MDC obsessed with Mugabe's 'negatives', silent about wasted chance to end his rule!

Ever since the rigged July 2013 elections which saw many of the MDC leaders kicked off the Zimbabwe gravy train for our political ruling elite MDC have redoubled their efforts to impress the Zimbabwe people so that they can be elected back on the gravy train.

"If you drew up a check list of what Obama said is wrong and right in Africa, Zimbabwe would be able to tick off every single negative and place a cross at every single positive. We are the principle example of a State that has done everything wrong since we gained our Independence in 1980," wrote MP Eddie Cross, one of the MDC leaders determined to remain visible to the electorate.

You are spot on Eddie, we have "done everything wrong since independence" but since you and your MDC friends have been in power and had many golden opportunities to put things rights what good is it for the nation you dwelling exclusively on what Mugabe and Zanu PF have done wrong and the misery that has brought to the masses. You MDC people fcuked up big time too, let us talking about your fcuk up and, more significantly, why the nation should trust you not to do so again!

The nation and the whole world accept that Mugabe is a corrupt, incompetent and murderous tyrant. You, Eddie Cross, and your fellow MDC friends are obsessed about enumerating Mugabe's many faults, "ticking off every single negative and placing a cross every single positive". It seems you are deriving a great deal of gratuitous pleasure from reminding the populous the depths of misery Zanu PF has brought upon them, rubbing it in to underline their desperation. After all MDC's political fortunes were founded on the people's despair.

After 20 years of Zanu PF brutal political oppression and criminal economic waste through mismanagement and corruption; Zimbabweans were desperate for political change, so desperate they were prepared to vote for anyone as long as he/she was not Robert Mugabe or Zanu PF! The people of Zimbabwe failed to consider whether or not Tsvangirai and his MDC friends would deliver the democratic changes the nation needed to end the Zanu PF dictatorship; desperate people do desperate things, sadly the nation has paid dearly for this because, lol behold, MDC has failed to end the Zanu PF dictatorship after 15 years and many wasted golden opportunities to do so.

MDC was elected into power to end this Zanu PF dictatorship and bring democratic change. The party had the golden opportunity to do so during the GNU when all they had to do was to implement the democratic reforms. They failed to get even one single reform implemented. Not one!

Ever since the rigged July 2013 MDC politicians have been bombarding the nation with details of how corrupt, incompetent and tyrannical Mugabe and Zanu PF are and how miserable we the people are for the sole purpose of recreating the sense of hopeless and helpless desperation of 15 years ago. MDC does not want the people asking themselves what they should have asked themselves back in 2000; Are MDC leaders competent to deliver the democratic changes the nation needs to end the Zanu PF dictatorship?

This question is even more relevant today than in 2000 since MDC have had the opportunities to deliver the democratic changes and failed to deliver even one change!


MDC leaders like Eddie Cross are trying to confuse the people by reminding them of Zanu PF failures and betrayals and how miserable we all are as a result. The single most important issue here is not so much Mugabe's incompetence or our suffering but how to the nation is going to get out of this hell. The most important issue is to get competent leaders with the vision and common sense to implement all democratic reforms, our ticket out of this hell.

MDC leaders have failed to get even one reform implemented when they had the best chances to do so, it is naïve to believe they will do so now when it is Zanu PF that has all the tramp cards.

"Chawawana batisisa midzimu haipe kaviri!" goes the Shona adage. (Make the most of what you get because you may not get another chance!)

I believe Zimbabweans will have another chance to implement the democratic reforms and end the Zanu PF dictatorship and with it the chaos and suffering it has brought to the nation. We must not waste this chance by electing corrupt and incompetent leaders, especially recycled MDC leaders who have already proven beyond doubt that they are breathtakingly corrupt and incompetent!
