Ndebeles are unreasonable and violent -PM Tsvangirai

IT is now public secret that the rise to political fame of Morgan Tsvangirai cannot be divorced from the support that his party got from Matabeleland over the years, it continues to boggle the minds not only of his political opponents but of all the progressives people of the country that his actions and statements continue to expose his contempt of the people of the region.  

Recently Morgan Tsvangirai who was on a fire fighting mission ahead of his congress which has become an excellent example of a failing party and an insult to democracy decried violence that has come as an unwelcome visitor  to Bulawayo. He accused Bulawayo of being a disrespectful and chaotic among the other words.

It is well-known that the violence in MDC-T in Bulawayo does not and will not surpass of other provinces. It is not the only province that was asked to repeat their primary elections. There was violence in Masvingo, both Midlands Provinces; these are not the only provinces but the notable ones. But the questions then is why those insulting words to Bulawayo Province?

Morgan Tsvangirai who is undisputable losing support to his more intellectual Secretary General Tendai Biti in all the provinces could not stomach the loss of support of his blue eyed boy Gorden Moyo and Thokozani Khupe, who now prefers to be called Mai Shamiso, not because of her daughter Shamiso but to prove her accommodative attitude to the Mashonaland provinces so as to get the support of the ceremonial Deputy President position. When he said the people of Bulawayo are disrespectful in his terms it meant that who are they (Bulawayo people) to stand against his preferred candidates. It should be remembered that in MDC-T like in Zanu PF the dream to have a Matabeleland leaders who don't take instructions from Harare is blasphemous and should not even be entertained.

It is worth to be remembered that after the split of the MDC in 2005  the other faction now led by Welshman Ncube accused him of being too addicted to violence. MDC T is the same party that its nominees to the cabinet that almost forgot the people from Matabeleland in that party. Their cabinet reshuffle again proved not only his contempt but his hatred to the people of the region.

It will then never seize to amaze how the political charlatan Gorden Moyo who is more interested in building his personal glory than serving the people of the region can continue to seek to serve the tribal empire of Morgan Tsvangirai when just a few months away the same institution embarrassed him by demotion for simply being uncomfortably too close to the Karanga Empire.

We are aware that Gorden Moyo  went to beg Morgan Tsvangirai accompanied by Thokozani Khupe in tears after a close shave where he almost lost the Ministerial position and promised to use all at his disposal to make sure that he surrenders Bulawayo province to the tribal empire.

Checking through the records I was taken aback,  I thought if Zanu PF Morgan's former Party could unleash Gukurahundi  when it heard the country' security forces at its disposal and if Tsvangirai's group could unleash its youth on the elders of that party from the region what would stop him from implementing the Gukurahundi again. It is now up to the people of the region and the nation that desire true democracy to put an end to this terror personified.
