stuff but clearly not!
Was Chamisa standing with the people when he and his MDC fiends failed to implement even one token reform even when they had the opportunity to do so? Was he standing with povo when he conned millions to participate in flawed elections to give Zanu PF legitimacy and perpetuate the nation’s suffering? Who any one can be so shallow, thick and slow beggars belief!

ReplyDeleteMnangagwa blatantly rigged the 2023 elections and both SADC and AU elections observers condemned the elections process as flawed and illegal. He wants to extend his stay in office beyond 2028 and knows that he rigging the next elections and getting away with it will be near impossible particularly now that both SADC and AU have already condemn the last elections. He knows that rigging the referendum will be an easier option.
By proposing extending his rule and dispensing with need for referendum he know the usual suspect will fight for referendum forgetting that is what he wanted all along.
Zimbabweans are stuck with this corrupt, incompetent and tyrannical Zanu PF dictatorship because we, as a people, have failed to learn from the past.
The Titan God Prometheus's gift to humanity of fire and wisdom was wasted on Zimbabweans!
@ Isaac Makomichi
ReplyDeleteWere Mnangagwa and Chiwenga upholding the people’s democratic wish when the orchestrate 2008 Operation Mavhotera Papi? Chiwenga wants a referendum on the amendment No. 3 because it suits his purpose. Nothing more!
We are fighting to end the Zanu PF dictatorship and not fighting to replace one dictator with another. Get that into your thick head!
Chakabaya chakachokera! Here is a case of hard wired personality cult mentality! Man is supposed to be a creature of reason but when the brain has ossified into fat there is no turning back!

ReplyDeleteThe current crop of MPs and President were elected in 2023 for a maximum 5 years term and so there must be fresh elections in 2028 - that is NOT negotiable.
President Mnangagwa cannot stand for re-election in 2028 because he has already served his full two term limits allowed by the law. Zanu PF must have some one else as its presidential candidate in 2028 elections, if the said candidate wins and assign Mnangagwa certain duties and powers tantamount to presidential powers that will be his/her decision as long as that is within the law.
There is no provision for electing a president to serve a stipulated period less than three years so that he/she does not violate the maximum two term limit. There is provision to finish off some one's term but not for starting off the elected candidate's term!

ReplyDelete"What opposition camp are you talking about n why are you not standing up to do the right thing yourself wakatiza munyikaa unodaaa kuitira Nani U just good at blaming others."
Nincompoops like you have failed to grasp the concept that ALL THOSE IN PUBLIC OFFICE ARE ACCOUNTABLE TO THE PEOPLE. And so whenever a leader is held to account, you call it blame.
When we say accountable to the people we meaning everybody - yes that includes those in Zimbabwe and outside. Nincompoops like you once again attach great importance to those inside the country as if that is a virtue. It is neither a virtue nor a vice. Being in Zimbabwe does not make one a better citizen than the one who left the country. After all they are many who are many who in Zimbabwe busy looting and committing all manner of evil!
You must address the issues raised. If you are saying Chamisa & co. did not sell out then say so. I am saying Chamisa lied and gave you the evidence. You cannot bear to hear Chamisa called a liar and conman because you consider him to be a demigod.
You are just a nincompoop. I cannot be blamed for Chamisa being a liar and a conman nor for you being a nincompoop! Chamisa will be held to account - that is not negotiable!

I have condemned Mnangagwa and Chiwenga for 2008 Operation Mavhotera Papi, for rigging the 2023 elections, for the rampant corruption, etc. None of this has registered in your idiotic mind.
You just cannot bear to hear Chamisa called a liar and a conman regardless of the evidence saying otherwise because you have a personality cult mentality. How any one can be so shallow thick and slow beggars belief!
No wonder we are a failed state. God! We have more than our fair share of nincompoops. Fcuk me! You really are a nincompoop. How is it possible that that any one can ever be this stupid. Chamisa is a mere mortal, not a demigod, for Pete’s sake.

