Mutasa tasted a bitter pill
23 Oct 2015 at 09:49hrs | Views
Recent utterances by former ZANU-PF Secretary for Administration, Didymus Mutasa that that Tsvangirai was always right on his 'principled stand' against a 'rotten' ZANU-PF led by 'self seeking looters' who now belong to a 'dustbin of history' must not be tolerated but dismissed with due contempt.
Truly, Mutasa's sentiments are just mere wishful thinking of a person who is trying to find a political space to rest after his ouster from the ruling party. Mutasa has indeed tasted bitter pills; hence attacking the revolutionary party. This might be the hardest description of Mutasa's behaviour but it is indeed necessary to say that.
It is a shame that Mutasa got to know about the rottenness of ZANU-PF and the goodness of Tsvangirai only after his ouster. Mutasa is desperately looking for a political room to stay. The First Lady, Amai Dr Grace Mugabe once hinted that it is cold outside ZANU-PF. I am quite sure Didymus Mutasa can testify.
As a political turncoat from ZANU-PF, Mutasa has been trying hard to prop up the People First project. Unfortunately, the person whom Mutasa and his allies had been fronting as the leader of People First, Joice Mujuru seemed not to be much interested in that project. Mujuru once noted that she would not want to be pushed into prematurely political future.
In actual fact, People First project is not making any progress hence; Mutasa is trying to find a political place in Morgan Tsvangirai's MDC-T. By praising Tsvangirai, Mutasa has proved his level of confusion. Mutasa is like a chameleon which changes colour from time to time. At one point, he is supporting People First whilst on the other hand he is strongly supporting and praising Tsvangirai.
Let me say it clearly, Mutasa should mind his own business and leave ZANU-PF. Why should he continue attacking and spreading malicious statements against the revolutionary party? He is no longer part of the ruling government, and that is a fact. The former Presidential Affairs Minister should just zip his mouth or else he should just retire from politics. Honestly, it boggles the mind to see a former Security Minister divulging such negative utterances against the Government to the media. It shows the level of foolishness and senseless in Mutasa.
One would wonder what exactly Mutasa is trying to achieve by saying such dirty sentiments to the public.
Recent reports have it that Mutasa is now broke and he was being sued by creditors and service providers for failing to settle his bills. The ex-Presidential Affairs Minister has indeed stated sour grapes. Mutasa should breathe life into People First project which however, is failing to commence into a legitimate political party. This could be because of the financial constrains that Mutasa and his colleagues are currently facing.
As it stands, Mutasa and his cronies have nothing to offer the people of Zimbabwe. All they want is to criticize the Government instead of proffering solutions to the problems bedeviling the nation. Even former ZANU-PF Hurungwe West legislature, Temba Mliswa, blasted the People First project in interview with one of the daily newspaper claiming that, its blue print (BUILD) lacks future.
"That blueprint (Build) must come from the people. Whether you like it or not, I don't believe People First has started right because that whole blueprint (Build) was supposed to come from the people, they were supposed to have a congress which endorses it", says Mliswa.
Mutasa is a typical political failure who must find his way to the political dustbin.
