Baba Jukwa - Legion of malicious engagement
15 May 2013 at 10:35hrs | Views
When Southern Africa took up arms against the white colonial settlers, the late renowned veteran nationalist and founder of the Tanzanian nation, Mwalimu Kambarage Julius Nyerere, wrote a book titled, "Dangerous Engagement, Southern Africa at War".
President Nyerere was referring to Southern African states rising and fighting imperialism and all that it stood for.
However, today, in Zimbabwe, it is saddening to note that as we move closer towards the watershed elections, we see the rise of some misguided elements in Zanu-PF party working to destroy the revolutionary party from within by engaging in malicious and unholy alliances with the MDC-T party.
Apparently, these rogue members have for some time now been working tirelessly towards painting a gloomy picture about Zanu-PF's policies while pretending to give the party "informed and professional advice".
Some of us have watched with keen interest these rogue members ganging up to form a shadowy group of four that operates in the social media under the name Baba Jukwa.
Let these sinister elements be told here and now that their machinations and operations are in the open and that their days of association with Zanu-PF are numbered.
In fact, members of this mafia group are not even Zanu-PF card carrying members.
They are people who were appointed by the Zanu-PF Government to influential government positions erroneously with the hope that they were mature, basing on the academic and professional credentials they have.
Today we witness their unrelenting efforts to destroy the very party that raised them from the dust. These "members" have gone on a shameful campaign to destabilise and vilify Zanu-PF, taking every opportunity to criticise the astute leadership of the party and its policies.
Their intention is obvious; they hope to win favour from the sell-outs in the MDC party dreaming that it would win the next elections.
The same people, who today collectively call themselves Baba Jukwa, have been too quick to discredit Zanu-PF's indigenisation policies -- intentionally dissuading some companies from complying with our national laws. They want to be viewed as "good boys" who "stood for the truth in the face of adversity".
Like their colleagues in the MDC, they masquerade as genuine patriots and professionals who have the nation at heart. However, what these pretenders forget is that their actions are so glaringly clear.
They have a lot to atone for in the manner some of them headed our parastatals and national institutions than pretend to be genuine advisors of Zanu-PF. A closer scrutiny of their deeds portrays them in the mould of the Rhodesian Selous Scouts -- ana skuzapo.
The recent barrage of criticisms of the security commanders by this mafia group reveals a calculated ploy to tarnish the image of the security sector in a bid to buttress the MDCs' failed clamour for security sector reform.
Unfortunately for these stooges, Zanu-PF is fully aware of their malicious motives and the puerile endeavour to discredit the image of the party and its revolutionary cadres who have refused to sell their birthright for a morsel of bread.
Professor Jonathan Moyo is vindicated for publicly castigating some of these stooges for what they are.
One of these Judases is a former Zanu-PF Government Minister; some are elected Members of Parliament (on Zanu-PF tickets) and hold positions in Parliamentary Portfolio Committees under Zanu-PF tickets.
True as it is, munhu waunodya naye ndiye anokuuraya. But the truth of the matter is that these errant members have never ever been Zanu-PF at heart. Vakagara varivatengesi; and are worse than political turncoats.
Zanu-PF read this correctly when the party relieved their colleague of his ministerial post.
This fact notwithstanding, those who still remain in their posts fail to read history correctly. Zanu-PF is founded on strong national principles and has good depth as a political party.
Gentle reader, Zanu-PF is that same revolutionary party that survived the brutal infiltrations of the Rhodesians and defeated the Rhodies, who included people like Ian Kay, Roy Bennett and the whole bunch of Selous Scouts. In order to understand this party called Zanu-PF; learn from the Americans and their allies.
Never be fooled.
Of late, the Americans and their European allies have conceded defeat. The recent visit by America's Ambassador Andrew Young clearly testifies to this bold assertion.
Andrew Young was rather too mean with the truth and tried to label Zimbabwe "a very small country of insignificant importance to the US".
