Africa's dictator is born, Morgan Tsvangirai

MDC-T has over the years had one slogan that of Remove Mugabe and ZANU-PF and never bothered to look at themselves whether they will be willing to step aside when time comes or when the makers of the party, the people of Zimbabwe, ask them democratically to hand over reigns to leaders that they so believe will carry their torch forward to freedom.
Now a dictator has been born and is here to stay longer than President Mugabe.
The only problem with this new form of dictator is that his violence will be three fold what any other African dictator has ever achieved. Let us look at this dictator history, Morgan Tswangirai.
It was at the time when Morgan saw nothing wrong with over turning a decision reached by the majority and was not moved at all as the Party spilt. He had seen it happen between ZAPU and ZANU and that would not pass him by he also had to do it.
Morgan Tswangirai enjoyed the protection of the media and those who could have exposed him as he had to remove Mugabe. Violence escalated within and outside the MDC-T stable where rallies never ended without people being attacked. Police raised their concerns pointing out how violent the MDC-T is but no attention was ever paid to them, REMOVE MUGABE was in every person's mind. Mr Welshman Ncube spoke about the violence within MDC-T ranks but he was ignored as devious.
A dictator has one major attribute, contempt. Morgan Tswangirai is so contemptuous that he thinks every individual has to brush themselves with him to get famous, to get to be anything and is not ashamed to say it. In a rally he even says to those that put him to power they cannot do anything without him, what a shame. He believes all other leaders must come to him and calls them during a rally to come back to him.
He tells ZANU-PF to form a new coalition government with him rather borders on orders.
The biggest fear most should have is when this kind of dictator takes over government and has full control of security services. A leader that watches as a person is being assaulted and laughs, a leader that shamelessly sees nothing wrong with another person being attacked in his presence on his behalf. A leader that has hangers on who are quick to refer to the word of God to justify their cruelty, a leader with hangers on who are eager to rubbish a medical report and see no pain an assault of any type can bring to an individual, the fear, trauma and all in all uncertainty within any form of interactions with other people anywhere in future as a victim of assault no matter how minor.
Woe to you Mr Welshman Ncube and to you Dumiso Dabengwa when this dictator is finally in office. He will make you crawl to him as he will slaughter your followers in Matabeleland and possible the Midlands or where ever Gukurahundi has been experience. He will be worse than the ZANU-PF government and eager to show his superiority. Excombatants be prepared as this dictator will not only want to wipe you out but imprison you and your families.
The likes of Tendai Biti and Elton Mangoma will be examples of ever asking a leader like him to step down, they will suffer, just allow this new dictator to take over a see what happens.
Charges are now preferred against Elton Mangoma, why not before this time, why now when he democratically asked Morgan to step down. All to drown that which forms the pillars of democracy, freedom of speech.
Zimbabwe unity not only against ZANU-PF government, but to block this dictator ever coming to power, to block any other form of dictatorship ruling our beloved country. We wish and cry for freedom that one day will come but never through Tswangirai never.
