Zimbabwe chuff identifies from grain

What I find repulsive and impregnable even in the mind of a grade seven child is simple this, can you talk of restoring food from a robber who is busy robbing at the same time?  There is something called arbitration. By implication it is asking for mediation on areas one is being robbed of. It's only in today's Zimbabwe with Emmerson Mnangagwa/Chiwenga leadership where no reference is made to day light breaking of rule of law with the country bleeding from unfair harassment of the ordinary citizens for speaking up their minds, where women are rapped and prices are going up and out through the windows without dialogue until life is lost out of such careleness. Why talk after the fact? Why not before the fact? Why become a rubber stamp even to plans undermining the very word OUR Country. Dzvene, ingratiation is a brainchild of being irrelevant buying relevance by boot leaking tendencies have robbed us of genuine peace in Zimbabwe. Our definitions and timelines for words need either synchronizing or putting apart of the chuff from grain politically.

If any of these people today standing with an all-is-well mind of nativity had a sister rapped or relative dead they would be on a different mood. The question is do we have to suffer pain in order to receive education on what is morally right and wrong? Does this not betray either insincerity or abnormal quest for power at the expense of genuine peace, stability and freedom?

There has to be a maturity in approaching our Zimbabwe's problems because it keeps getting worse and bigger year after year because of the naivety of the all-is-well mentality portrayed by those who have nothing to offer for solutions but to stand under the table begging through use of childish words like our country. All is not well and all is getting worst in the country. It's not due to lack of unity or education. It's lack of vision which often comes from an analysis of the ground truth. Where is Mnangagwa if this was a press conference of comrades addressing a national problem after a meeting. To come out showing such an open Chimbwa sungata (Surrogate) position to promote ZANU in her failures is shameful and cannot March the seriousness of any 2019 and beyond settlement on a Zimbabwe intensive care political condition solution. Truth is a limiting factor in Zimbabwe today.

Corruption oozes in everything we touch and indulge. You cannot kill a people then jump into and call them for a dialogue. Dialogue on what after the fact? Who chairs a conversation of sides that are at cold war with each other. Tenets of natural law does not allow one to be a judge over his massacre or abuse of others under pretext you are a government when you cannot protect citizens or listen to their grievances. One would guess this to be common sense number one factor in Zimbabwe. He who butchers openly has the audacity to call bleeding citizens to a table conference while the bruised is limping to that table: does it this make common sense or fairness?

A common ground is needed to have fresh ideas come from all stakeholders representative of people across the political, economic, social, Diaspora's, and spiritual spectrum is needed. We cannot keep leaping from failure to failure by the mistakes of one political organization, answer me why? An INDABA, DARE with a qualified arbitrator is needed if we have to keep our national interest in proper perspectives. Otherwise a failure cannot keep taking us into failure, why should that be simply because he abuses military influence through corrupting them to disregard issues of national interest. Zimbabweans 2019 has to have different visions based and founded away from the past on poverty of political backwardness.
