Mujuru to stumble on award

News that the Zimbabwe People First (Zim PF) leader, Joice Mujuru, last week attended an event in Dubai linked to some so-called 'US icon' did not surprise many Zimbabweans as the opposition leader had previous secretive escapades with the Americans, which were bared through the Wikileaks in 2011.

From what was exposed in the Wikileaks, it was clear that Mujuru was embedded agent of the US, tasked with destabilizing ZANU PF from within.

She leaked confidential information to the US and was subsequently tipped by US emissaries as a 'moderate politician' who should replace President Robert Mugabe.

So, Mujuru had long been working in cahoots with the country's political nemesis way before her expulsion from Government and ZANU PF in 2014.

The only difference now is that the relationship is now being made public for the convenience of pushing her candidacy for the country's Presidency in 2018.

It is a long standing relationship whose beginnings were globally exposed through the 2011 Wikileaks.

Mujuru is now getting rewarded for her Trojan horse role of infiltrating ZANU PF and attempting to destroy it from within.

She is now been officially unveiled to the world by the US as the horse they will back come 2018 and to cap it all, she was given an award for her supposed valour of challenging President Robert Mugabe.

It is a clear instruction to all US political purse holders and other regime change bedfellows to coalesce their funding efforts around the candidacy of Mujuru.

Mujuru has officially displaced Tsvangirai as the official opposition figure supported by the US and its entire neo-imperial juggernaut.

For all intends and purposes, her political script is in tandem to Tsvangirai's own theatre lines, for we have seen the MDC-T leader being branded with the same paint and awarded for neo-imperial bravery.

From a heap of meaningless political awards, Tsvangirai got an honourary doctorate, some French Legion of honour and was paraded before some conferences, with the intention to spruce up his checkered political and personal history to no avail.

Such awards, were not only limited to Tsvangirai, but were also accorded to other rabid anti-President Mugabe activists, who include civic society leaders directors and opposition lawyers such as Jestina Mukoko and Beatrice Mthethwa, respectively.

The western-linked awards are meant to incentivize and energise the local regime change apparatchiks to maintain their neo-imperial bid to depose President Mugabe from power.

For all their labour and sweat, the ploy has so far fallen on the rocks.

With all those accolades and awards breathlessly laden in his trophy cabinet, Tsvangirai has been consecutively rejected by Zimbabweans, for it is not foreigners or their awards that stand in the polling booth to mark the ballot during elections but the sanctions-emaciated voters from villages and suburbs in the country would wield the vote.

As is the case with Tsvangirai, Mujuru's awards would fizzle into nothing.

The westerners and their funding and branding units could stampede all they want to confer Mujuru with awards and other hollow accolades but what they should know is that they are pouring their resources into a bottomless pit, for Mujuru, just like Tsvangirai before her, would resoundingly be rejected by the electorate come 2018.

Unfortunately, Mujuru's imperceptive followers such as Rugare Gumbo, who are gleefully cheering westerners for branding Mujuru their acolyte, are oblivious of the fact that politics in Zimbabwe is decided by association.

It is a polarized situation, where any politician associating himself or herself with westerner neo-imperial ambitions would be comprehensively punished during elections.

Despite being taunted as having extra war liberation credentials compared to Tsvangirai, Mujuru is unquestionably going to be rejected by voters for canoodling with western regime change mongers or their associates.
