Mai Mujuru is in trouble and if she thinks that she will wriggle out with some stupid double talk; she has something else coming.

"Hongu semunhu ndine zvitadzo, handingarambe. Asi musandipawo zvandisina," [As a human being, I have weaknesses, but people should not make false claims about me] Mujuru said at a party held in Dotito to celebrate her attainment of a PhD qualification last month.

"Some people might hate me simply because they dislike my face," she continued. "It is not my fault that I might have an ugly face, but God might be proud of me. I say, don't despise me because of how I look, but [look at] what I can do."


Madam, please the people of Zimbabwe are paying dearly for you and your fellow Zanu PF friends' weaknesses – the country is in an economic mess so much so that 300 000 or 80% of the children are out of school, 16% or 2 million Zimbabweans are living in abject poverty, etc. - do not rub hot chill in the nation's eyes by insulting our collective intelligence. We are here to find a way to end the tragic human suffering so that the some of the 300 000 children can go back to school and the 2 million living in abject poverty can have once decent meal a day, at least. We really do not care a cat's whiskers that you are ugly. Please stick to the point!

Grace Mugabe has accused you of "illicit dealing in diamonds". Corruption is the cancer that has crippled the Zimbabwe economy after decades of this Zanu PF regime denying this is a problem. Grace Mugabe is the first senior Zanu PF official to even admit for the first time that there is corruption. So the nation ask you, Mai Mujuru, does your human weakness – which you have admitted to – include "illicit dealing in diamonds"?

Corruption in the diamond industry is not a trivial national issue; Chiadza and Marange diamond find was valued at a staggering $800 billion back in 2009, a generous windfall that should have fuelled the country's economic transformation and yet so far only a few individuals have benefited from this bonanza.

Zimbabwe is in this economic and political mess because for the last 34 years the nation has not been given a chance to deal with honestly with its problems, corruption was one such problem. The country's repressive political system has stifled all meaningful debate and competition landing us in this mess and the nation is not getting out of this mess until we end this repressive system.

Mai Mujuru, we want a straight answer from you and none of your "I am ugly" feeble excuse, does your human weaknesses include Zanu PF rigging elections, specifically rigging the 31 July 2013 elections?

Mai Mujuru the nation does not care about how ugly you look; it is the corruption and vote rigging that we are concerned about and are determined to put an end to. The people of Zimbabwe are going have free, fair and credible elections, after 34 years of being denied this basic right, and move out of this economic and political hell Zanu PF tyrannical regime landed us.
