A hypocrite, according to the dictionary I have, is " 1. a person who pretends to have virtues, moral or religious beliefs, principles, etc., that he or she does not actually possess, especially a person whose actions belie stated beliefs. 2. a person who feigns some desirable or publicly approved attitude, especially one whose private life, opinions, or statements belie his or her public statements."
Professor Jonathan Moyo is a hypocrite per excellence; he fits the two definitions to the t!
"The Statement declares support for scurrilous and unprecedented political attacks on Cabinet Ministers, including myself, who are also Politburo members by the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Media, Information and Broadcasting Services, George Charamba," complained Professor Moyo in his own press statement rebuttal, with the feigned sanctimonious piety of plaster saint.
When it comes to using the public media to attach other people the Professor is the worst offender. The nation only knows too well of how he has his two stints as Minister of Information to brainwash the nation as he turned the country Public print and electronic media into a well-oiled Zanu PF propaganda machine. He also used the public media to de-campaign and destroy his perceive political rivalries within the party.
It was Professor Moyo who masterminded the scandalous corruption stories by Premier Medical Aid Society (PMAS) CEO, Cuthbert Dube and other Board Members including George Charamba. The former was being paid $500 000 a month in salary and allowances whilst the latter was get as much as $100 000 per year in fees.
Whilst other political parties are built on ideology and sound achievements, Zanu PF is built on corruption and tyrannical oppression. Naturally the party has vehemently denied that there was corruption in the country much less in public office and involving party officials.
President Mugabe, himself the leading exponent of those denying that there was no corruption and it was the one destroying the economy. Instead he led the charge in heaping all the blame for the country's economic woes on the "illegal sanctions imposed by the evil British imperialists and the Western allies". The expose of rampant corruption in PMAS and other public institutions and parastatals was putting to the sword the lie that there was no corruption. President Mugabe had no choice but to step in and stop the exposes; he knew who was behind the leaks and did not mince his words. He publicly denounced Professor Moyo calling him "the devil incarnate and the weevil destroying Zanu PF from within"!
"It is extraordinary and indeed scary that the Dzivarasekwa Presidential Guard Barracks was used as a venue for a meeting whose purpose was to plot and threaten physical harm against a Cabinet Minister and Politburo member appointed to both offices by His Excellency, the President. This was a gross and unacceptable abuse of a State facility," continued the sanctimonious saint Jonathan Moyo.
Professor, what were you and a few other doing in Tsholotsho in 2004 if not plotting a coup against the same president whose appointed ministers and politburo members you now consider "untouchable".
Professor Moyo was one of the ministers who attending Grace Mugabe's "baby dumping" rallies to ouster Joice Mujuru in 2014. Joice Mujuru was then accused of plotting to assassinate President Mugabe a charge that has never been proven or had anyone arrested over to this day. It was none other than Professor Moyo who had the last word on this; he still maintained the matter was still under police investigation and those responsible will be charged.
When is come to plotting destroy others, succession and coups and factional wars Professor Moyo is the granddad political intrigue and all manner cloak and dagger devilish activities but being the granddad of hypocrites he is quick in reaching for the Bible especially when he is the target of an attack!
