Zanu-PF, a bootlickers orgarnisation
19 Aug 2014 at 16:14hrs | Views
I saw it on ZTV during the youth conference, Robert Mugabe failing to walk well. He limbed sickly and staggered on to hold on to the chair arranged for him to sit. That is pathetic for Zanu Pf to force on to us such a sick and now invalid old man, now totally useless, except of cause, only for an insulting and curse ridden voice. Zanu Pf abuses the people of Zimbabwe to the utter limit. After I saw him struggle to walk on the stage at the Youth conference, I strongly think Mugabe should resign immediately. There are many young people in Zimbabwe and even in Zanu Pf itself who can replace Mugabe.
What else does Mugabe hope to still achieve given the more than three decades he has hung on to power. The past three decades have seen every service delivery transit from performing excellently to absolutely dismal. We also have grown under Mugabe's oppression and ruthlessness that has seen people cower, afraid even to criticize him even around their family members or most trusted friends. Many people have disappeared, beaten, incarcerated, injured or tortured in open places at the hands of Zanu Pf and Mugabe. Mugabe has over the years used ruthless and brutal means to silence the people of Zimbabwe. Zanu Pf has become an evil force in Zimbabwe and it is bent on sinking down to the bottom pulling with it the people of Zimbabwe. Zanu Pf is a party of bootlickers and everyone thrives or makes progress through the party ranks through licking Mugabe's shoes, I mean everyone, with no exception.
Mugabe has made himself indispensible to the party and according to his wish, he will die in office. Age and death do not lie, like I saw him limp, he will leave his polarized party to fight for the top position. Mugabe himself has not imagined anyone else being a leader besides himself. He is selfish guy who the only ‘beings' he thinks of are himself and his family. He has abused and cheated the whole of Zimbabwe for his own selfish ends. Mugabe has virtually manipulated his own party people and opposition party to his advantage. Sadly he is now flanged by a woman who is exactly like him in terms of selfishness.
Zanu Pf party members are not exactly innocent or passive in devastating the state of Zimbabwe and its people. Whilst Mugabe aimlessly clings to power, its members made sure they loot and pillage Zimbabwean resources. Grace Mugabe and all Zanu Pf members are two sides of a same coin, shameless chancers who fuelled Mugabe's ambitions of staying in power so that they can continue to amass wealth as their benefit. While Mugabe gest what he desires, stay in power until his death, Grace and Zanu Pf got immensely rich through unjust means. It is actually the two who brought the Zimbabwean economy and infrastructure to its knees. Mugabe on his part, made sure that he would never let anyone in his party to be charged with corruption. So those who supported Mugabe's ambition to stay in power could and looted at will. From independence, none has ever been charged of corruption in Zimbabwe. All the state apparatus, being implicated, has made sure that corruption is never dealt with effectively. Zanu Pf has made corruption legal in Zimbabwe.
Mugabe in his speeches abuses the heroes by pretending to be praising them. I think he does not mean all that he says. Even the state controlled media sing praises to the sunken heroes in rhythm with the octogenarian leader, all the name of continuing to loot and abuse the people of Zimbabwe. Even Joshua Nkomo who was oppressed enormously by Mugabe has had a statue erected in his honor by the rogue Zanu pf govt. Matebeleland people see and resent this but under the Mugabe's cruel and criminal grip, they can never really openly protest their resentment of the hypocrisy, lest they will be obliterated.
Now that Mugabe has now assumed the SADC chairmanship, he has the audacity to ‘advise' the body to rely less on external funding for its programs. SADC countries have enormous resources that are being looted by the sitting liberating movement governments' officials. SADC countries governments are all composed of imposters as leaders. They lament international indifference to it, whilst they are busy pillaging the region's resources alongside massive human rights abuses. If SADC was genuine in its endeavor to prosper the peoples it represents, it could well overfund its own programs using its own resources. Mugabe as its leader for now will see the body's policies veer tragically off any right path. Mugabe has reduced the economy and infrastructure of Zimbabwe to ruins. Now with him carrying the sanction blame game to SADC, this will see the whole region continue in its downward trend in terms of development in step with Zimbabwe. Mugabe will do only his best to resign and go and only nurse his misplaced hatred and old age. This will be a great service to both SADC and Zimbabwe. Mugabe having killed over 20 000 Ndebele people, has no right whatsoever to lecture to Israel about human right abuses. Israel is only doing its best to defend its people from Hamass' terroristic and suicidal tendencies that use human shields when attacking Israel. Mugabe does not fully understand the really issues underlying the conflict. Mugabe is only happy when his mouth is open, he does not care if he fully understand the subject.
On the other hand Mumbengegwi has grown a lengthy tail in his taunting of the suffering and oppressed Zimbabweans. Zimbabweans don't take to the streets because Mugabe's government uses brutal means to silence the people. Many people who tried to riot have been killed, beaten or simply made to disappear in Zimbabwe under the hands of CIO, Army, police or uncontrolled Zanu pf youths. People in Zimbabwe are afraid to complain because they know what a monster Mugabe becomes when dealing with dissent. Even high profiled officials in Zanu Pf dread Mugabe. They also worship him to stay in power or to get promoted, ask Muzembi. All in Zanu pf know the simple self-evident truth, never go against Mugabe. All in Zanu Pf are simply waiting for his death to openly declare their ambitions to the throne. But the old man seemingly want to enjoy the throne to the last minutes, he can't imagine leaving all the bootlicks and worshipping behind. Mumbengegwi is a shameful liar, for he fully knows how the extent to which his government oppresses the people, how they manipulate the voting process in their part's favor and how Zanu pf mandated corruption rips the fiscus. He now then jeers at the people now that they are too scared to take to the streets to demand their rights.
Well Mr Chamisa is threatening to boycott all the elections. What have they been waiting for all these years? Look here at the facts on the ground. Opposition parties contest in an election in which they have no means of verifying any minute part of the election process. They have no access to the voter's role, they can't freely hold rallies. The security forces openly pledge their support for the ruling Zanu Pf and vow not to let anyone take over from Mugabe. The government also controls the all the national media and uses this to intimidate everyone, even the judiciary. Mugabe also appoints ZEC officials and the sitting judges. As long as these irregularities are not refashioned, forget about fair elections. It is not worthwhile to contest in elections conducted under these deeply flawed conditions which are heavily tilted in Zanu Pf's favor. If opposition parties which contested in the past under these settings looked stupid, those who continue to contest under the same state of affairs maybe do not intellect and their I.Q maybe close to zero. So for Chamisa, a threat to boycott is simply inadequate. Boycotting is an effective tool the opposition has in their hands because Zanu pf requires legitimacy to govern. With Mugabe single handedly appointing the Constitutional Court Judges, a legal recourse is impossible if elections are rigged, given that these justices know and are inclined to bow to their boss. The opposition must insist on the reforms first and must not contest in any elections conducted under skewed settings. We witnessed this in the 31stJuly elections where voters' role was feloniously withheld, and where the ‘court' seemed reluctant to compel ZEC to avail election material to be used as evidence. Also the state controlled media was quick to endorse Zanu Pf victory and began a tirade of mocking at the ‘losing' opposition parties. Again Mugabe was bootlicked until sparkling clean and after that, off to loot, they went.
