The fall of the Zimbabwe dictator is gathering speed

A soft political coup led by G40 has taken place in Zimbabwe. The dictatorship of Robert Mugabe and his patronage political machine linked to the liberation struggle is now crumbling at a fast pace driven from within its patrons and clients caused by a defective succession plan. The popularity of Mugabe has declined as he runs amok demobilising his long-time patronage clients in a bid to hand over power to his chosen new patronage power holder, Grace Mugabe. Mugabe is now held hostage by his own wife, the billions of dollars he appropriated to himself, several mansions he built and bought, top of the range cars he accumulated illegally, mismanagement of the economy, Matabeleland genocide he presided over, the farms he allocated to himself, diamond and gold mines that he stole from the people. Most of all Mugabe has become the prisoner of his own egocentric and selfish thinking.

Mugabe has made one of the worst blunders of his lifetime by openly supporting his wife to become the next president of Zanu-PF in the expense of party due processes. Mugabe is now a lonely man and alone surrounded by the Young Turks that are ambivalent to the ideals of the liberation struggle of Zimbabwe. Mugabe isolated himself from the people who worked and protected him since pre-independence of Zimbabwe. G40 succeeded to separate Mugabe from the people who otherwise gave him authentic respect than the superficial respect he is made to believe he is getting now. Mugabe was conned to surround himself with unscrupulous men and women who are paradoxically working towards his down fall. Compliments go to the five star intellectual esteem of Professor Jonathan Moyo. He has kept to his word to destroy Zanu-PF from within to revenge the execution of his father who was killed by Mugabe's Gukurahundi mercenaries. Moyo has ejected the number two Zanu-PF men, Mnangagwa and next to eject is the number one men, Mugabe. Moyo enchanted and tapped into Grace and Mugabe's power egos to make them debilitate their long-time trusted lieutenants that include Solomon Mujuru who was assassinated; Joyce Mujuru, Didymus Mutasa, Rugare Ranga Gumbo and Kudakwashe Bhasikiti who were purged and Emmerson Mnangagwa was recently expelled from Zanu-PF and government by Mugabe. Hundreds of comrades of the liberation struggle are on the line for expulsion. The court martial is already in motion.

The mutinous gang of G40 seditiously captured the president of Zimbabwe, locked him up at the state house while entertaining him with an abundant free love portions from the first lady to tame the beast from anxiety and anger. Mugabe surrendered his autocratic power to the gang of political hooligans of Grace Mugabe, Sydney Sekeramai, Augustine Chihuri, Jonathan Moyo, Saviour Kusakuwere, Phekelezela Moyo, Ignatius Chombo, Kudzanayi Chipanga and Patrick Zhuwao. The lover boys of the young first lady and master minders of the Zanu-PF coup want to take charge of both Zanu-PF and government. They are also in the Zanu-PF national disciplinary committee imposing a latent of expulsions of Zanu-PF men and women linked to the Zimbabwe liberation struggle. G40 is attempting to consolidate its position and authority. It is on a mission to ensure that its position and authority is consolidated by using aggressive methods subjecting their perceived enemies to indiscriminate disappearances, killings, arrests, imprisonments, fraud charges, purging and demotions. The ideology of G40 intends to completely destroy all remnants of the liberation struggle to introduce a completely new political ideology and direction. Zanu-PF members linked to the liberation struggle that are in the army, police, correctional services, the executive, judiciary and civil service are high profile targets to be demobbed. Zanu-PF is eating itself up and those who are not willing to protect themselves from the marauding G40 will be devoured together with their bones. Those with links to the liberation struggle currently working and accepted by G40 are required as a means to an end. Once the end is achieved their role will not be required.

