Chamisa is incapable of making a rational argument.
"He (Chamisa) said President Emmerson Mnangagwa is punishing the nation for not voting for him on July 30," reported the Daily News.
"Chamisa said this in light of the deteriorating situation in the country which Mnangagwa said should be endured as it is a process leading to better days.
"We have witnessed some developing trends on the political environment, clearly government is at war with the people and they are being punished for rejecting the government on July 30.
"When all else ceases government knows one thing, that they did not win the election, they did not win the mandate of the people and this is why they have behaved in a bizarre fashion," he said.
Only a village idiot would believe that President Mnangagwa and his Zanu PF would have carefully plotted to have the foreign currency shortage, the financial chaos brought on by the Bond Notes value going up and down like a yoyo, the shortage of bread, fuel, medicine, etc.
There is no doubt that the one thing President Mnangagwa had wished for more than anything since seizing power nearly a year ago was to see a flood of investors and lenders pouring into the country in response to his "Zimbabwe is open for business!" carrion call. It was not to be, investors and lenders have continued to shy away from investing in Zimbabwe.
The country's worsening economic situation is a result of President Mnangagwa's failure to get the fundamentals right such as holding free, fair and credible elections, ending corruption, stop the waste of resources on new cars for chefs and on chartered planes, etc. and not just talk about it. Zimbabwe cannot be open for business when it remains a pariah state ruled by corrupt and vote rigging thugs. Investors do not do business this thugs because of the hustle and the risk of being mugged!
There is no doubt that Mnangagwa understood the need end Zanu PF's reputation as a party of thugs hence the reason for all that talk of "new Zimbabwe and new dispensation". He was hoping that talking about holding free, fair and credible elections would suffice. The prospect of implementing the democratic reforms and giving up all Zanu PF's dictatorial powers to rig the elections was a bridge to far for him and his junta cronies.
Zimbabwe's economic meltdown are a result of Mnangagwa and his junta's refusal to accept the reality that Zimbabwe will never achieve any meaningful economic recovery as long as the country remains a pariah state ruled by corrupt and vote rigging thugs. Chamisa's suggestion the regime is causing the economic meltdown to punish the people is nonsense. The nonsensical narrative we have learnt to expect from corrupt and incompetent opposition leaders who claim to have the answers to all the nation's problems but will only disappoint because they have no clue!
Chamisa and his MDC friends have the golden opportunity to implement the democratic reforms designed to stop Zanu PF rigging the elections during the 2008 GNU, for example. They failed to get even one reform implemented in five years.
Chamisa is taking advantage of the economic meltdown gripping the nation to push MDC Alliance agenda for the nation to have another GNU. He claims to have "the key to unlock economic recovery". He and his MDC friends will be no more than puddles in the Zanu PF dominated government. No one will be fooled into believe the regime is anything else other than a pariah state.
The only way out of this hell-hole Zanu PF has landed us in is for the party to step down to allow for the appointment of a interim administration that will implement the democratic reforms and then hold free, fair and credible elections.
Zimbabwe's economic recovery is impossible whilst the country remains a pariah state ruled by corrupt and vote rigging thugs!
"Chamisa added that the country needs a national transitional authority to lay the framework to resolve the national economic crisis adding that the MDC is ready for discussion," continued the Daily News.
The country would not be needed this transitional authority if MDC had implemented the reforms during the 2008 GNU. Yes, the country needs a transition arrangement but neither Zanu PF nor MDC leaders involved in the 2008 GNU should play any part in the new arrangement. They have already proven beyond all doubt that they are corrupt and incompetent, the nation must look for select competent men and women and no more recycled deadwood!
