Energy Mutodi a member of Zanu PF who was fired from the party during the Robert Mugabe's reign has claimed that there has been a awesome celebrations from the people in Goromonzi West after President Emmerson Mnangagwa's administration brought him back into the party.

Reports states that there is great fun and jubilation going on in Goromonzi West since last week as multitudes celebrate the coming back of Energy Mutodi as their Provincial member,  Biggie Matiza as Chairman of Mashonaland East Province and the rise of President Emmerson Mnangagwa to become the President of Zimbabwe.

"The celebrations are being sponsored by Energy Mutodi who has since donated thousands of dollars towards the celebrations dubbed "ED VICTORY CAMPAIGN.   On Thursday 8 March, the celebrations were held in Shumba ward and were attended by at least 3000 Zanu PF members, followed by Sally Mugabe Nyamande District where approximately 2000 members attended and on Saturday 10 March, the celebrations were held in Chinamora and Sally Mugabe Heights Districts where a collective 7000 people attended," he said.
 
"There was a record crowd at Sally Mugabe Heights specifically where at least 5000 party members showed up. Zanu PF is set to square out with at least 107 registered opposition parties in this year's elections. There is no doubt the ruling party will win resoundingly as there isn't any threatening single opposition party."
 
Mudoti said the MDC-T, the country's biggest opposition party suffered a huge setback following the death of its leader Morgan Tsvangirai who succumbed to colony cancer in South Africa recently; leaving his party in shambles.

"Power struggles between party deputy President Thokozani Khupe and the party's young leader Nelson Chamisa have not done any good for the fragile opposition party that has split more than 5 times since its formation in 1999.

On the other hand, another opposition party being led by former ZANU PF Vice President Joice Mujuru seems to be non-existent in both urban and rural constituencies, making it clear that Mujuru will hardly get even a single constituency in this election," he said.
 
"Similarly, another newly formed opposition party named the National Patriotic Front (NPF) that has been created by former President Robert Mugabe in order to fight his former deputy Emmerson Mnangagwa is set to have a still birth as many of those reported to be part of it have distanced themselves from it. Mugabe is a dictator who ruled Zimbabwe with an iron fist, suppressing the opposition while promoting hate speech and tribalism."
 
He said Mugabe who relied on divide and rule tactics in order to remain in power and created praise-singers whom he rewarded with corrupt deals.

"He also aimed to be succeeded by his wife Grace Mugabe as the country's President, leading to his overthrow by the army in November last year. The nonagenarian ruined the country's once thriving economy by dictating populist policies in his cabinet, creating widespread unemployment as companies closed while foreign direct investment dried up. The country's universities every year channeled out graduates who could not secure jobs on the market during Mugabe's authoritarian rule, prompting the graduates to flee to other countries while forcing others to survive through street vending and prostitution," he said.
 
" Like Mutasa's Zim PF, the NPF is set to have a still birth as no Zimbabwean in his right state of mind will vote for a party that seeks to resurrect Mugabe and his gluttonous G40 cabal. While Mugabe had been loved for leading the liberation struggle against the racist Smith regime, promoting unity and for building schools in post independent Zimbabwe, he is hated for his role in the Matebeleland massacres as well for leading one of Africa's most corrupt regimes."
 
He said Mugabe has too many skeletons in his cupboard as many of his critics died in stage managed accidents while others disappeared without trace for voicing their concerns against his dictatorial rule and human rights abuses.

"Mugabe can therefore be tried for various crimes including crimes against humanity if he tries to re-launch himself in politics and fight against President Emmerson Mnangagwa. The nonagenarian also risks losing his 21 farms that he grabbed at the height of the chaotic land reform exercise that has been blamed for the demise of the local currency and its replacement by a basket of foreign currencies," he said.
