'Mnangagwa is sincere' says Masiyiwa - was he, when rigged recent elections

"Concerning the change taking place in Zimbabwe, I believe it is real. I believe President Mnangagwa is sincere," said Strive Masiyiwa on CNBC Africa.

"Zimbabwe needs to be given a chance. The sanctions should be removed, there is no justifications for them any more. I have always been on record to say the sanctions are not justified. You cannot have one country operating with its hands tied behind its back!"

As Zimbabweans, there are somethings we can agree to differ on but there are others that are basic and fundamental truths that to question them is sacrilege. Zanu PF is a party of ruthless thugs who have systematically denied the ordinary Zimbabweans their freedoms and basic human rights including their right to an meaningful say in the governance of the country and even the right to life itself!

We are talking of Zanu PF, a party that has destroyed the nation's economy because of 38 years of gross mismanagement and rampant corruption forcing 75% of our people to live in abject poverty. Mr Masiyiwa, over 10 million of Zimbabwe 14 million population are living on US$1.00 or less a day!

We are talking about a party, Zanu PF, whose appetite for power and wealth is insatiable. Ever since the party got into power in 1980, it has corrupted the nation's state institutions, cheated elections, harassed, beaten, raped and even murdered innocent Zimbabweans to establish and retain a de facto one party dictatorship.

The party has murdered over 30 000 innocent Zimbabweans in its 38 years reign of terror.
President Mnangagwa promised to hold free, fair and credible elections only to blatantly rig the 30 July 2018 elections - just as he has done countless time as Mugabe's Chief Enforcer. He had seven protestors shot dead on 1st August followed by weeks in which Zanu PF opponents were roughed up; just to remind us all that he and his junta will not hesitate to shed fresh blood to retain their iron grip on power.

Zimbabwe's economic meltdown is back in ICU, the country facing serious shortages of food, fuel, medicine, foreign currency, etc. The shortages were triggered by President Mnangagwa's reckless spending buying new cars for Chiefs and party officials, on chartered planes, on vote rigging and vote buying schemes, etc.

Zimbabwe needs a large injection of investment and financial assistance to kick-start its comatose economy. Sadly, the country is not going to get any such leg-up because no investors will do business in a pariah state ruled by corrupt and vote rigging thugs.
The Americans made is very clear that the targeted sanctions would be lifted if Zanu PF held free, fair and credible elections. The party rigged the 30 July 2018 elections and so it is nonsensical to call for the sanctions to be lifted!

President Mnangagwa is a corrupt, vote rigging and ruthless thug. And as long as the nation remains under this tyranny our people will continue suffer in abject poverty denied of all their rights, hope and human dignity.

"President Mnangagwa is sincere!" The tyrant staged the November 2017 military coup, went on to blatantly rigged the July 2018 elections and right it is clear has failed to rig economic recovery but will hold on to power to the bitter end. Sincere! What is so sincere about a vote rigging thug holding the whole nation to ransom!!!
