Kasukuwere says Tsvangirai is a Zanu PF commissar - his incompetence makes him the best!

Zanu PF Political Commissar, Savour Kasukuwere, said Tsvangirai is a Zanu PF political commissar.

"He is our commissar. He has been since his days in Bindura and now he did exactly what commissars do. That is what PCs do. He gave us 21 (14) seats recently and we now want to readmit him in the party," said Kasukuwere.

Whatever good Tsvangirai has done for Zanu PF during his Zanu PF card carrying member years is nothing compared to what he has done ever since he became MDC leader. Mugabe could not have asked for a more incompetent challenger guaranteed to shoot himself in the leg at the most critical point every time.

When King David had his back against the wall and his son Absalom, his challenger who had both his hands firmly on his crown; Absalom had the chance to deliver the killer punch and he would be king.

"Now let me choose twelve thousand men, and I will arise and pursue David tonight," Ahithophel advised the young Absalom. "I will come upon him while he is weary and weak, and make him afraid. And all the people who are with him will flee, and I will strike only the king."

Morgan Tsvangirai has the Absalom's losing streak!

After two decades of gross mismanagement and rampant corruption Mugabe and Zanu PF has left the Zimbabwe economy is ruins; he promised mass prosperity but delivered mass poverty. Mugabe and Zanu PF have been unelectable since 2000 and yet for the last 15 years Tsvangirai and his MDC friends have completely failed to unseat Mugabe.

During the GNU all Tsvingirai had to do was to implement the raft of democratic reforms already agreed in the 2008 Global Political Agreement. God knows Tsvangirai had the best advisers in the SADC leaders who advised him to follow the GPA roadmap – implement the democratic reforms! God knows Tsvangirai had all the time he needed to implement the reforms – five years! And yet Tsvangirai failed to get even one reforms implemented! Not one!

Before the GNU Tsvangirai had specialized in shooting himself in the foot but by failing to implement the reforms he shot himself in the head. Since the July 2013 rigged elections, SADC heads have ignored him completely and, more significantly, all MDC donors have deserted the party in droves.

In the July 2013 elections MDC had not have the funds to run an effective campaign. The party is so broke it does not have the money to take part in any other elections but rather than admit that, the party's official position is that they will not take party in any elections until "electoral reforms are implemented".

The party had five years to implement the reforms but failed but now MDC expects Mugabe and Zanu PF to implement the reforms as if by magic.

Having decided that MDC would not contest any elections be they national or by-elections; it therefore made no sense whatsoever for Tsvangirai to recall the 21 breakaway MDC-Renewal. Of course Kasukuwere is right, Tsvangirai has given these seats away to Zanu PF; an early Christmas present for Mugabe.

As long as Tsvangirai or some such incompetent individual remains the leader of Zimbabwe's opposition then Zanu PF's hold on power is assured; it is impossible to lose a race in which the challenger is guaranteed to shoot themselves in the leg before every race!
