Jonathan Moyo, a feckless Dr. Amai's boy

This is the day we should all rejoice in the Lord always and I found it very difficult to go through it without calling out hypocrites for who they are.
 
Recently, Jonathan Moyo (JM) has been on a political prowl. Without any provocations, JM attacked celebrated Zimbabwe singer and songwriter Jah Prayzah over his Mudhara Vachauya song. I found this to be very unfortunate coming from the learned professor. I personally listened to the song and I concluded the big Dhara Jah is singing about is me; how did JM conclude that Emmerson Mnangagwa (ED) was the big Dhara Jah is singing about? Even if ED was the big Dhara, what does that have to do with Moyo, Gushungo, and successionist?
 
In addition, I was appalled to see a story about how Majonga was hurt. As much as I want to sympathize with Majonga, I don't have the full details of what happened. What is appalling and ironic is showing a picture of Dr. Amai standing besides Majonga and try and tarnish ED's reputation as a violent womanizer; this is sickening to the stomach. Matters of the heart must never be used to discredit another human being and advance that of oneself or another human being. Grace is not holier than holy; we all do not know how Gorereza lost her to Mugabe and why he seems to be stuck in China. We don't know the full story about JM's gay escapades in the dark street alleys of Harare. So what does matters of the heart having anything to do with presidium issues?
 
JM is as worst a hypocrite as they come. This is the man who engineered the Tsholotsho Declaration at Dinyane Secondary School to try and prop up ED. I am sure most of us have not yet developed amnesia and remember very well JM's Tsholotsho Declaration four principles:
 
The presidium should be represented by Karanga, Manyika, Zezuru and Ndebele;
Position of president should rotate among the four major ethnic groupings;
Positions in the presidium should be through democratic elections done by secret balloting;
Positions must be filled in accordance with the party constitution.
 
JM was after Joice Mujuru a Zezuru, an ethnic group already represented in the presidium by Mugabe. His choice was Mnangagwa as vice-president. Yet today, JM is shedding crocodile tears, accusing the same man he fought tooth and nail for, ED for killing his father during Gukurahwindi; yes I am sensitive to that painful era but excuse me professor JM, you want to tell me you knowingly stood by the murderer of your father and wanted him to be your Vice President; really?
 
Please JM, please take your stupidity somewhere else; I for one does not care about you, about Mnangagwa, about Grace, about Mugabe. You can all go shove it; just give the people of Zimbabwe a break. Zimbabweans are smart people; all they need is order. They can take care of themselves. If you want to impose Grace as Zimbabwean's next president, go ahead, what are you waiting for. Zimbabweans have beaten you to all your political machinations, now you are confused. Remove the uncertainties, they are not good for the country. Zimbabweans don't care who you bring to run the country, they just need order, they can stand their own, they are smart and resilient people. They have beaten you to your game every time and now you are confused.