@ Bachipeneti
ReplyDeleteChapman came back to Zimbabwe because he decided to do so. He did not need your advice. I certainly do not need your advice, especially advice from a known nincompoop like you.
You have failed to grasp the concept that leaders are accountable to the people. So you think because Chamisa formed his own political party he is, per se, not accountable to the people. Chamisa is accountable for selling out by failing to implement any democratic reforms whether I form a political party or not - that is not negotiable!
Bachipeneti, you are just a big mouth with no common sense. All you have always done is try to stifle meaningful debate and democratic discourse just as Zanu PF thugs have done these last 46 years. Nincompoops like you are curse to the nation.
Chamisa failed to implement even one token reform even when he was had the golden opportunity to do so. Of course, Chamisa must be held to account for this betrayal. The very fact that you have failed to comprehend this simple reality even now with the benefit of hindsight speaks volumes about you. Simple truths are a complete mystery to nincompoops like you!
Delete@ Patrick Perfectly
ReplyDeleteChamisa conned 2 million to participate in flawed elections to give Zanu PF legitimacy and perpetuate the dictatorship. Of course, he has a lot to account for and he will be held to account.
As far as you are concerned Chamisa is a demigod who can do no wrong. You fume and froth every time any one dares to hold Chamisa to account for all his treasonous betrayal of the nation.
Well you can fume and froth 24/7 to your dying day; you can be certain of three things:
that Chamisa is a mere mortal who has sold the nation because he is corrupt, incompetent, a liar and a conman.
Chamisa will be held to account for what he has done and failed to do , just like every one else in public office - that is not negotiable.
And I will never ever be silence by a nincompoop like you. You Patrick, you are a nincompoop, a curse to this nation. Zimbabwe is a failed nation because we have millions of nincompoops just like you!

DeleteAnd by participating in the flawed elections “so flawed, so illegal, the only logical step is to withdraw”, as David Coltart ready admitted. And yet he too has continued to participate out of greed.
“The worst aspect for me about the failure to agree a coalition was that both MDCs couldn’t now do the obvious - withdraw from the (2023) elections. The electoral process was so flawed, so illegal, that the only logical step was to withdraw, which would compel SADC to hold Zanu PF to account. But such was the distrust between the MDC-T and MDC-N that neither could withdraw for fear that the other would remain in the elections, winning seats and giving the process credibility,” confessed David Coltart in his Book, The Struggle Continues 50 years of Tyranny in Zimbabwe.
MDC/CCC leaders have been participating in these flawed elections out of greed and only a fool like you continue to ignore the reality and hang on to idiotic belief that these leaders are still fighting in povo’s corner! As I said, scum like you are the nation’s worst curse. No wonder we are a failed state.
Of course, I do not blame you for being a dimwit; you are who you are!

ReplyDelete"I have not received a loan from Zanu PF. I don’t have a farm. I have nothing that I have received from anyone except persecution, ridicule, oppression and attempted assassination.” said Nelson Chamisa in an interview The Standard 10/03/2026.
MDC/CCC leaders have failed to implement even one token democratic reform to dismantle the Zanu PF dictatorship in 26 years including the 5 GNU years. There is a mountain of evidence to prove they are breathtakingly corrupt and incompetent. And so Chamisa's statement suggesting that he is squeaky clean is a lead balloon that will never fly.
The people of Zimbabwe will kick themselves for having trusted Chamisa & co. so blindly these last 26 years and their blind trust is the root cause Zanu PF has survived and dragged the nation deeper and deeper into the abyss. The whole nation has paid dearly for the foolishness and, one hopes, the nation has learned the importance of being vigilant!
Trump has been a disaster for America. Americans have the chance to reduce Trump’s dictatorial excesses this November during the mid-term elections and they can finally boot him out of office two years later.

ReplyDeleteZanu PF blatantly rigged the 2023 elections and both SADC and AU election observers condemned the process as flawed and illegal. The only reason they did not go the extra mile and deny the regime legitimacy, as they did in 2008, is because Chamisa conned millions to participate.
After 46 years and counting of rigged elections, the nation's vowed position must be: to never ever participate in any election or referendum without first implementing the democratic reforms to ensure free, fair and credible process. Alas! Zanu PF has lured the usual suspects to break rank, the idiots are convinced they will win a referendum on the constitutional amendment No. 3.
He is participating out of selfish greed and only idiots like you believe he is doing it for the good of povo! Chamisa is corrupt, incompetent, a liar and a conman. You are the one who fumes and froth to hear the truth. My job is to make sure as many people out there know why Chamisa is participating in these flawed elections and why they must stop believing his idiotic lies!

ReplyDelete“Who choose Chigumba ,who set up ZEC,Who does Ballot printing Who houses Zec and Who authorised Midnite Results reading where does Chamisa come in Varakashi have noBrains they just do what they are paid for Chamisa this Chamisa that rubbish.”
So you agree the election process is flawed and illegal. The question you should be asking is why has Chamisa insisted in participating in the flawed elections? Why has he lied about plugging all vote rigging loop holes?
You are right to be concerned about rigged elections what you have failed to do is to see that Chamisa is not fighting in polo’s corner. The spirit is willing but the intellect is weak.
