'Let us root our corruption,' said Mnangagwa. Never happen now Zanu PF and CCC are partners in crime
3 hrs ago | Views
When he assumed power following the 2017 military coup Mnangagwa promised "zero tolerance of corruption" and we all know that corruption has gone into overdrive since then. Every so often he has admitted his failure to end corruption.
"Meanwhile, I am deeply concerned by the cases of corruption in the local government space and the entire society. Those perpetrating such acts must face the full wrath of our country's law. Let us root out this menace from our society," Mnangagwa warned.
How nauseating!
Zimbabwe has failed to root out corruption because those responsible for enforcing the law are themselves corrupt, they are the godfathers of the mafia gangs controlling and directing all the wholesale looting activities.
As long as Zanu PF retains the carte blanche powers to rig elections; corruption and all the other iniquitous activities that have left Zimbabwe a failed state with millions of our people living in abject poverty, will continue. Zanu PF will never ever reform itself out of office, especially now the regime has become addicted to absolute power and has too many skeletons to hide.
It is no secret that Mnangagwa and many of his Zanu PF colleagues were involved in the politically motivated murders of the over 40 000 innocent Zimbabwe since 1980 to establish and consolidate the de facto Zanu PF dictatorship that has ruled the nation for 44 years and counting.
"Zanu PF ndeye ropa!" Zanu PF cronies have boasted menacingly. Lately, the menace has been tampered with fear; fear of being held to account for the shedded innocent blood! It has taken decades for the law to catch up. The wheels of justice turn very slowly but they do turn!
In the last 24 years, Zanu PF has rigged elections and get away with the connivence of the MDC/CCC leaders. Morgan Tsvangirai and his friends have failed to implement even one token reforms even when they had the golden opportunity to do so during the 2008 to 2013 GNU. And ever since the GNU they have participated in flawed elections to give Zanu PF legitimacy out of greed.
"The (2013) electoral process was so flawed, so illegal, that the only logical step was to withdraw, which would compel SADC to hold Zanu PF to account. But such was the distrust between the MDC-T and MDC-N that neither could withdraw for fear that the other would remain in the elections, winning seats and giving the process credibility," confessed David Coltart in his Book, The Struggle Continues 50 years of Tyranny in Zimbabwe.
The people of Zimbabwe have risked all to elect MDC/CCC leaders into power for one primary purpose - to implement the necessary democratic changes to dismantle the Zanu PF dictatorship, as the party name implied. Mnangagwa blatantly rigged the 2023 elections precisely because MDC/CCC leaders have failed to implement the requisite reforms.
Of course MDC/CCC leaders are corrupt and incompetent. Why the millions of Zimbabweans have failed to realise this even with MDC/CCC failing to implement even one token reform in 24 years beggars belief! The penny has not dropped and so it is almost certain that Chamisa chete chete brigade will participate in flawed 2028 elections in their millions as happened last year to give Zanu PF legitimacy and perpetuate the nation's suffering.
Nations gets the government they deserve and we in Zimbabwe deserve this corrupt and tyrannical Zanu PF dictatorship complete with its entourage of equally corrupt and useless MDC/CCC side-kicks.
"Let us root out corruption from our society!" We will never ever root out corruption without first implement the democratic reforms to stop Zanu PF rigging elections. No meaningful reforms have been implemented in the last 24 years nor in the future as long as Zanu PF and MDC/CCC remain partners in crime, Mnangagwa knows that!
