ZANU-PF will not lose sleep over PF

05 Jan 2016 at 14:06hrs | Views
The recent claim by the private media that ZANU-PF was in the panic mode following a meeting that was held at former ZANU-PF Secretary for Administration, Didymus Mutasa should not be taken seriously but dismissed with due contempt.

There is indeed no concrete reason for ZANU -PF officials in Manicaland and Mashonaland East provinces to panic. People First (PF) is just a new baby on the block which is yet to learn the ropes of opposition politics in Zimbabwe. Surely, ZANU-PF will not lose sleep over political turncoats in that PF project. No wonder why the People First members are failing to launch a political party, a year after their expulsion from the ruling party. That cabal is full of overzealous people who are power hungry, but clueless.

Most people are aware that the private media is now a mouthpiece of People First project. There is no doubt that the private media is campaigning for the PF. All they want is to oust the ruling party ZANU-PF from power despite the genre of people they are rooting for, incompetent and visionless. People First should therefore be reminded that ZANU-PF will not lose sleep over such a minor hopeless project which is failing to transform into a real political party.

It is actually a shame to hear that only a handful of about 150 people were attending People First meetings. Who knows, maybe the number is representing Mutasa's farm workers. Honestly, such a number is inconsequential to ZANU-PF. It is also surprising that whenever People First meetings are held, former Vice President Joice Mujuru who is said to be fronting the cabal will always be absent.
Also, one would really wonder what percentage of the electorate is concerned by People's First project here in Zimbabwe. In actual fact People First is a failed project filled with wretched political turncoats who were shown the exit door by the ruling party because of fanning factionalism in different provinces.

The private media should stop being used as a tool of cheap politics by members of PF project. There is indeed confusion in that project. With the recent one being the misunderstanding in the United Kingdom People First cabal. It is reported that the PF,UK province is crumbling only two weeks after being set up. This can be a clear reflection of the fortunes that await the PF project upon its launching in Zimbabwe.

It is noted that there are two groups working under PF in the UK province. The first group is said to be led by Tichatonga whilst the other by Josh Chigwangwa. PF has commenced its project with fissures that characterize opposition in Zimbabwe, hence their failure. Truth be told, who would want to be associated with such a political group of people who lacks focus and not dependable when doing party business?

It is imperative to note that even in the coming 2018 harmonized elections; People First will not stand against the revolutionary party, ZANU-PF.
As it stands, ZANU-PF is the party that stands out as the main ideological rich political party in the political landscape. What really matters presently are ideas that can revive the economy and the ruling Zanu PF government is doing just that and results will be reaped in the near future. On the other hand opposition parties are bankrupt of ideas and are calling for change for the sake of change, a mantra which has not found any takers among Zimbabweans.

It is a shame that political parties that are being formed nowadays are formed by politicians who are self centered. Forming a political party in Zimbabwe has become so fashionable and in other words a means of survival for many people. Today's politicians are after power and money at the expense of delivering to the populace. For that reason, Zimbabweans must abstain from being fooled by People First members who are only trying to grab votes from them and offers nothing beyond that.

 For instance, it is well known that the Mujuru cabal is obviously desperate for Western dollars as is the case with most opposition politics in Zimbabwe. The western community has been continuously making efforts to effect regime change in the country. The West has been trying to remove ruling governments in most developing nations, especially Africa, through funding small political outfits such as PF. It is very unfortunate that opposition parties fail to realize the agenda and interests of the western governments in the country.

Surely, it is hideously mistaken if  the Mujuru cabal and its mouthpiece think that the ruling party is losing sleep over their useless People First project. The private media should be encouraged to stop writing despicable propaganda which does not contribute to nation development in anyway.
