Zimbabwe has no option other than a change of govt in order to progress

Let me begin this series of write ups with preamble that governance is not machine management but a human driven process responsive to good decision that minimizes corruption and give eminence to the rule of law for transparency. My own home country Zimbabwe defies logic and has caused a new performance level no other governments dare follow except ruin the country; make the poor poorer and the rich none accountable. Ruled for close to forty years by one political party Zanu-PF, Zimbabwe has repeatedly rigged elections, such that it's no funnier talking of country as a democracy and a liberation struggle crowned nation.

It is important that Zimbabweans understand that Zanu is a system not one person or persons. Born as a political splinter group from Zimbabwe African People's Union (ZAPU) party then led by the late Joshua Nkomo, Zanu is a Cartel supported of western Imperialism and selfishly smart to turn any political critiques into being perceived as puppets of the west dangerous to the country. Zanu may have been a liberation movement and may have waged a liberation struggle war. That was in the past. Today Zanu is an enemy of the country unbeknown to itself due to selfishness and to many of its sheep like members. Zanu is a corrupt political organization that makes rich some nations of Europe and Asia through the international financial cartels. Many Zanu middle men are registered Zimbabwean companies who never the less are shielded by western capital that cover these political and economic trade oligopolies.

It is neither to suggest that all Zanu members are corrupt nor to profess those in opposition political parties is pure. It is to offer an idea that overstaying, even when well intentioned always harvest a crop that takes everything away from the noble course of action. There no doubt is prudence in alternating thereby learning to be tolerant and accepting responsibility as a nation not as individuals. For this reason it is not surprising that some who went to the war cannot see the blessings God gave them to live on but rather think their surviving means all other should be counted less to rule the country except them. This is reversed colonial ethos arising from unclean and impure perception of roles. This problem is corroding Zimbabwe as a country, a nation and a people. Pride of me, I and myself above values of communal strength has caused corruption, decay and disregard of life.

Apart from all else the main problem of Zanu leadership is that they are neither Traditionalist nor Christian. They are hypocrites. They preach love when they seek to use it as a control tool of the faithful and innocent. If you doubt me follow carefully the rallies addressed by both Emmerson Mnangagwa and Robert Mugabe over time. Zanu is an Occult always hero worshipers of condemnatory slogan denigrating others to the dustbin of history. Zanu is about Zanu top hierarchy never about the masses, the poor and disregarded. Zanu by her very actions disregards the poor and brings more suffering upon the nation through her unforgivingly greedy leadership. Each of the leadership swims in cash money and much of properties none accountable. But they are always in debt and poor fueling greedy upon greedy.

There are too many financial transactions that have gone without accounting to countries intentionally selected by individuals within Zanu hierarchy. Zanu hierarchy is a cartel syndicate sweet talking Zimbabwe suffering masses into docility yet abusing them endlessly on lies that the west is its enemy who wants to remove their revolutionary government to establish colonialism again in the country. In this context Zanu paints a picture that any political opposition in the country is a puppet to western imperialism who recruits them to overthrow it from power. There has been and is an economic hemorrhage in the country of Zimbabwe today subsequent to management corruption fueled by syndicates strategically placed to empty resources from the country.

Let's for the meantime move our eyes away from names and focus on events, causes and outcome. It's not about Mnangagwa, or Mugabe, or Chiwenga or the military. It's about a decaying, decayed system involving all vanity loving persons-greedy for money, for wealth, for immorality and abuse of people be it sexually or otherwise. The system is entrenched in self-preservation. Like any ugly manipulative system Zanu acts with unbroken chain reaction to any challenge from outsiders and hence her membership is in all high echelons of government and the public life including churches.

Many and numerous publications of government including those of the catholic commission of justice have published Zanu hierarchy farm owners and how much these farms are worthy. Inevitably a clue on the rot can be taken from there. In a country where land is growing smaller by the day what moral thinking except that of death and greedy can possess anyone to own more than one farm? It makes no sense and should never have been allowed in a society showing a man-eat-man mentality based on we saved you from the colonial masters, we are veterans and deserve everything, while everyone else watch and salivate. When the top man goes corrupt who guards the guards? When executive presidents become the judiciary where are the checks and balance necessary to counteract corruption and poor governance? When Reserve bank becomes a conduit pipe to further personal ambitions of individuals than making sure that the liquidity of the country is in order, who else can take care of proper balancing of national economic issues?

Anyone owning more than two houses unless he is in a business of realtor suggests he earns too much and that his/her salary and packages need reviewing urgently. We are addressing properties that are paid in cash or fully paid within as short a period as months if not done on cash transaction. When one person owns six private exotic cars that cost over hundred thousand American dollar each the values of a country needs revising. Elsewhere results have suggested that an examination of lives of country top leadership going downwards should reveal syndicates and cartels of good for nothing fellows who are parasites on the state funds and used by international oligopolies.

A country short in hospital drugs and yet has a head of state unilaterally take a million dollar decision to bring home former head of state's wife on private visits abroad, irrespective of circumstances, lacks sense of moral priority let alone any national interest for economic development. A country with a president who takes a billion dollar decision that pushes a nation into a war unprepared in order to save another leader against the wishes of that country's citizens, and against his citizens feelings; can only highlight why Zimbabwe cannot come out of her declining economic the wars of black market and shortages. Inevitably there are Zanu players in all these socio-political and economic innuendos.

Incidentally with such callous increasing degree of carefree corruption taking place in Zimbabwe the current government may precipitate violent rebellion from economically chalking and breathless citizens. If the country vanity has reached levels incorrigible through reasoning then external intervention of Diaspora citizen pressure joining hands with those internal becomes urgently necessary. Do not ask how and but ask when. History has a way of repeating itself to redeem itself from mistake of a few who become uncontrollably vicious and dangerous in the public interest.
