Mnangagwa pays the price

I lament that Opposition politics have become part and parcel of the ugly ploys and machinations of Zanu however noble we may want to view it. How come these men and women are unable to tell right from wrong irrespective of who is targeted? This would have been the right time for Teurai Ropa to rise up and pay tribute to gone comrades by condemning efforts on elimination of human life in any way, shape and form on others in power contestation. But when prisoners see the evil not in the Sheriff, but among themselves, they are victims to divide and rule and could be swept at the sheriff's pleasure anyway he pleases. Ladies and gentlemen study, with pathos, the saga of prisoners rising to conquer the prison chief officer in Zimbabwe prison political system. Possibly prisoners are the only one who can demonstrate anger at the sheriff, who knows, because Zimbabwe politics has defied all norms.
Firstly, as a Christian and secondly, as a human right activist, irrespective of hate one might harbour against Emmerson Mnangagwa either as a person or as a Zanu portage, I will not be, and have never been in favour of any human induced death on another human being however the motives may be. The collapse of our democracy in Zimbabwe originated from this heinous admiration of the-eliminate-your enemy political survival system from Zanu. The system sugar coats rule of law and supremacy of the constitution while in truth it abhors all elements of it and prefers from, deeds and acts manifested, the State of Nature governance type. If masses ever doubted the inhuman hand of Zanu in controlling politics in Zimbabwe, their eyes need open now.
Zimbabwe is not a tribe. Zimbabwe is not an individual. Zimbabwe is neither about one family nor a village. Zimbabwe is people owned that thrives on the supremacy of the constitution, of the rule of law and the system of representation sustained, maintained and upheld by its authors the people of Zimbabwe. Food poison as a weapon to internal struggles is an act of gagsters and thugs who do not deserve to run the country. How did they get there? The Zimbabwe prison political system has put many in denial. Subsequently small battles on nothingness are sustained while substantive battles of life, health and development are thwarted as a strategy of a few manipulating the rest.
Prisoners often know much about the prison system and fall in 'love' with prison chiefs in order either to receive early release on good behavior or stay close for favours while serving their sentences. No doubt from her inception and the thirty years of ruling, mysterious deaths of many high ranking Zanu cadres has occurred and met with dead silence. Needless to mention names, but suffice to say the road to freedom in Zimbabwe has been marred with extremely ugly blood shading on the innocent and proponents of true freedom and democracy. Not only was blood shade during the war. Blood has, is and will be shade in Zimbabwe in ways so conniving and clandestine that only the country's authority would be indicted as guilty if a free and fair legal inquiry was instituted in the country to trace and find cause for disappearances and mysterious deaths to many who held office in Zanu or criticised it openly.
If prisoners are the actors on behalf of the Chief of prison, once they do not carry instructions to the letter, they run the risk of mysterious disappearance or death in view of their being the only reliable witnesses if the dirty games are discovered. No doubt, Mr. Robert Mugabe and his relationship to his lieutenant for close to forty years, Emmerson Mnangagwa, out dates his recent marriage to Grace Marufu. But Grace appears to be the new sheriff in the Zimbabwe political prison system that is in a hurry to exercise power for the fun of power and wealth accumulation.
Unfortunately for Grace, and the best for Zimbabwe though, is that her skills are lacking in experience of the Machiavellian politics while equally true Mr. Mugabe is inevitably suffering from natural wastage. The combination is, and has to be disaster as evidenced by unfolding events in our politics of chance through elimination. The good is the price to freedom is soon maturing if Zimbabweans have drawn any lessons of note.
The real fierce but silent battle on succession begun when Grace Marufu took over as Sheriff number two in the Zimbabwe political prison system. The battle was subtle and nasty but could not manifest without repercussions on the chief sheriff Mr. Robert Mugabe himself. A roller-caster politics begun adjusting from within from Veterans against Mr. Mugabe to their ousting from the association; out to the current state when crisis looms with a bitter aim to revenge and rid of a once upon time stalwart of Mr. Robert Mugabe, Emmerson Mnangangwa. Whether it's good or bad depends on whose stake we consider at jeopardy. That people have died causing more questions in the mind of Zimbabweans cannot be doubted. That many will be sorrowful at the departure of any arch rivalry to Mr. Mugabe through mysteriously political innuendos would honestly be a gross statement given where the country has come from.
To think that since Grace married Mr. Mugabe peace existed in State House is too imaginary and cannot be a blessing to our country. That Mr. Mugabe spotted the unsettlement in his new wife is true when he appointed her Secretary of women affairs which triggered the fall of 'Teurai Ropa' Nhongo and no doubt opened a shape battle between prisoners within the prison political system of Zanu. Zanu has resisted reformation and 'killed' opposition for a very long time from 1987 with the union of Zanu and Zapu at the be haste of Mr. Mugabe's politics of survival backed by his surrogates all of whom are at disarrays in one form or another today. That G40 is born characterises a history of a Mr. Robert Mugabe ousting both Ndabaningi Sithole and Herbert Chitepo rein in a sequence of formula politics. We see him again ousting Mr. Joshua Nkomo to wear him into a Union of Patriotic Front. That, though, his long survival was prolonged by the 'War Veterans' as King Markers in Zimbabwe prison political system is not a subject of debate than open evidence.
However way the development current in our prison political system take, it cannot be denied even from the readership of pieces of news that the country is in shock and wondering who could ever be the best person to please the geriatric leader Mr. Robert Mugabe for succession. Having dribbled 'Teurai Roapa' out of Zanu was shocking but resorting to open handed plan to eliminate a supposedly close comrade who had asked to resign is callous and exemplifies the inhuman nature of who this president is. Might it highlight the recent visit of our neighbour the former president of South Africa Mr. Thabo Mbeki or is it too much imagination?
In Zimbabwe Prison Political System (ZPPS) where prisoners are supportive as well as main actors, the fate of other prisoners as well as that of their own; typifies a condition of politics marred in both greedy of wealth and of power and envy. It no doubt has no room for national interest. Zimbabwe citizens are at best advised to rise now and ask for a national referendum to return the government to the people for the people by the people in and through a referendum. The alternative is not difficulty to see at all given events that took place elsewhere in the continent. Soldiers have a pretext to take over whether we question what is meant by soldiers. Veterans are calling for change contrary to what Mr. Mugabe espoused for the last thirty eight years of his rule. The soldiers are a hierarchy of command and their commander has taken a position directing affairs contrary to the Chief Sheriff in the prison politics of Zimbabwe.
The good book has warned that those who use arms to kill will die through use of arms and vice versa. What happens in Zimbabwe prison political system highlight deadly power machinations which have been put to silence never to surface. Where we are now needs strong personalities, who are fearless to rise and urge for the building of a national interest coalition. No doubt the veterans realize their vulnerability, so also does their comrades in the services of the country's government. We need each other to build Zimbabwe. We need no dictators, or families that wish to take the country into personal possession. Tribe, color and politics of prisoners strategy has and is failing. The last thing Zimbabweans need avoid is lead the country into blood shading out of greedy and personal ambitions of anybody. We need guard against selfishness going beyond the constitution of Zimbabwe.
