Zimbabwe is one big Zanu-PF society

You guys are not serious at all!
I told everyone who reads my social media as far back as April that there was a rift at the top of the opposition party after the deliberate but unstrategic marginalisation of the senior leadership in the opposition.
You took turns to insult me saying that the opposition was united, and that it was my own misplaced imagination that there was a rift at the top.
I told you all that the risk and failure to making the senior guys part of an united election campaign was a massive strategic error because after Zanu-PF has rigged, Nelson Chamisa would not have the key pillars to help him face ZANUPF in the different political arenas, again makazvifonera lying to yourselves that there was unity in the opposition.
I repeatedly reminded you here that the failure to have a proper structured leadership would weaken the party, again I got more insults.
You did what you deceitfully do always using the false equivalence argument that the MDCA was taken over with structured leadership.
Yet you all know that the MDCA was taken over because of Morgan Tsvangirai's unconstitutional appointments of 2 Vice Presidents, something that you also rabidly supported against the legal advice of Advocate Eric Matinenga whose blood is pure with love for the opposition and was the GNU Constitutional Affairs Minister.
The real truth is that Dr Nkosana Moyo was right that Zimbabwe is one big Zanu-PF society, and that the way Zanu-PF behaves is the same way that many Zimbabweans behave.
Today you are reaping the consequences of these misplaced and juvenile political decisions that you supported, it is not as if you didn't know, we told you repeatedly here.
You simply don't like being told the truth when it doesn't suit your own political narratives that defend your favorite politicians whether it is Zanu-PF or CCC, it is a Zimbabwean thing that Dr Nkosana Moyo talked about.
You are not fighting for democracy because democracy is rule based, you have constantly supported misrule as long as it is being done by Nelson Chamisa.
You supported his marginalisation of the senior colleagues, you supported his one man election campaign.
I say a one man election campaign because all the senior leaders were not allowed to address elections rallies where Nelson Chamisa was.
If he had won he would have claimed the victory as his, but I also warned that if he loses the loss would be his whether it comes through rigging or not.
We were not speaking out of turn, we were speaking based on what both Nelson Chamisa and his senior colleagues were saying to each other.
You hypocritically ask those maligned leaders to come to the fore when the party is in trouble due to the unconstitutionalism that you supported!
Tendai Biti was told by Chamisa that he had a dream and God told him that he was not part of the CCC parliamentary future, ask Biti or Chamisa if I am lying!
Yet today you ask the same Tendai Biti who was spoken of in the dream to come and defend the party after the decisions you made have backfired!
You are hypocrites and should leave those that you never wanted to carry on with their lives!
I have used Morena Mashaba, @Realeboha_Pa's tweet to address many who think like you and are saying the same things that you have said.
Mduduzi Mathuthu is being insulted for speaking his mind yet you pretend to be democrats, to you democracy is agreeing with everything you do whether right or wrong.
Political dynamics in a political party can be complex leading to differing perspectives contributing to varied opinions, that is healthy.
But it is essential for a healthy democracy to encourage open dialogue and diverse viewpoints and not call everyone who disagrees with you a sell out.
Some of us say these truths in order for history to record us correctly not for today's RETWEETS or LIKES.
Remember that every decision in life has consequences, when those consequences come, don't pretend that you didn't make those decisions.
Accept your responsibilities!
