By appointing clueless people like Mahofa minister it proves Mugabe too has no clue how to end economic crisis!

Mugabe appointed Shuvai Mahofa the new Masvingo provincial minister. She has admitted that she does not have a clue what she will be doing there.

"I was shocked to learn that I have been appointed the provincial minister, and I know nothing of what is expected from me that's why I could require guidance from Cde Hungwe who has been there to show me the direction," said Mahofa.

She will be in good company; no one in Zanu PF, not even Mugabe himself, knows what they are doing. Would the country would not be in such a political and economic mess they did?

Do not flatter yourself Madam; you have been appointed minister not because you have and talent or ability. You are just an empty drum that makes a lot of noise; that is all you have ever done. You played a big part in the ousting of Mai Mujuru and her supporters in last year's Zanu PF rigged electoral process. You have been appointed minister as your reward for your contribution.

Mai Mahofa stopping corruption, what a sick joke! Who is Zanu PF is not corrupt? Can you swear that you are not corrupt yourself? Corruption is rampant in the country precisely because you the leaders are corrupt. The only way to end the scourge of corruption and mismanagement at the very heart of the nation's economic meltdown is to implement all the democratic reforms and have free, fair and credible elections because only then can the nation be assured to have quality leaders who are accountable, through free elections, to the people.

Mugabe rigged the July 2013 national elections just as he rigged last year's Zanu PF party elections and past national elections. The nation is in this economic and political mess because for the last 35 years it has been ruled by some of the most incompetent, corrupt and tyrannical thugs in human history. The people have failed to remove Mugabe and his Zanu PF thugs from office because the tyrant has yet to hold free, fair and credible elections.

After 35 years of gross mismanagement and rampant corruption the national economy is now in total meltdown. Unemployment has soared to Mount Everest height of 90% plus, nation incomes have dropped to their lowest level in 60 years, life expectancy has plummeted from 68 years in 1980 to 34 years in 2004, etc., etc. This is socially and politically unsustainable.

"Corruption has destroyed the province and the country at large; I will not tolerate such illness to continue prevailing amongst our civil servants especially in the lands ministry.
"This is a warning to all those involved in illegal activities to stop it forthwith because I will reign on them," she said.

Corruption has become so rampant and its ill effects so self-evident that even the mentally blind like Shuvai Mahofa can see it. Even she can see that the situation cannot go on.

Shuvai Mahofa is offering to end corruption in Masvingo in much the same way Mugabe have offered to end corruption nationwide and create 2.2 million new jobs. It is now one year and half since the rigged July 2013 elections and the official launch of his ZimAsset, economic recovery plan, are yet more companies have closed with the loss of more jobs with none created. His appointment of someone as corrupt and incompetent as Shu-vai Mahofa provincial minister says it all – he has given up on ending mismanagement and corruption and thus ending the economic meltdown.

The only way Zimbabwe is going to end the economic meltdown and create the much needed jobs is by ending the mismanagement and corruption. We must end the current political system that has allowed incompetent, corrupt and tyrannical leaders to rule; we must implement ALL the democratic reforms agreed in the 2008 Global Political Agreement (GPA) and hold free, fair and credible elections. Only by holding free and fair elections can we have any hope of electing ministers with some common sense and will have some idea what they are doing!
