The confession that sold out Tsvangirai

The so-called opening up by the ex-Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai, if ever it was anything other than a futile attempt at deodorising a skunk,has been deemed by peers as a desperate attempt to justify his uncharismatic and wayward politicking, a poor sympathy-pulling stunt ill designed to convince even the lamest political brains, period! Nothing more.

The distraught leader of the floundering MDC-T again touted his unpopular chorus of vote rigging, citing alleged Nikuv machination on the landslide victory of ZANU PF. In as much as confessions spiritually set the mind free, the reverse is true in politics. King Leopold 2 of Belgium, upon addressing the colonial missionaries stressed, "Teach them the gospel of confession so that yea may become good investigators."

It is in this context where the lack of diligence and agile mindset of Tsvangirai is found wanting. The former Prime Minister confesses "we ignored the Nikuv involvement on the backdrop that MDC-T enjoyed popular support and their millions of voters would easily overturn ZANU-PF's machinations". The ex-Premier may million my foot, considering that he has been deserted by his paltry side-kicks and hangers-on he mistook for millions of supporters.

Nikuv International Project (NIP) is neither a political nor intelligence aligned organization. They offer IT consultancy and developmental agricultural systems as well as civil registry, among other activities. To begin with the organization is from Israel and given that the Israelis and Americans enjoy good relations, it defies logic for the US to nod to the idea that an Israeli firm engages a project to keep their so called adverse dictator President Mugabe in office. The company has been engaged in Nigeria, Ghana, Zambia and Botswana for IT and agricultural projects. What is interesting is, only in Zimbabwe where it has made the noises following the fall of MDC T.

Wait a minute, now just wait. Do I hear a dissenting voice because of Tsvangirai's nasty experience with Ari Ben Menashe, another businessman with Israeli links? If that be the case, that explains why he sees shadows and shapes where none exist, a development that predisposes him to transference, which is a propensity to blame all but himself.

Tsvangirai further alleges his bad luck with women, following the death of Susan, set him on an emotional roller coaster. So now, Susan is responsible for the open zip and shut mind. She must be turning in her grave.He further alleges being taken advantage of, including Biti and other women. Certainly the gods must be crazy to Tsvangirai. With madam Chibale, the ex-premier sought to ignore his infidelity which saw him siring a 24year old son, ironically also called Richard like Susan's son. Who took advantage of whom in this regard? To him Susan died 24 years ago if one is to literally consume this hogwash from the ex PM.

The ex PM has had a myriad of running battles with women in and out of the courts, with the media feeding in a frenzy. Some soothsayers allege that the misfortunes that shadow Tsvangirai are linked to Susan whom he may have sacrificed to better his chances of landing at State House. Even though this may seem like bar talk, of one cannot help but believe since the misjudgments that have become a permanent identity of the ex premier are beyond the ordinary. Without being unduly unkind to the departed, Susan's ghost seems to have not spared any woman who has tried to take her place.

Upon concluding his confession, the ex PM factors in, his greatest ambition to die in office as he adamantly points out, "I want to drive the struggle to its logical conclusion." Ironically the conclusion may mean the demise of the MDC T. This then bears a soft spot for the renegade Tendai Biti in the hearts of many as he is prudent enough to see the death of MDC T in the hands of Tsvangirai.

Tsvangirai then tries to be democratic by pulling the Party's congress from 2016 to October 2014, a sudden and dramatic move that is only set to entrench himself and benefit a few individuals already in the party structures. There is absolutely no room for preparation and opportunity for those at the grassroots and periphery of the MDC T realm of power.

This attempt towards moral laundry on the part of the ex premier is a desperate skirmish from reality by way of deception. MDC T's brand is permanently damaged and pivoted on blame shifting than accountability. Their circus pulls the attention of the general populace to mere politicking than addressing the economic meltdown that was brought about by their ill planning towards power usurping.
