In defence of Liz Tsvangirai

Just how did my fellow Zimbos become such hypocrites. I sit here and read this story on Elizabeth Tsvangirai's alleged love affair with one Kennedy Ngirazi. Now, let's just get one thing very clear, I am not an MDC supporter, neither am I Zanu-PF. I am one of the many who lost confidence in Zimbabwean politics. I don't believe in anything that the political parties of today are offering. I have a plethora of reasons why l say so, and these will form subject of another article all together.
So like every other Zimbabwean, I too have been following with much interest, the Morgan, Elizabeth, Lorcadia and many others' love web which is a lot like a storyline from one of my favourite soapie "Desperate Housewives." The drama has just been so intriguing. It has certainly kept many of us literally sitting at the edge of our seats, anxious as to what is next?
It has recently been revealed that despite her marriage to the former Prime Minister, the beautiful Elizabeth has rekindled her love affair with her ex, one Kennedy Ngirazi the father of her youngest daughter Tashinga. So what? Is this story really worth all the hype, In a society like ours? Can Elizabeth be faltered for her actions? I certainly do not think so. After all Elizabeth is a beautiful young woman who I believe fell in love with the idea of becoming the next Zimbabwean first lady.
This is a lady I very well doubt was genuinely swept off her feet by our Morgan. Theirs was so obviously material love. Now we all know our Morgan is not very facially blessed, but am certain he must be quite a charmer. Material type of love is a common phenomenon in our modern society. Aren't most people marrying for money? Aren't many people dating for money? I am a young lady myself and l can confirm that among my peers, money plays a crucial role in enticing one's affection. Are we not raised in a society where as soon as you advise your aunt that you want to marry, who are interrogated as to the financial position of your potential spouse? Is it not prudent in our society to marry a rich man? If Elizabeth married for the money ,then big up to her.
Besides, people shouldn't easily forgive that this lady entered into a marriage with a man with a whole load of baggage. Children all over the place, let alone lovers. Am sure the two had major trust issues. And that is an awesome recipe for a potentially disastrous marriage. Somewhere along the line, it appears our beloved Morgan, lost sight of what was important in his chase to unseat our President. This is clearly derived from the emails authored by Liz to her lover seeking advice as to how to go about purchasing and importing her luxurious motor vehicles. It is this agenda that resulted in the two having a rendezvous in Cape Town.
Morgan like most men, slept on the job. He took the Madam for granted and she fell into the hands of someone else. Now many of you gentleman, are regrettably making the same mistake. Most of you will find themselves in the predicament our former Premiere is in today. To put it bluntly you are going to get played. Women are very funny creatures, we thrive on attention. It is our ultimate high. You withdraw attention and of course affection, best believe we may just look for it elsewhere. Don't get me wrong, am not at all an advocate for adultery, am merely a social commentator who tells it like she sees it.
There was once a time it was an abomination for married woman to cheat. It was totally unheard off. Times have changed. Most married woman l know are having, or have had affairs in their marriages. Who are these married women having affairs with, one may be tempted to question. Funny enough with other married men. This is what is happening in Zimbabwe today. So, why are my fellow Zimbabwean such hypocrites? Many of you are wagging their tongues so loudly; one would assume you have no skeletons in your own closets. In any event, is it not rumored that our First lady cheated on her husband with the President while his then wife was on her death bed? Why don't we leave poor Lizzy alone and focus on more important issues.
Then again was the hacking and subsequent publication of this woman's emails not an invasion of her constitutionally protected privacy? Why are we then condoning this unethical if not criminal act perpetrated on her? In my view poor Lizzy is the victim here. Even the Bible in John 8:7 (King James Version) says: "... Let him with no sin among you cast a stone at her."
