Tsvangirai calls for mass demonstrations wicked!

It is mind boggling to note that Morgan Tsvangirai is calling for mass demonstrations against Government which is synonymous with his trade unionist activism when he was in the Zimbabwe Congress of Trade Unions ZCTU). This is an indicator that he is running short supply of ideas after his successive failures in polls since 2000.

Mass demonstrations are volatile and are likely to degenerate into anarchy which may lead to fully-fledged violence which may embrace the rest of the nation. It seems he is not content with the level of intra-party violence which he is fanning daily in our MDC-T. He wants to spread his wings of violence into the entire nation. My question is, if he has failed to keep our party intact and we are facing a total collapse, how is he going to manage issues which spread beyond the scope of the party?

After all real democracy is not shrouded in demonstrations. Is this his admission that he has failed to gain power constitutionally, hence the need to smuggle himself through the back door. I want to warn him that this will be taken as subversion which will give the passport to Chikurubi maximum prison for free. Probably that is the right place for such hardcore morons.

Tsvangirai lacks basic charisma which makes up a good leader. I wonder his tactful and strategic acumen. In the past, when he called for mass protests which were dubbed "Final Push", he failed to lead the masses. Instead he chose to stay at his Stratahaven home awaiting the masses to lead themselves on the streets of Harare. The police had to call him briefly at Harare Central Police Station for questioning in connection with the planned protests before he was released, and he went back to his home again. Masses were left stranded on the streets with no leadership. As a result the Final Push failed dismally.

In view of his historical record of splendid failures, I can't help to laugh my lungs out what changes have taken place in him since then which makes us believe that he will succeed this time around. The prudent thing he can do at the moment is to assist in the resuscitation of the economy which is declining while he is watching from the terraces as if he is at a soccer match. That is the only way his leadership can be put to test, as opposed to reinvigorating efforts to destruction only. The electorate may see his relevance as an alternative president out of that.

But I want to warn this man that, a father cannot fight outsiders successfully when he is an enemy to everyone in his family. Therefore surely how can Tsvangirai succeed in mobilizing masses into protests when our party is in disarray? United we stand! Divided we fall!

Tsvangirai is putting effort to divert attention from our party to national issues which are more challenging to him. I urge this man to put our house in order before straying to national issues. The most critical issue in our party is leadership renewal first then we can strategize from there. We need to address the leadership crisis in MDC-T first for us to move forward.

It is embarrassing to note that our support base is fast losing faith in the leadership which is concentrating on bickering than realigning the party to boost our relevance on the political landscape.

I say to Tsvangirai stop witch-hunting now so that we operate democratically in the party!

It is my best belief that Elton Mangoma has working solutions for our party guys. Let's respect this man for standing sternly for democracy in the party. It is sad to note that Tsvangirai views his ideas grudgingly. But we need to give him a chance to see what he has on offer for us. Let's not allow ourselves to be driven by arrogance and narrow-selfish thinking which compromise the proper integrity of our party.

I have a special appeal to all true democrats in the party to ensure that we join hands and resurrect democracy which is on the death bed in MDC-T, lest we crumble!
