Why ZANU PF can never lose an election

In politics, timing is everything. This is neither a game nor play ground for the feeble-minded who have a deficiency of foresight as a result of constipated brains. It is one field in which mastery applies as opposed to mysteries and magic, but once you think the latter two have been employed, certainly you have been beaten at it.

The art of timing comes with the vast of investments in think tanks, which are mature, people oriented and willing to sacrifice for the nation. What we see today is elevated student activism constituting political comedy as everyone wants the same position of Presidency.

Without dwelling much on the non essential, it is prudent to point out straight away to the sustaining timing that will see ZANU PF rule until the cows come home, if the calibre of opposition political parties and the quality of the rhetoric they espouse is anything to go by. The land question, if one wonders why it brought so much agitation, will bring you closer to the answers and wisdom you can ever get about Zimbabwean politics.

The attaining situation is permanently anchored on the land issue. The land, which harbours our ancestral graves and every cultural person's umbilical cord "rukuvhute," is the one wanted by those who have tasted its yields and cannot let go.

It will be ground breaking to learn of a Zimbabwean who owns a farm in Britain or America. These are the same agents who are championing equal rights to our land. They think money can buy them everything and anything. Nevertheless, Zimbabwe will never be a colony again.

The land redistribution exercise saw the advent of a permanent identity of Zimbabweans which entails "a Post ZANU PF Zimbabwe being ZANU PF's Zimbabwe".

The land redistribution brought about employment for many people. It saw people earn a living at the height of sanctions. If people had not been given land, the situation could have been worse had they been triggered by something else, with the whites still owning the land?

Land provided a fall black for the troubled revolutionary party and it saw its way out through that birth right. Thus the ZANU PF government bought its seat ticket into the future through land redistribution.

Today's fortunes have been born to the land, the diamonds which lay unfound since the times of preliminary colonisation are indeed an array of hope. They were discovered when there was no better option to deal with hostile international community. The answers of Zimbabwe indeed lie on the land issue.

On this part, the timing comes with the ancestors and un-be known powers trying to teach their subjects on the issue of patriotism. One is supposed to keep their birthright, which is land. If those opposition political parties can listen to the silent, and yet magical plea from the ancestors, then we can start talking about developing the nation with common good to preserve and conserve our land.

It is after these glorious testimonies about the land which then wins ZANU PF the hearts and sympathies of many. People desire leaders who deliver and empower, and as such if one continues to oppose progress they will find their names on the wrong side of history as Richard Tsvangirai and his cronies will be judged.

Speaking at the burial of Dr Nathan Shamuyarira, President Mugabe echoed the importance of land and what it really means to have land. The hammering on the subject of land marks the vice and pivot of the idea of empowerment and sovereignty.

If ever there is a chance of another political party to win presidency in Zimbabwe, and is against "land to the people concept", it may as well be prepared for another revolution in its time as the occupants will surely resist to be driven away from the land as was in the 1890s.

All people have an ancestral bearing and certain birthrights which are never meant to be traded for anything regardless of the circumstances. One such birth right is Zimbabwe's land.  "Amai havaroodzwe" (you can never marry off your mother to clear a debt); neither can you trade the motherland.

 And then a piece of advice to politicians to be; maturity is the ability to live in peace with what you cannot change. This also applies to political maturity, grow up and smell the coffee and stop making people suffer by twisting issues in a bid to circumvent nature.
