MDC's liability Women's Assembly attack on Zanu-PF ill-treatment of women

The slogan is common, going deep and wide but goes nowhere beyond lip-service. This is a summarised extract from Reginald Thabani Gola's "Operation Save Africa Campaign: The Multi-National Silent Holocaust."

Thamarie Chimanzi has risen high against what she termed as ZANU PF insensitivity to women issues. Published by Bulawayo24, 11 March, 2017. It remains as most interesting but nasty to observe that when MDC's Morgan Tsvangirai unleashed his weapon of mass destruction from within his pants upon multiple women of all ages across the political divide and the borders respectively, the same Women's Assembly found nothing to write home about. Worse still, when Morgan Tsvangirai went for out-of-court settlements for his bed-hopping escapades, settling huge amounts, with a single one having gone as much as US $300 000, from the respective party subscription fees from a suffering people surviving on less than US$1 per day, and Membership Card sales, the more deaf the MDC Women's Assembly became. And still found Tsvangirai as fit for presidential candidature. Over the tenure of The Global Political Agreement, administrative chaos and theft in MDC governed municipalities would have driven any normal Women's Assembly out of their skin. But because the war was targeted on ZANU PF, every other transgressor would have immune to good order. Would it be democracy across the street and not at home. Despite the fact that others preach that charity begins at home.

When ZANU PF Women's League led by "Dr" Grace Mugabe and Oppah Muchinguri were deployed against Zimbabwe's first female Vice President, Dr. Joyce Mujuru, the MDC Women's Assembly went into hibernation. The African National Congress of South Africa Women's League was unleashed by patriarchy to destroy struggle stalwart, The Mother of The Revolution, Winnie Madikizela-Mandela. Despite the fact that there was no part of the revolution without her foot-print. When former Malawian President and first such female, battled patriarchy to constitutionally ascend to power after the death of sitting president, Bingu Wa Mutharika, almost five years ago, the MDC Women's Assembly has so far found "zero" cause for concern.

In 2009, when the First Shopper of Zimbabwe, (Zimbabwe's own version of The Philipines' Emelda Marcos) Grace Mugabe, was sported on one of her wild shopping sprees in Hong Kong, at a national perilous moment, when women and children were fainting and dying in food stampedes, the same Women's Assemblies found nothing amiss to this very day. And ignored fodder for the revolution.

When President Mugabe flushes US$1 million dollars on chartered flights when the hospitals have "zero" medication and unpaid staff, therefore, highly demotivated. Civil servants still waiting for 2016 bonuses, highly pot-holed cities and an over 95 percent unemployment rate and unemployed graduates, in a country where the only viable business is funeral under-taking, the same MDC Women's Assembly has conveniently remained much out-of-picture, and, therefore, as silent as a grave, to the present.

One never stops wondering as to the question if these women were surely ready to rule and up-lift one another. As to whether these women were ready to be both women's genuine welfare campaigners and practitioners. The window-dressing campaign targets the woman on the street, who never has any platform to register her concerns. Institutionalised victims in organisations and households in the hands of messianic predators, are never attended to. All men set-up with a few women feminine depressors and oppressors.

Women's Assemblies have ignored palace sex traffickers and renamed it polygamous marriages. Despite the fact that in South African President, Jacob Zuma's Inkandla Residence alone, there has been one nasty suicide, one divorce, one rape and one case of spousal poisoning. The annual sex strip tease parades in King Mswati 111's Swaziland Ludzidzini Palace and Zulu King Goodwill Zwelithini's Enyokeni Palace, where teenage girls as young as 12, were raided into palace sex trafficking. And these Women's Assemblies were part of the sex trafficking celebrations.

In the case of the Zuma rape, like what happened to Joyce Mujuru, the ANC Women's League was deployed full- force upon the victim on the street, at home and in court. The poor woman had to be whisked out of the country in favour of a palace rapist. Women went on night vigils in court to intimidate both the victim and the judiciary in favour of the accused. Women must come of age if they value their cause and stop misdirecting their energies and wisdom  The pull-her-down syndrome would close-shop if women stopped their active patronage upon the unholy system.
