Liz Zimbabwe's hope to save Tsvangirai

31 Oct 2015 at 08:11hrs | Views
Zimbabwe's political terrain has gone feminine and any chances of one's ascendancy to the country's political throne now depends of the influence of a woman.

Whereas Grace Mugabe is now arguably a political quantum in her own right, it cannot be doubted that her influence is the current compass in Zanu PF albeit - Zimbabwe at large.

Joice Mujuru is a reluctant and hesitant politician whose real political intentions remain a guess.

Murmurs are now loudly audible of scores of MDC supporters calling on their First Lady Elizabeth Tsvangirai to throw herself into the political fray to redeem and restore her husband's battered image.

It is a widely known fact that Morgan Tsvangirai is a prisoner held hostage by his deputy Thokozani Khupe and her gang.

The multi-dimensional hostage prism whose facets include financial blackmailing, the use of women as prawns and a multiplicity of secret expose' make Tsvangirai unsettled.

The entrance of Mrs Tsvangirai into the political arena will give a renewed hope and open a new chapter in Zimbabwe's democratic struggle thereby putting the fatigue ladden political outfit onto the right trajectory.

Khupe and her faction are abusing Tsvangirai for their own benefit and it is now a public secret that their political forecast has nothing to do with the benefit of Tsvangirai who in this case is a disposable catalyst.

Several founding members of the MDC interviewed by this writer, have given a vote of confidence in Mrs Tsvangirai to play a political role almost in the same role like other First Ladies.

A case in point is when Khupe blocked Tsvangirai from attending the burial of Mahlangu. Highly placed sources have it that some cadres raised the required funds and made arrangements for Tsvangirai to pay homage to the Mahlangu family with the assistance of Mrs Tsvangirai.

Mrs Elizabeth Tsvangirai is the only person at present who can catapult and un shackle the much influential Tsvangirai to state power.

Political dwarfs and parasites like Mwonzora, Khupe, Bhebhe and Kore have ulterior motives and hence cannot be trusted with the affairs of Zimbabwe's inevitable next Commander in Chief of the armed forces.
