Ever since Dr Nkosana Moyo decided to take part in the elections he knew and was repeatedly warn would be rigged, he lost my respect. He compromised himself and sold his very soul to the devil; there was no coming back on that.
Now we hear he has "acknowledged that the elections were held on the basis of which the Constitutional Court affirmed President Mnangagwa's win which, he said, is indicative of the will of the people."
Dr Moyo, were these elections free, fair and credible? Just answer in plain English and stop talking in riddles!
How can these elections have been free, fair and credible when there was no free public media? When 2 to 3 million Zimbabweans in the diaspora were denied the vote by the very regime that forced them to leave the country as economic and/or political refugees.
I was shock that someone like you, Dr Moyo, did not even have the common sense to draw the line and say no to participating in the elections when ZEC failed to produce something as basic as a clean and verified voters' roll!
"Our offer to rehabilitate Zimbabwe as articulated in our manifesto was clear on what we believe the task ahead of the nation is. Economic management based on meritocracy, transparency, zero tolerance to corruption, nation building and introspection. We hope the incoming administration will pay heed to these guidelines," continued Dr Moyo.
Poor Dr Moyo, he is now fishing for a job in the Mnangagwa led government!
To those readers who may not know this; Dr. Nkosana Moyo was appointed Minister of Industry and International Trade in a Robert Mugabe government. He resigned his post 2001 after serving less than a year. He said he was frustrated because his views were ignored by the corrupt, incompetent and autocratic regime.
He contest last month's rigged elections, ignoring the warnings that the elections will be rigged, because, like the rest of the other opposition candidates, his eyes were set on winning a seat on the gravy train and he refused to see the futility of his participation.
As expected, Zanu PF blatantly rigged the elections and let us just say very few beyond his immediate family voted for him. And now he is hoping that President Mnangagwa will re-appoint him Minister on the basis of his (Dr Moyo) election manifesto.
Dr Moyo, he clearly has not noticed this yet, President Mnangagwa rigged the elections, Zimbabwe is still a pariah state ruled by the same corrupt, incompetent and autocratic thugs you could not stomach in 2001!
If, it is a big IF, President Mnangagwa was to appoint you Dr Moyo into a senior position in his government it would be nice to hear how many cabinet ministers were appointed on merit. If you insisted on your "zero tolerance to corruption," then you will have to fire the majority of the Zanu PF cabinet including VP Chiwenga and President Mnangagwa himself!
VP Chiwenga has his C&M mansion, fleet of posh cars, string of farms and business interests, 45 gold watches, etc. If he bought all that from his Commander's wages alone then ZDF officers must be the best paid in the world!
President Mnangagwa is one of the Zimbabwe leaders named in the UN report as having been involved in the wholesale looting of DRC resources when Mugabe dragged Zimbabwe into that country's civil war! Mnangagwa has never denied the report.
But then, you will become more tolerant of corruptions, etc. once you get the ministerial limo, generous salary, etc., etc. You clearly saw nothing wrong with the blatant vote rigging, good start!
