@ YW4ED
The ancient Greeks were right, democracy - government of the people, by the people and for the people - only works if the said people are diligent in holding the leaders to account, their sacred duty. The Greeks realised that for the people to be trusted to carry out this duty they must be educated, knowledgeable and objective.
The Greeks granted right to vote to only those who would diligently hold leaders to account - that is not negotiable.
Giving the vote to people with the personality cult mentality is the very antithesis of whom the ancient Greeks' diligent voters. In Boxer, the horse, George Orwell paints a portray of one with a personality cult mentality. Boxer adopts "Napoleon is always right!" as his personal motto. The sacred duty of diligently holding the leaders account is out of the window.
In Zimbabwe VaPositori4ED, Young Women4ED, etc., have all shown this personality cult mentality. The Zanu PF regime has encouraged this by bankrolling the activities of these groups. And the groups have in turn promoted the glory of ED at the expense of the good of Zimbabwe.
“Your Excellency, we remain a proud affiliate of ZANU PF and committed to contributing to the country’s development agenda. We have established Mukando Clubs across all provinces, creating platforms for savings, investment, empowerment and economic participation.
We sincerely appreciate the support of the ZANU PF Women’s League and the partnerships that have enabled communities and young women to benefit from our empowerment programs, including access to houses, vehicles and other economic opportunities.
We also extend our profound gratitude to our Patron and First Lady, Amai Dr. Auxillia Mnangagwa for her continued leadership and advocacy for the empowerment and prosperity of women and young people.
Your Excellency, YW4ED fully supported Constitutional Amendment Bill No.3 recognising its importance in creating a longer and more coherent development cycle for Zimbabwe.
Our country continues to transform under your leadership. Zimbabwe is becoming increasingly beautiful and prosperous because of your vision, leadership and commitment to national development.”
Here we go! Only some one with the personality cult mentality would fail to see that CAB3 is consolidating Mnangagwa and Zanu PF’s dictatorial powers at the expense of good governance.
Zambian government of President Hakainde #Hichilema finally charges his main political rival and opposition leader, Brian #Mundubile and his running mate, Makebi Zulu, with treason. Both remain detained at Lusaka Central Police Station.
ReplyDeleteMundubile and Zulu had gone into hiding at the United Nations in Lusaka until Thursday when they were handed over to police.
Hakainde's government has accused Mundubile of being connected to the alleged plot after he was reportedly found at the scene where authorities said “high-grade military weapons,” ammunition and other materials allegedly intended for an armed insurrection were seized.
It was at this scene, the Lusaka residence of President Hichilema’s political rival, Brian #Mundubile, that #Zambia’s security forces reportedly shot and killed former Minister Mutotwe Kafwaya during a shootout.
Mundubile has denied the allegations.
The treason charges now revive memories of President Hichilema’s own turbulent history with Zambia’s treason laws.
He spent more than three months in a high-security prison after being arrested and charged with treason during a political confrontation with then-President Edgar Lungu.
Hichilema was, at the time, the country’s leading opposition figure and a direct political challenger to Lungu.
Now, as President, Hichilema’s government is pursuing treason against another opposition figure under the same treason laws that once threatened Hichilema’s own political future.
The circumstances and allegations are not identical, but the political parallel is striking!
The irony is hard to miss.
Would the UN have released the two to the Police if they knew these were tramped up charges?

The Young Women 4ED (YW4ED) have put up a show. No expenses spared. The generous funding coming from Presidential Empowerment Fund, directly or indirectly.
Mnangagwa, in his X handle would have us believe the ED stands for Economic Development and the young women are getting all this generous funding because they are "leaders grounded in deep patriotism and a heart for servant leadership". Bulls***t!
YW4ED leader admitted the group is "a proud affiliate of ZANU PF and supported CAB3". Cab3 has extended Mnangagwa's stay in office by a further 2 years and consolidated Zanu PF's dictatorial powers.
Zimbabwe is a failed state precisely because the nation has been stuck with this corrupt, incompetent and tyrannical Zanu PF dictatorship for 46 years and counting. CAB3 is giving the regime even great dictatorial powers and thus dragging the nation even deeper into the abyss. How anyone can pretend this will bring ED (Economic Development) beggars believe.
YW4ED is one of the many groups who are well funded because they are committed to promote policies such as CAB3 glorifying Emerson Dambudzo (ED) Mnangagwa at the expense of the good of Zimbabwe!
@ NewsDay
ReplyDeleteMoney laundering cost Zimbabwe US$6.5 b in five years!
Vision 2030 is a mirage! No nation has ever prospered with so much criminal waste of resources!
It is important to underline that it is not only Mnangagwa who term in office is being extended here. MPs and senators too are extending their terns in office from 5 years to 7 years!
ReplyDeleteTwo, this is the third coup Mnangagwa is involved in the first one being the 2008 electoral coup and second 2017 military coup. He was never held to account for the first two and must not be allowed to get away again this time!
@ D Coltart
ReplyDeleteColtart wittering and shedding buckets of crocodile tearsover fire engine corruption.
We must never forget that Coltart was himself an MDC minister and the MDC sold out by failing to implement even one reform during the GNU. And ever since the GNU debacle these MDC/CCC leaders have participated in flawed elections to give Zanu PF legitimacy and thus perpetuate the dictatorship out of greed. And to crown it all Coltart & co. know it.
“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 (2013) 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.
The real tragedy in Zimbabwe is that Coltart & co. are Zanu PF team B in all but name, playing for team A to win, to have legitimacy and thus perpetuating the masses’ suffering for a share of the spoils of power. Meanwhile the suffering masses continue to trust and blindly follow these MDC/CCC impressed with their public condemnation of Zanu PF corruption and buckets of crocodile tears shed!
Why millions of Zimbabweans are so ignorant, naive and gullible that they readily believe idiots lies and conned again and again to do stupid things is the nation’s worst curse!
@ War veteran
ReplyDelete"Giving war veterans bicycles is an insult!"
Vision 2030 is a mirage and even the die hard war veterans are forced to admit it.
CAB3 was passed under the pretext Mnangagwa needs 2 more years to delivery vision 2030. Many are forced to admit vision 2030 is a mirage. So what of CAB3? JUST ANOTHER LIE!!!!
@ General M
ReplyDeleteYou are tired of hearing the truth about MDC/CCC and how they sold out! The truth must be said from the hill top and will not be silenced by an idiot like you!
