MDC-T calls for 'a fresh start' - only if the corrupt opposition with a competent one

MDC-T's views the people coming together in the Itai Dzamara prayer meeting as a sign the people are joining the party's big tent coalition call.

"The MDC would like to encourage all patriotic Zimbabweans, living in the country and in the Diaspora, to join hands in peacefully pushing the corrupt, insensitive, incompetent and violent Zanu PF regime out of power. ……… etc., etc. Zimbabwe needs a fresh start," wrote MDC spokesman Obert Gutu.

The nation is in this political and economic hell-hole because for the last 35 years, we, the people, have failed to take the business of election competent national leaders with the seriousness and importance the matter demands. If the nation is to end the corrupt and tyrannical Zanu PF rule then we must first of all elect competent men and women who will finally implement the democratic reforms the corrupt and incompetent MDC leaders failed to implement during the GNU.  

MDC leaders will never accept that Zimbabwe had its best chance ever during the GNU to implement all the democratic reforms agreed in the 2008 GPA which would have stop Zanu PF rigging the elections and thus end the Zanu PF dictatorship once and once for all. MDC failed to get even one of the democratic reforms implemented. Not one.

MDC had the time, five years; had the opportunity, the GPA; and had the backing and encouragement of SADC, who were the guarantor of the agreement; to implement the reforms. There are only three reasons why MDC did not implement any reforms; the party's leaders are breathtakingly incompetent, corrupt and they are sell-out.

How does electing the same breathtakingly corrupt, incompetent and a sell-out constitute "a fresh start"?

MDC is taking advantage of the people's worsening economic misery to get themselves elected back into power; they know a desperate electorate will do desperate things.

What the electorate should understand is that MDC will never get the nation out of this hell-hole because they will never end Zanu PF's tyrannical rule. If MDC failed to get even one reform implemented during the GNU when the party had all the tramp cards what chance is there of them doing so now when it is Mugabe and Zanu PF who now hold all the tramp cards?

The only way the nation is going to end the Zanu PF dictatorship and thus have a truly "fresh start" is by first of all getting rid of the country's corrupt, incompetent and sell-out opposition leaders and electing competent ones!

The people of Zimbabwe were naïve, gullible and foolish to have trusted corrupt and incompetent leaders like Tendai Biti and Morgan Tsvangirai to deliver on their promise of bringing democratic change. It will be an act of unforgivable folly for this nation to elect corrupt and incompetent leaders ever again much less to elect the same village idiots who have already proven beyond all doubt that they are indeed corrupt and incompetent!

The key to ending our political nightmare, a fresh start, is for the electorate to elect competent leaders, something both Zanu PF and MDC have actively brainwashing the people turning them into sheep who blindly follow the leaders without ever asking any questions. We need a thinking electorate and the worsening economic situation should force us to think and not to panic.
