Mliswa should do himself a favor by rejoining Zanu PF

"Zanu PF an untouchable machine, declares Mliswa" - Spare us the crap Mliswa we know why Zanu PF is untouchable if you don't know I will spell it for you. Zanu PF is untouchable because it has created a toxic system where undemocratic practices are passed on as democratic. Zanu PF is untouchable because elections are a shame in Zimbabwe, the electoral playing field heavily favors Zanu PF and one wonders why the opposition even bothers to contest these flowed polls. Zanu PF is untouchable because Mugabe has created a bootlicking cabal that kneels and grovel at his table whilst corruption, looting, greed, plunder, theft and gross mismanagement of almost everything continues unabated . If you don't believe me just look at the state of roads and plundered farms around the country. The cabal is rewarded generously for bootlicking loyalty, if you don't believe me again just ask Jonathan Moyo he is free as a bird after admitting to doing a Robin Hood to Zimdef funds. Zanu PF is untouchable because Zec is heavily politicized to an extent that free and fare polls are impossible in Zimbabwe. It is very sad to hear Zapu declaring Dabengwa as their 2018 presidential candidate.

My first question is if everyone is aware of the need for electoral reforms why is the opposition even bothering to contest these shamefully flawed polls? I'm sure Dabengwa, Mujuru and Madhuku know the answer to this question, but l for one am not interested in knowing the answer because it's obvious the answer has to do with the overbearing lust for power. Remember Madhuku transformed NCA into a political party just to stay at the helm and as the leader. It boggles the mind just trying to understand why Madhuku risks the lives of NCA candidates for a mare 300 votes because Madock Chivasa is still nursing the wounds of that brutal beating at the hands of Zanu PF thugs right now as I pen this piece. My plea to Madhuku is please have a heart 300 votes is not worth a human life. My other plea to all opposition leaders, the Mai Mujurus, Madhukus of this world is please you are murdering our future by contesting in Zimbabwe polls that are being held under the present prevailing evil conditions. Politicians please have a heart and boycott all polls in Zimbabwe until electoral reforms are made its the only way to dismantle this evil system, trust me a coalition under these treacherous conditions will never succeed.

Now back to Mliswa, you boldly declare that "if Zanu PF focuses on Implementing the policies of its Manifesto it will be untouchable". Well that will never happen because Zanu PF never focuses on implementing policies and programs that enhances the lives of ordinary Zimbabweans since 1980, why? Because it's a party obsessed with maintaining and retaining power. In the 80s they focused on crushing Zapu and establishing a one party state. Soon after the Zapu threat was dealt with they briefly focused on crushing Edgar Tekere's Zum in the early 90s and remember Patrick Kombayi was shot because of Zum. Still in the 90s the economy was sacrificed to pacify restive war veterans and we see the results of that ill advised payout today as Zimbabwe has no currency. In the 2000s era came the threat of the MDC and the fight and quest to crush it completely obliterated the economy and left it in tatters as Zanu PF went for broke just to stay in power, again if you don't believe me just look at the state of the economy , it has never recovered up to today.

So please Mliswa don't try to have us believe that Zanu PF is not focusing on the economy because of the succession issue. The truth of the matter is Zanu PF has never and will never focus on bettering the lives of Zimbabweans and it's track record speaks for itself. Please Mliswa remember Africa is cursed with the politics of power, in this land power matters above all and electoral promises are never implemented. Just look at Zanu PF it's 2013 electoral promises not even one was implemented, why? Because the objective to retain power was achieved. Now we read that Jonathan Moyo has launched a sanctions impact research to the tune of $150 000, already l smell a scapegoat being cooked to be ready for 2018 where a propaganda blitz will be launched to justify why Zanu PF failed to fulfill 2013 electoral promises, this will be hammered home hard through the aid of statistics and data from this hideous research which is being fronted by Zanu PF sympathizers. Since Moyo is the election campaign strategy go to guy for Zanu PF he will simply champion the, we failed to implement 2013 promises because of sanctions and here Is a research document to prove it. How convenient to be Zanu PF, so Mliswa go back to Zanu PF and stop making embarrassing statements, by so doing you proving beyond reasonable doubts that all ex Zanu PF people can never be trusted. Meanwhile we look in awe as Donald Trump has already started fulfilling election promises, oil pipeline is being revived, the coal mines resuscitated and Obama Care being repelled and this is all being done within the first week

In power. Why is this so you may ask? Because in developed countries power lies with the people not with the politicians, that's why in Africa the people only matter during voting.

So Mliswa please return to Zanu PF you attained your seat in parliament with the help of opposition politicians and activists and now you attack them as lacking the answers to solve Zimbabwe's problems how convenient! Let those who have the balls to stick to what they believe in soldier on whilst you go back to Zanu PF with your tail tucked between your legs trust me Mliswa others will be following right behind you and we won't be surprised.
