Chamisa Violated Voting Right's - A grave error

19 Jun 2018 at 14:34hrs | Views
My brother in Christ President Chamisa, it is sad that some of your words can never be trusted anymore as they don't materialize at this stage, what more when you're ZIM President? You promised all party members in all corners of the country to hold primary elections so that they chose a leader they want and satisfy their democratic appetite. However, in less than a month after a promise, you several times changed your words and did absolutely the opposite of that. You failed to protect the Ntumbane-Makhandeni and Magwegwe Deemocratic process.

You had promised a primary election in these Constituencies. I'd use the harsh word, _you lied_ to me because the two Constituencies did not have an election.

Failing to protect the voting rights means that, you have robbed power, depriving people the person of their choice. This was your duty once you discovered that the election problems were occuring. This I will call it political ineptitude and possible being a political hack.

In a text to me, you stated that you will fix the problem and then you instructed a team to fix it, but nothing happened. Then one day before Nomination Court, you referred me back to the provincial structures and nothing was useful from them as they stated, "that you had blocked the election".

Suprisingly, today you went on twitter accusing ZEC for Goal shifting dates to avail the voters roll to you. Why cry about this ZEC foul, when this is what you did to Ntumbane-Makhandeni Magwegwe and even Insiza North? Dont cry foul, because you failed to facilitate a democratic duty in our people's movement by denying quite a number of Constituencies to vote for their leadership.

You robbed people their Democratic Human Right. You have violated Human Rights under the Geneva Convention Laws. I personal do not see you fit for the position of President of the Republic even after you've won the election. I believe after winning give your party position to someone with a deep vision like Elias Mudzuri or Douglas Mwonzora for Presidency because you have committed crimes against your people, our republic and the rest of the world. This we will make the world know because we can't go around looking for funding for genuine cause while you break the oath. You asked that we keep sanctions against ZANU-PF till elections are held freely and fairly. Yet you yourself have engaged in corruption to sell member of parliaments seats to the highest bidder. How different are you from ZANU-PF that we are fighting? How do you expect the electorate to view you? What picture are you showing the world, the Zimbabwean youths, the teenagers?

You are no longer qualified or worth that position of the highest office on land.  The world  has moved from the politics of oppression to an open society. I say oppression because oppressed people aren't allowed to vote. You have suppressed the voices of Ntumbane-Makhandeni, Insiza North and Magwegwe. You've created political detest, animosity, polerisation and above all you've split your vote. Look at the number of Independents only in Magwegwe. Look the number of MP Candidates in Magwegwe. They're just above any other Constituency in Zimbabwe. Ask yourself why? I can no longer trust on your political orientation because you have created a political intense environment out of this movement entity. People trusted you but you betrayed them. We're now worried about your background, because as a pastor why would you lie? How do you sleep at night when some people are crying, angry, fighting because of your misdeeds. You have taken everything from us.

Magwegwe people begged for their democracy. Six times, they stood in a line to vote. Six Times you sent them back home and said to them. "No vote".

A lot of people are angry but can't venture their anger out because of victimisation as our movement has turned to be a mini-ZANU-PF, since the so called Vanguard is after truthful, honest and wise speaking people. Also some Provincial Leaders are now behaving in a Mafia system e.g. Manicaland Leadership.

I'm a member of MDC-T, shall always and I'll always fight for what is right for the people just like what Jason Moyo, Aaron Ndabambi, Nikita Mangena and Aaron Ndhlovu did when Joshua Nkomo got out of line. I fear not to tell the truth because I owe nothing to any person, but fairness, equality, equity and justice.
