Mnangagwa is 'mark 2 Mugabe and deserves no support!' says UK MP - Hallelujah! Amen!

If President Mnangagwa was beginning to feel that he had blatantly rigged the elections and going to get away with it he has just had a very rude wake-up call. British MP Kate Hoey has spelt it in plain English that Zanu PF rigged the elections.

"Without doubt the election has been cleverly rigged but even worse is the fact that it is the military that is behind the regime and they are now unleashing a similar fear and terror campaign on leading opposition activists and curbing all protests by killing and arresting innocent Zimbabweans," she wrote.

If the truth be told Zanu PF counted on the sheer incompetence and greed of Zimbabwe's opposition politicians than the cleverness of President Mnangagwa et al to rig these elections. There was simply no excuse for the opposition to go into these elections without something as basic as a verified voters' roll, for example. They did because they knew that Zanu PF was giving away a few gravy train seats in these elections, to entice the opposition to participate regardless how flawed and illegal the process got. 

"The worst aspect for me about the failure to agree a coalition was that both MDCs couldn't now do the obvious - withdraw from the (2013) elections," confessed MDC Senator David Coltart in his book.

"The electoral process was so flawed, so illegal, that the only logical step was to withdraw, which would compel SADC to hold Zanu PF to account. But such was the distrust between the MDC-T and MDC-N that neither could withdraw for fear that the other would remain in the elections, winning seats and giving the process credibility."

Three of the main MDC factions did come together to form the MDC Alliance but that did not stop them, once again, go after the bait gravy train seats on offer. As expected Zanu PF won its landslide 2/3 majority and a few of the opposition leaders like Tendai Biti and David Coltart won the bait seats. Biti and company are over the moon and do not care that these rigged elections only means another five more years of the same corrupt and tyrannical Zanu PF to the ordinary Zimbabweans out there.

It should be remember that the MDC leaders wasted the golden opportunities during the GNU to implement the democratic reforms designed to stop Zanu PF rigging the elections. They failed to implement ever one reform in five years. Not one!

"The courage and self-sacrifice of the Zimbabwean people is humbling to behold. We, in the international community cannot accept the result of the election and the UK government must take a lead to ensure that the Zimbabwean government is seen for what it is a mark 2 Mugabe regime and one that deserves no support whatsoever," concluded MP Hoey.

Could not agree with MP Hoey more!
The international community must now move swiftly to impose the targeted sanctions on President Mnangagwa, his junta friends and all those such as ZEC and Con-Court judges who played their part in rigging the elections and/or in trying to hide the evidence. The sanctions must be extended to include the opposition politicians like Tendai Biti and David Coltart who wasted many golden opportunities to end the Zanu PF dictatorship because they have been running with the hare but hunting with the Zanu PF hounds!
