Zimbabwe is a secret book: Should ministers sworn to serve defrauding the nation?

Events in the last few days (12-15 November 2017) in Zimbabwe have already made a startling revelation and amazing on the person of the General and his loyalty to a friend and colleague Emerson Mnangagwa. The arrests have shown these guys, soldiers and some Zanu unwanted, must have suffered silently as they watched the rot grow year after year under the threat of being retired or send on some such insignificant posts as Provincial governor or some keep quiet and be silent position. It's not usual for a social scientist to applaud and let alone encourage acts such as coups and rest assured it's not what the intent of this narration is all about. Rather let it be acknowledged that Zimbabwean Generals have scored good thinking, vision and a people first approach in this military interventionist strategy and drama. So far the acts do not smell of selfish intentions but again, the mind of a person is so hard to neither compartmentalize nor judge their actual motivations.

It has to be admitted that soldiers of Zimbabwe have shown they were fellow sufferers with the common people by the way they celebrate and show joy themselves as well as the deportment with which they handle the public generally. They are kind but very firm. The master strategist to how the struggle was executed has just made a brief revelation of what more Zimbabweans can learn of who Robert Mugabe is and who his closest allies in government have done clandestinely. Government are not a mafia, and if it is how it can deal with innocent ordinary public.

If the recently appointed minister of finance had USD10 million cash in his house, should it be any wonder that Zimbabwe is broke and that not so long ago the country lost USD 15 Billion under the watch of Zanu government? The question need be asked, who is Zanu PF in the context of what the military has surfaced and has yet to come up with in the near future? The arrest of suspects without necessarily taking instant justice is a progressive step for the country and for the suffering people. Admittedly the country is witnessing avarice and where its foundation is: In people who overnight became Billionaires by association to the office of the highest man in the land.

We all make mistakes and can make mistakes. The best is yet, however, to come in the struggle to finally liberate Zimbabwe from the crime of avarice from ourselves. The way events have gone in the country and are going to go for a foreseeable future there may be benefit in forming a Joint Operation Clean Counsel (JOCC) to avoid a situation when some individuals may lay hands to hidden treasures that were in transit out of the country and change loyalty. The defence Forces have done an excellent introduction and this will reveal who has done what, when and where in the historical decay of governance of the country. A country so rich could not turn broke over night when still ten million of cash is found in the possession of one individual. It remains to be known where the money was going and where it had come from.

The SADC diplomatic failure has to stay out for as long as Zimbabweans are not showing signs of blood thirsty hunger to kill each other for nothing. Let's be fair and accept that elsewhere such incidences of military intervention have seen hundreds of citizens die prematurely in the process. To respect Mugabe even after the harm caused to the country is a Christian act many of us are not capable of doing irrespective of whom we say we are as Christians. Solidarity for each other as a country, and the love to remove culprits of deception who encouraged secret plunder to public funding could not be found had the matter been done by Zimbabwe police alone. There is an implied dynamics of odd relationships between defence forces, yet it is admirable that they decided that the army handle the complete operations including dealing with the public on the streets and at border posts.

Information we receive on first hand narrations gives a lot of credibility to how soldiers are handling the public, asking for cooperation since they aim at cleaning the mess in the country. We bear in mind how deceptive the coup stories have attained and maintained world over. This is not yet the case in Zimbabwe provided we are willing and are ready to work together-army, public, police and CIO- to stage the SECOND AND MOST DELIBLE CLEAN UP NATIONAL STRUGGLE THAT EDUCATE MASSES ON HOW CRIMINAL LEADERSHIP WITH DISHONEST INTENT ARE OPENLY BROUGHT TO ACCOUNTABILITY, HONESTY AND INTEGRITY.

Except for a few countries in the SADC we count on our figures with shame the misuse of funds by Presidents and civil servant without any action taken by SADC. It makes a mockery of SADC simply asking Zimbabweans to retain Mugabe in power when evidence is ashamedly clear that his government, then supported by these very defence forces, is now under scrutiny by the same officers who might have watched their mismanagement with disgust. It is sad that on face value African leadership does not seem capable of separating personal from national matters. They are not ashamed to sacrifice the masses for cheap diplomatic shenanigans. SADC has to show integrity and make differentiation on matters that can concern them and matters they need consult with citizens of countries with issues. It is timely that Zimbabweans take every decent opportunity to go to the streets of Harare and be supportive of an immediate formation of a Joint Consultative Council with Mugabe retired from service. Jointly as a surety in the absence of a meaningful system of checks and balance.