But wait!
If Zimbabwe was that small, of that insignificance, why would the American Senate spend time debating the imposition of sanctions on a nonentity?
Why do we still have Zdera up to now? Why do the Americans continue to operate an embassy in a country of insignificance? What business did the mighty Andrew Young have in Zimbabwe?
History records that there has never been any black African who has challenged the white man straight in his face like our dear President Mugabe. This is history.
Zimbabwe under President Mugabe remains the first country to embark on reforms meant to totally reverse all the ills associated with colonialism.
Fellow Zimbabweans, we are a truly independent and sovereign nation that has become the envy of the world's oppressed masses. We have led where others fear to follow. It is only the MDC and its cohorts who include the errant gang of four ana Baba Jukwa who still cherish colonial conquest.
Vasiyeyi vakadaro, vanezvinovanetsa. Vakanakidzwa nehu teaboy.
Ana Baba Jukwa ngavaone kurikuenda nyika. The Americans in their intelligence and wisdom have read Zimbabwean politics correctly. Morgan is gone.
Any analytical Zimbabwean will know that Morgan is no more. To the discerning, Morgan is now in the dustbins of history.
Zanu-PF has sound and firm home-based solutions that seek to empower the indigenous citizens of their God-given resources. We do not seek an inch of Britain, Europe or America.
We are more than content with the land that the Almighty God gave us and we remain proudly Zimbabwean. It is only the ignoramuses, the likes of ana Baba Jukwa and their cohorts in the MDC who are never confident about themselves, who subscribe to being perpetual slaves in their own land.
Idi, vaMugabe vane nhamo. How else can one explain this dilemma? You sacrifice your life to liberate a fellow brother; instead of appreciating, the kind gesture, he gangs up with thugs to fight you?
Some Zimbabweans really never cease to amaze.
Our high education levels have never helped some.
How can holders of university degrees and doctorates stoop so low and fail to realise that Zimbabwe, with its abundant resources, is for Zimbabweans -- period!
The MDC and its cohorts should surely be ashamed of what they are. In this day and age, how can someone still want to sell-out for the love of money? Haiwa vakomana kwete! Nyika ino yakarwirwa.
Numerous fellow Zimbabweans lost their lives and limbs in order to set this country free. This sacrifice continues to inform our President, our military commanders, genuine cadres of Zanu-PF and patriotic Zimbabweans of the need to resolutely defend our sovereignty. We have a legacy to pass on to successive generations.
Let the Baba Jukwas be warned. We are never going to sacrifice our freedom and hard won Independence in order to please man of colour. This inferiority complex which drives Tsvangirai and colleagues into undergoing various transformations in order to become white is anathema to right thinking Zimbabweans.
History records a story of a young black boy who is among the top ten most recognisable faces in the world. He underwent various transformations in his life; he was born black; he later became a coloured young man and died an old white woman.
Those with ears let them hear! Today, the British have pulled out their staff from the Libyan capital Tripoli due to security concerns over political unrest.
Did Zanu-PF not warn them that by toppling Colonel Gaddafi they were engaging in a dangerous and dirty mission? Fools! They never listen.
Today the good Colonel must be smiling in his grave.
Only last year, the Brits and others were celebrating a "free" Libya, but today are frantically removing their citizens from Libya. Didn't the good Colonel warn them that they were supporting an Al Qaeda takeover?
Fellow Zimbabweans, be warned. Do not support an imperialist takeover by backing stooges or sympathising with them. The activities of anaBaba Jukwa are deceitful. Theirs is a destructive malicious engagement.
Like the colonialists referred to in Julius Nyerere's book; they will surely not succeed.
Our God is a lover of peace. He will not stand with infidels who are busy promoting homosexuals under the guise of moving democracy. God does not change.
Victory for Zanu-PF beckons. Stand up and be counted with the victors.
To Amai Jukwa, I say, continue writing as long as we continue to have Mondays on our calendars.
