Mujuru becomes the most talk on the ground

The Gwanda resident Association official Bekezela Fuzwayo has said the most talked about politician in most parts of the country this time is former Vice President Joice Mujuru whop is being viewed as an alternative to dislodge President Robert Mugabe from the helm he held since independence in 1980.

I have a passion of going out into the rural areas of our country or being among the ordinary discussions by people in their free spaces and listen more than talk and hear what ordinary Zimbabweans are thinking and wishing for," he said.

"The talk on the ground of late is Mujuru and Mujuru and Mujuru very little of Morgan Tsvangirai and other opposition. The people suddenly appear so excited on having found that alternative to Mugabe and Zanu PF."

Fuzwayo said on the social media where the so called think tanks are or those who say they know the subject is the same albeit in a different perspective.

"The "think tanks" are busy bashing Mujuru and calling her a Zanu PF project which is contrary to what the ordinary people on the ground are seeing. Looks like people right now careless about whatever story one may tell them, all they want is change and the Mujuru factor appears to be coming in at an opportune time for them," he said.

He said he met guys at an outlet sharing a two litre bottle of Ingwebu a traditional brew and somehow after joining them their discussion changes from the rains to politics.

"The Mujuru issue immediately took centre stage and one of them says something to me which I have since shared with others in one WhatsApp discussion platform,|" he said.

"He says Maduma, why don't you talk to Welshman Ncube to join up ties with Mujuru and be Mujuru's Secretary General. I naturally asked why? He says there is no one else who can come in and help Mujuru shape this country he can redirect Mujuru from the Zanu PF of old and bring a new leader in her then after ten years we can then put Welshman as the new leader of the country."

Fuzwayo said he asked them why Welshman and not Morgan Tsvangirai who is already said to be in talks with Mujuru.

"The guys all at once shouted no ways they have had enough of Tsvangirai and if he is brought into the Mujuru equation he will spoil everything. I was very surprised at this kind of thinking from ordinary farm and mine workers who our so called elite undermine and hope to always force to a certain direction and thinking," he said.

"Am sitting here right now thinking what is the real direction that this country will take come the next few months. Is our political leadership really paying regard to the wishes and aspirations of the people they are leading? Is our new direction not always delayed because those who lead us always think that they know more than the people they are leading?"
