MDC-T leader Thokozani Khupe has castigated fellow opposition parties who are threatening to boycott the July 30 polls, reported Zimeye.
"MDC-T president Dr Thokozani Khupe has lashed out at political parties that are threatening to boycott the July 30 harmonised elections saying they are confused," read part of the message.
Dr Khupe, please ask me this: Do you believe we can have free, fair and credible election when there is no something as basic as a clean and verified voters' rolls?
Even with the benefit of hindsight of the GNU and the rigged 2013 elections you are still failing to get your head round the simple reality that Zanu PF is rigging elections and, until the reforms are implemented, will continue to rig elections. Madam, Zanu PF is rigging these elections.
What is the point of contesting elections knowing the result is a Zanu PF victory which has nothing to do with the democratic wishes of the people?
But then, you do not care that the ordinary Zimbabweans are denied a meaningful say in these elections which is why MDC failed to get even one reform implemented during the GNU. As Deputy Prime Minister, you Dr Khupe, had your share of the spoils of high office; ministerial limo, generous allowances and salary, etc. in line with your position as deputy PM.
People have often said that your snouts in the feeding trough you, MDC leaders, forgot about implementing the democratic reforms. It is clear that many of the MDC leaders did not forget about implementing the reforms, they had no clue what the reforms were and many still have no clue even to this day. Dr Khupe, you are one of these who still have no clue what the reforms are about! None!
For someone who has been involved in Zimbabwe politics for all these years and yet does not know that elections are being rigged right before your own eyes! Madam Khupe, you not just confuse you are far worse than that; you are breathtakingly corrupt and incompetent and utterly useless!
The best outcome of these flawed elections is for the process to be condemned and declared null and void. This will force the nation to go back to the raft of democratic reforms agreed at the onset of the 2008 GNU and finally get the reforms implemented.
In a democratic Zimbabwe with an open and vibrant political system Mai Khupe would be at a loss to justify why she and her MDC failed to implement even one reform in five years of the GNU. Who, in his or her right mind, would insist in contesting in an election in with no clean and verified voters' roll so hundreds of thousands their own supporters are denied the vote because their details were deliberately posted to another polling station?