The role of Grace Mugabe is propelling the end of Zanu-PF and the end of Robert Mugabe. Her involvement is full of speed and undeterred excitement. Her actions are driven by emotions of greed, hate, power and she thinks with her heart as opposed to her brains. Grace Mugabe is the hall mark of a power hungry wife of a dictator. Her next manoeuvres are no longer going to be about Mugabe. Mugabe may as well die now. It longer matters to her if Mugabe died at this point. Mugabe is captured and held hostage. Access to Mugabe would be completely impossible in case he is swayed. G40 would continue to make sure that the 'one centre of power' rhetoric continued to be used as their shield and weapon to drive forward their own goals. With Grace in power economic needs of the country will continue to be ignored with most of her energies allocated to building protective bunkers for G40 power. Social and political pressures within the country will mount due to the economic meltdown, cash crisis, food shortages, and erratic water and electricity supplies. Public procurement of goods and services; awards of contracts; grants, subsides, service benefits packs, soft credits, extra budgetary funds and receipts from foreign aid will be trapped in a corrupt system trading on bribes, embezzlement, fraud, extortions, abuse of power, favouritism and nepotism. Corruption will become more endemic in Zimbabwe crippling the provision for goods and services. The infrastructure will grind to halt, roods will become treacherous, water taps will dry, hospitals will become death zones, schools will become place of containment and the cost of living will sky rocket beyond the reach of ordinary people. There will be an exodus of both economic and political refuges to neighbouring countries and other countries abroad. Refugee camps will proliferate in neighbouring countries putting pressure on resources of those countries. People living outside Zimbabwe may begin to form organised resistance. The liberation struggle of Zimbabwe was fought from outside and within the country. The fight for democracy can be fought from outside and within Zimbabwe just like the liberation struggle was. The fall of Dictator Idi Amin was inspired by the people he had exiled into Tanzania, they conducted an armed offensive helped by Tanzania that eventually defeated and forced Amin to flee the country into exile. The obtaining scenario based on the statements made by Chiwenga and corrective actions by the army is indicative of the resistance to the bad judgement and decision made by Mugabe to expel Mnangagwa. Mugabe suddenly forgot that the army has always been the power behind his rule. He is turning against them in favour of his wife. The coercive apparatus that Mugabe used to supress others are now turning against him. He is already feeling the heat and a sudden awareness and realisation knocks in his head that without the backing of the army he is not as powerful as he has always perceived of himself to be.

Grace Mugabe is primarily leading a puppet government in the transition to the fall of the dictator. Grace attempted to run a still born government synonymous to the 1979 short lived puppet government of Bishop Abel Muzorewa of Zimbabwe Rhodesia. The Muzorewa puppet government was put in place by the colonial government of Ian Douglass Smith to deceive the black majority people to think that they had attained independence. The Dictator Robert Mugabe started badly in 1980 as the Prime minister of Zimbabwe by killing 20000 people in Matabeleland and he is working tirelessly to end it badly with his mutinous G40 war mongers. Mugabe attempted to put his puppet Zanu-PF leaders led by his wife Grace to lead Zanu-PF. G40 is being imposed on the people; they have not been elected by the people; they do not represent the people and they are political malcontents attempting to jump the queue and grab power. The Zimbabwe military is currently putting a stop to all this nonsense and the fun fair is over for G40. They spoke at youth interface rallies as if they had anything serious in their sleeves. Empty vessels!

Spouses of dictators, Grace Mugabe included have a common identity. They tend to think that they have the entitlement to intervene and take over power from their husbands to carry on the influence of their families. They attempt to take over the presidency of their countries driven by the instinct of the inevitable fear of loss of power of their husbands. Malawian Mama Cecilia Kadzamira had a lot of influence towards the end of the rule of dictator, Kamuzu Banda. She became powerful and menacing but her power came crushing down when Kamuzu Banda died.

Simone Gbagbo was the wife of dictator, Laurent Gbagbo of Ivory Coast. She influenced her husband to refuse to hand over power following his defeat during that country presidential elections, His refusal to hand over power prompted a civil unrest that led to both Someone and her husband Gbagbo being captured and tried for treason.

