The Mugabe's vs Zanu-PF vs Zimbabwe

There is a lie that has been told over and over again, to the extent that the world over now considers it to be true.

The lie goes like this "God helps those that help themselves" there could be no greater lie and heresy than this.

The truth however is not far from it, and it goes like this "God will not do for you that which you can do for yourself"

A lot has been said about the criminal actions of president Mbeki and his South African successors in collaboration with SADC and the African Union.

I must hastily declare that, not only do I find the actions of these presidents and the organisations l have mentioned, iniquitous, but they are also, tantamount to witchcraft even.

However the people of Zimbabwe in the main must and should shoulder the collective blame for the doldrums the country finds its self in.

One will be forgiven to understand that in the Zimbabwean context, patriotism refers to loyalty to the Mugabe family.

To be patriotic is to be faithful to the constitution of the country. However in Zimbabwe Mugabe can steal elections with impunity, kill those that differ with him in opinion.

Misappropriate the country's natural resources to himself first, and then those whom he will.

All of Mugabe's infamy has been met with celebration and heroic status by those who will be his victims later. Rugare Gumbo, and the ousted ZANU-PF leadership comes to mind.

When Morgan Tsvangirai, and his MDC, challenged Mugabe on his excess, very few in the country joined him.

Instead we heard people speak of their perceived (true or false) lack of education of Tsvangirai, as if that would bring bread to their sorry souls, which the same Mugabe with his education and his Zanu-PF, had violently taken away.

Thousands have died in the hands of this dictator, instead of their blood being the spring that will water and nourish the tree of patriotism to the constitution and the nation, their death, has come to nought.

We all as a people should burry our heads in shame, to allow one family to reduce us to these levels. We can't even seem to be able to overcome limitations unfairly imposed by poverty, poor education, poor health, housing and joblessness.

Off course all of these problems are insurmountable because it's Tsvangirai who asked for sanctions.

However those sanctions are powerless to stop the government from spending millions of tax payer's money, on Mugabe's travels for treatment in Singapore and Grace flying throughout the country telling Ndebele men that they only know how imp pregnant women, then leave them and go to South Africa and speak in fake Zulu.

As it is the source of our poverty as a country is no longer Tsvangirai and his MDC, but VP Mujuru and her supporters because they allegedly want to topple and assassinate our dear leader.

Thousands of youths are now on a frenzy looking for anyone or anything that says Mujuru, obvious with a deluded view, which says after she has been removed from being VP the country, will live in prosperity and tranquillity.

Our hospitals would be functioning well, and our children would be receiving the long awaited free education, the more than 2, 2 million promised jobs would be in galore.

The most painful thing about Zimbabwe and her people is this arrogance that says we are so exceptional, and everyone is out there to get us.

Britain is angry because of the liberation war, hence they hate Mugabe. The West is jealousy of our farms, hence the sanctions. We have the best mineral resources and the West would lose out, while we sell to China and let the same Chinese build our roads also.

In a sudden turn of events VP Mujuru, and her supporters are accused of delaying the rains in an effort to sabotage the president's successful land reform program.

It has also merged that Boko Haram was formed in her house.

Until we as Zimbabweans begin to take ourselves serious enough, Zanu-PF included, then, the Mugabe's may as well register Zimbabwe as part of the Gushungo holdings.
