Nelson Chamisa Captured - Welshman and Biti are Non events

As events were unfolding this past few days I could not ignore the drama at play in the MDC T alliance. The old guard is now irrelevant despite the fact that they enjoy absolute support both in rural and urban areas. The end result shall be a divided electorate. To be warned is to be forearmed.

His (Chamisa) relationship with the alliance partners is of no help. Welshman Ncube is a learned guy I don't doubt that fact but as a politician he is a non event. A failure. He has no support whatsoever in Matabeleland. Even in his home area. He is not a popular figure. The only message he has is that of devolution of which is covered in our national constitution. This means that any leader taking over power will also implement the same concept.

Mr Tendai Biti again is a failure. He has no supporters. I put a challenge to anyone doubting me. Let Tendai do a rally where MDCT is not a factor and see if he can pull a thousand people. Honestly you cannot bank your support on the caliber of the two figures mentioned above. They can never be a presidential material. The post of an advisor to the emperor Nero needs a father figure. A man of the people. A man who has the support base.

The current capture of MDCT alliance president by Tendai Biti and Welshman Ncube will leave the party weaker in the face of the resurgent ZANU PF party that is following all Democratic principles to the book at the moment. He needs to stick with the very comrades that were with him when things were thick and when things were thin. He needs an advisor. The alliance partners have nothing in common except a ticket into office riding on the power and strength of MDCT.

And who is MDCT...it is the personalities that stayed behind in 2005 when Ncube broke ranks. It is the comrades who stayed put when Tendai broke ranks in 2013. The comrades who stayed put when when Mangona went away. And in Bulawayo it was Felix M Mafa Sibanda, Thabitha Khumalo and Gift Banda who held and steered the ship when there was a Khupe break away; Not Ncube, not Biti and the other flies that swarm the steak.

Welshman Ncube has never garnered a 93000 votes in the national election. Prove me and look at the data from 2013.

Manicaland- 13422

Mashonaland Central -3525

Mashonaland East -6231

Mashonaland West 15603

Masvingo -9878

Matebeleland North -13003

Matebelaland South -12726

Midlands - 11036

Total Votes - 92637 and 1 seat won by Misihairambwi for the parliament.

It is fine to have them on deck but nowhere near the vice president seat for they harbor presidential ambitions and always set to derail our MDC ship. They have done it before and they will do it again. We the people have the right to decide who gets close to our president and we hope our president takes heed of our message. The only job for the Welshman and the Biti is to spoil and then hold their position close to power. There are dragging close to the coat tail of our organization and hope we get angry and all walk away to split our inheritance. Morgan left us to steer this ship, and yet here we are, we have been robbed as the MDC T family. We are being robbed of everything. We are now being robbed of all that Morgan left us with and we all need, must look at the numbers. We have not given this mandate to the president to allocate cream positions to these charlatans. We want them in the alliance, but not absolute power that belongs to our hard workers who have been loyal. Its a matter of time, we will have drama emanating from their chivalry.

They now plan to give away our brand to Khupe so they can hijack the peoples movement. Why are we silent Zimbabwe? Can't you see what is happening. They are killing our prophets one by one, derailing our bullet train movement right before our eyes. No ones respects Welshman and Biti otherwise, they would have won their home towns. The power is the people. Take heed or see how it will manifest into lighting.

I rest my submission.