Imelda Marcos was a ruthless woman with a compulsive obsession to shoes. It is believed that she had over 1000 pairs of shoes with diamond soles. Imelda caused the death of many people leading to the fall of her husband Dictator Ferdinand Marcos of Philippines. The couple was ejected from the country's palace following popular protests people fed up with human rights violations, political repression and causing economic ruin of the country.
The matrimonial power of evil of Elan Ceausescu, wife of the Romanian dictator, Nicolae Ceausescu led to the death of the couple by a firing squad on 25 December 1989 for crimes against humanity including genocide. Elan is believed to have been instrumental and had a pretty large hand in what was going in the state house. She had a large thirsty for power influencing her husband to make unpleasant national decisions.
Jiang Qing also known as Madam Mao was the wife of the chairman of the communist party of China Mao Tse-tung 1949 to 1976. Leveraging the power from her elderly husband worked with a gang of four to usurp power from her husband but that came to an end when Mao died.

Wabanchi Bishaw wife of the then Ethiopian President Mengestu Haile Marriam now exiled in Zimbabwe enjoys the luxury of two heavily guarded Villas in Harare and Lake Kariba. Mengistu and his wife are enjoying the fruits of crimes of genocide and for ignoring famine that killed one million Ethiopians.

Grace Mugabe is already on the high way ride, stealing from the public purse buying mansions, villas, expensive jewellery and businesses in and outside the country. It is not known how much works of art, gold, diamonds and silver Grace has already externalised. Historical evidence does not lie. Grace appears powerful now but this won't be the same when Mugabe dies. The army has moved in and she has resigned into the bunkers of the state house and already under house arrest and considered a treasonous criminal.

Mugabe is simply living in past political glory by failing to read the current mood within his party, the country and the anger seething within the people. Mugabe is so consumed with his messianic mission that he probably over-reads the degree of his support amongst Zimbabweans including government and security agencies. People are not blind to patriotism to the extent of ignoring reality. Patriotism and loyalty is a duty endowed to the country. Party leaders deserve loyalty when their behaviour is honest, true and resonates with the needs and aspirations of the people. People are more powerful than the patronage dictatorial power held by Mugabe. The dictator Mugabe needs people behind him. The problem is that Mugabe needs support from people to use their support for deception to feed his power egos. Ordinary people of Zimbabwe are more aware of their stake in the politics of their country. Zimbabweans have for a long time been subjected to victims of poverty and oppression by Mugabe. Mugabe is known for his arrogance taking people for granted viewing them as too rural, too illiterate, too poor and too ethnic to influence any political transformation. It is this constituency that has been short changed by Mugabe for long time and it is happy to see Mugabe out of state house.

Mugabe has a strong paranoid orientation. He is ready for retaliation and, not without reason, he sees himself as surrounded by enemies within and outside of his party. Sadly he ignores his role in creating those enemies. The conspiracy theories he spins are not merely for popular consumption, but are a reflection of his paranoid mind-set. He convinces people that his position is undermined, and finds a persuasive chain of evidence for this conclusion when in fact it is his way of dealing with perceived or real enemies. The end of such people is never by the ballot. Their end resides someway in the coercive world. Dictator Mugabe made serious mistakes by using force to suppress the people's desire towards a progressive political and social change that benefits all. Well known deposed dictators tried to use the same brute methods to stop the people's wishes for change but failed; talk of Tunisia's dictator Zine El Abidine Ben Ali deposed and sought exile in the Middle East; Egypt's Hosni Mubarak was arrested and tried by the people; Libya's dictator Muammar Gadhafi was shot to death from under the drainage pipe. Those dictators could not stop the wave of people power. Fascist Italian dictator Benito was shot and his body stoned by civilians. Manuel Noriega was captured and he served a long term prison sentence in USA. Saddam Hussain was captured hiding in a muddy foxhole and he was sentenced to death by a firing squad. Mengistu lives in exile in Zimbabwe looked after by another dictator. Dictators look after each other. This is a reminder that dictatorship is likely to end in a bad note. The fate of Zimbabwe dictator Mugabe is now at crescendo towards his eminent fall from Grace. Many of the dictators never see it coming until it knocks on their door. The rule of Robert Mugabe is definitely coming to an end. He will die in office or he will be ejected by people as his stay in power is now a national security risk. The best he can do for now is to throw in the towel. Things are no longer in his favour.
