'Jonathan Moyo second most delusional, humiliated person to Mugabe'

A journalist Mziwandile Ndlovu has described the former Higher, Tertiary Science and Technology Minister Jonathan Moyo who is on self imposed exile as the second most delusional and humiliated person to the ousted Robert Mugabe.

He said after Robert Mugabe, Jonathan Moyo is the second most delusional and humiliated man after the coup.

"No one is fooled by his carefully chosen suit and clean shirt probably borrowed to mask his current sorry circumstances. His BBC performance was as woeful as Robert Mugabe's 'Asante Sana' presser; sloppy, incoherent and full of hot air. At his best, Prof Moyo is a narcissistic and spiteful man who thrives on mocking his adversaries. There was none of that this morning. He was the embodiment of defeat, delusion, humiliation, shock and confusion," Ndlovu said.

"Even in the throes of defeat, it has not sunk in his head that the world was so desperate to see Robert Mugabe's back and is prepared to look past constitutional and legal arguments. He knows that no-one will buy the ridiculous belief that "Zimbabweans" want to know what happened to Robert Mugabe. He is only sorry that he chose the wrong basket. If he had remained with the Lacoste faction, we all know he would be at the forefront of legitimizing the coup with all sorts of legal arguments and having the time of his life."

He said the G40 has been scattered and annihilated.

Ndlovu said there is no solidarity left. It is each man for himself.

"Some are facing criminal charges on their own, some have gone to beg for mercy on their knees, the proud have left and are quietly starting to rebuild their lives. For all his overrated political scheming, their campaign backfired spectacularly. They pushed too hard too fast and rocked the boat. They were impatient, fanatic and suicidally fronted their campaign with a crude, uncouth and unpolished mad woman. Most perilously, they underestimated their opponents and their preparedness to play their strongest card. The fact that he has not spoken to either Grace and Robert since the coup is telling. Jonathan and Patrick are the last men standing but they will soon tire of their barking," he said.

"Speaking of barking, when the dogs started barking in the background, Jonathan became so unsettled and stammered badly. The embarrassment was apparent on his face. He knew we would all wonder where the hell he is that he has to field a BBC interview in a venue where dogs bark freely. Jonathan will soon be broke and unable to fend for himself and his family. As George Charamba says, one wonders whether he can even afford bananas where he is hiding."

Hesaid he has bounced back from formidable odds in the past.

"He fled law enforcement in Kenya after defrauding the Ford Foundation and eventually wormed his way into ZANU PF. When the system ejected him, he staged yet another dramatic comeback to the core of the system. It is hard to imagine any comeback from his predicament. It could be the end for the nutty Professor, the tragic end. He will most probably fizzle into oblivion and live out the rest of his life a bitter and humiliated man. I hope for his sake, he soon manages to find a way to earn a living and fend for his family," Ndlovu said.
