"I will die with Zanu PF!" Mai Mujuru told VOA Zimbabwe in an interview.
Well she is a "simple minded" woman as Mugabe has rightly said. It is never the values, principles or ideology that simpleton like Mai Mujuru followed and pledged their loyalty to but the party or the individual leader. And so when a party like Zanu PF is hijacked by a tyrant like Mugabe and betray its founding values of freedom, liberty and human rights even to the sicken extend of murdering over 30 000 innocent civilian for selfish political gain simpletons like Mujuru were not perturbed in anyway.
When Mugabe shouted "Pasi PF Zapu!" or "Pasi with MDC!" she answered back "Pasi!" She never question why the regime was intimidating, beating, raping and even murdering innocent people who had done no wrong. All they asked is that they should be allowed exercise their God given right to a meaningful say in the governance of the country, enjoy freedom of expression and association, etc. - the very values the nation went to war against the white colonial oppressors who were denying blacks these very things.
The idea that a party like Zanu PF, a leader like Mugabe can become corrupt and oppressive just as the Rhodesia Front and Ian Smith were racist and oppressive is inconceivable, unthinkable to a simpleton like Joice Mujuru.
One can present to the mountain of evidence of Zanu PF corruption and brutal repression and the tragic suffering they have caused to millions of Zimbabweans; proof that Zanu PF under Mugabe and the cabal of thugs round him has turned Zanu PF into a murderous monster. That will have no effect on Joice Mujuru.
"I will die in Zanu PF!" She will scream even in her sleep!
It was never the idea of freedom, justice, etc. that attracted her to Zanu PF it was the party and its leader, Mugabe. If she ever understood the ideas of freedom and justice behind the struggle for independence it was at a very superficial level.
It is hardly surprising that after 34 years in government at a very senior level, one is hard pushed to name even one single thing of note that deputy Minister, to Minister and then Vice President Joice Mujuru accomplished in 34 years. All she has ever done is looting and corruption. She is a simple minded women who had been promoted way above her level of competence, what else did we expect from her.
Even the university education, God knows it took her long enough to finally get that Phd - 34 years, failed to open that dull simple mind.
Since independence Zanu PF has slowly but surely become a party of corrupt and murderous thugs who care not about freedom, justice and the suffering masses; all they care about is power and the wealth they can loot from the people and nation. In the last few months the party thugs have turned on each other like hyenas fighting over a bone. The ruthless purge that has followed has left the party weak and terminal wounded. Zanu PF is dying!
Of course the ordinary Zimbabweans are thrilled to see the Zanu PF thugs at each other's throat. The nation cannot wait to see the party finally wither and die because its death will offer a chance to build a just, free and democratic Zimbabwe.
So if our simple minded former VP Joice Mujuru wants to die "in Zanu PF" she had better take rat poison or something because Zanu PF is already on its death-bed!
